Dodge Charger Police Package: Doing Donuts, Not Eating Them

A few weeks ago we had a chance to check out the new Police Package Dodge Charger. We've tested cop cars before and haven't exactly been impressed with their performance. But with a 340 hp Hemi under the hood, meaty tires on black steel wheels and a big, big pushbar, this Dodge was the real deal, and we made the tire marks to prove it. (Just to make certain that this Mopar had enough scoot to chase down the perps, we did our best James Rockford driving impersonation.) And, kids, unless your Dodge Charger has the same paint scheme, don't try this at home.

@specops3866 Of course they can have fun, but then they shouldn't give me a $350 ticket for doing exactly the same thing.

Maybe, this video was privately funded by the company that manufacturers the performance upgrades that are used in the cars.

You all realizes its a show filming and not a cop right? Also for those of you that think its a waste of dollars how much should they spend on police vehicles? Sounds like it matters to about 95% of you. Stupid, you should also complain about how much we pay our soldiers cause that makes sense too...NOT!
