Police Cruzers..
« on: August 23, 2013, 10:12:51 AM »
I was in Nevada this morning and saw this new Highway Patrol cruzer. There is a satellite station in Laughlin. I always loved the Nevada dark blue color.

Check out the dark window tint.  8)



I took a closer look at the wheels. Can't be very old as it even smelled new but check out the front disc brakes.



And the rear.  :o



Coming to get you!  :D



Wonder what the Police Package is for these cars. I'm sure a Hemi but what's the horsepower? Was hoping the Officer would come out but didn't see him.

That one is a few years old. The new ones have different contours on the sides.

It sure didn't look old to me.

2013 has an indent in the front door behind the wheel well. This shows it pretty good.  Not sure, but the 2012 might be the same.

I read they are 370 hp and claim 31 mpg on the hiway, and an awd version available.

Ya gotta admit, Those chargers as Pursuit vehicles are very intimidating.They even look mean. meaner than a crown vic.
its better to regret something you have done,than something you havent.Except playing with explosives.

Seattle po-po has had Chargers for a couple of years now. I was surprised yesterday I was sitting in traffic, all of sudden a siren starts up right behind me. It was a late model silver Ford F-150 club cab! lucky he wasn't after me he must have got a call or something. No bubble gum machine just grill and rear window lights. Kind a shocked, they seem to drive anything these days. Our staters drive late model chevy tahoes in tan and gray, very unmarked.
