2009 Dodge Charger CHP Police Car

I saw this Dodge Charger at the Fountain Valley Car Show. The officer told me that at the moment it is only 1 of 7 Chargers in their inventory. Soon all the Ford Crown Victorias will be phased out and these high performance Chargers will be on the California highways ready to catch speeders.

I know, Dodge Charger + CHP graphics = better than sex.

Those Chargers make one mean looking cop car. It's enough to scare the piss out of the people being chased.

weak siren

@HighRollerz Sucks for you. But down here in James City County VA, the ENTIRE police force are chargers. All vics have been replaced. Except for the 1 undercover one or the few unmarked undercover impalas other than that, the entire force are chargers. Google our police department so you can see them.

Literally stops your heart for a second when this passes you.

@elsamuraiguapo You should see the Arkansas state police's charger

Man CHP has the most boring flash patterns on these. All simultaneous single flash? Horrible.

They should go back to the Federal Signal V bars, specifically these: watch?v=ji-DI1vCjNg

My next ride.. hope to drive these but where i live they still drive the crown victorias

[bcschmerker]

The CA Highway Patrol is equipping these Chargers with Whelen interior lighting packages and CCSRNTA3 relay/amplifiers controlled from a purpose-manufactured Collins/Rockwell master computer. Now if only they'd put the new Timberwolf PS45-T6-M3-C3-F3-A11 behind their grilles for decent siren performance at 90 mph (at which the twin SA315's off the CCSRNTA3 are practically useless)....

@AznPwnageFTW yeah...personally, I love the crown vic...I went on a ride along in a crown vic last saturday, and man does that 4.6 v-8 make a nice sound when it's floored....but it needs more hp and tq., 250 hp and 297 lbs. ft of tq. isn't really enough....my thought was throwing in the 315 hp 4.6 v-8 from last years' mustang gt, or even next years' 412 hp 5.0 v-8.....but after next year, it's not gonna matter...as soon as the last crown vic goes out, the first taurus pi is commin' in...

@chpman2013 Personally, I think that the Crown Vic is a great vehicle that's aging. It would save the departments lots of cash if they just replaced the engine and modernized the interior. However, I do NOT like the Chevy Caprice. It looks horrible and makes me wantta bulldoze it with a Hummer. Charger's... well can only charge. I'm going with either the Taurus or the E7 as the future.

[chpman2013]

@AznPwnageFTW  you got that right....in 2012, there's gonna be a lot of police sedan options since the early 80's...there's gonna the Carbon Motors E7, the Dodge Charger (V-6 and V-8 HEMI), the Chevy Impala, the Chevy Caprice PPV (V-6 and V-8), and finally the Ford Taurus PI (regular V-6 w/ either FWD or AWD, and Ecoboost V-6 w/ AWD standard...the future of police cars is gonna be very interesting, I can tell you that....
