report says a 300hp biodiesel, probably some good tq but it's not mentioned in the article. what's real interesting is it's a ground up build, not apparently based off of any platform.

Looks like a dodge charger police cruiser with new sheetmetal.

Nothing that a rearward firing missile launcher can't fix!
Prolly samples the air for weed and coke residue too, LOL

that back seat does not look comfortable, the few times i was in the back of a cop car the back seat was really roomy, which is important when your hands are handcuffed behind your back....

I like how the back door opens suicide style, easy to throw in thugs!

been watching a show on A&E called parking wars.
they have the new set up where all they do is drive down a street with a camera
looking at plates.
the computer reads the plate and will give a pop up if they have tickets and tell them to boot the car.

just think if you let your insurance expire this car will tag your *** by your plate.
dwi, expired license, warrent, tickets, can't drive around any more.
just sit and let you drive on by, scan, pop up, the chase is on.

300hp biodeisel?? Damn, hopefully they get made in crown vic quantities. That'd be a kickass decomissioned car to buy.

i've seen that show a couple times, it's great every time people are getting the boot they're like "naw i just picked up that ride, didn't change the plates yet"
