It's got a HEMI

Picked up a 2011 charger with a Hemi (police car) yesterday..had a 300 mile trip to get home...it was fun to see someone pass me and have the deer in the headlights look when they passed me and seen the spot light...

I'm always leary of passing Chargers for that reason. Too hard to tell, especially with tinted windows. Fortunately the 24" spinners usually clue me in that it's safe to pass

Haha, I had my first run in with a Charger cop shortly after I got my Camaro.

I was headed to South Austin to see my girlfriend, I had a hell of a day at work and I was just leaving at 10:30pm and I was exhausted... I just wanted to get to her place and crash. The highway was really empty and I was doing about 80 in the far left lane and some jackass is in the far left going very slow, probably 60ish in a 70.

From a distance I can tell it's a charger, and my mind, burnt out after a 14 hour work day starts to wake up...

"Wait, that's a Charger... don't they have Charger cops in Texas? I can't remember..."
*squints*
"Hrm... can't tell but I'm pulling up real fast on this guy..."
*squints*
"Are those lights in the back wind.... yep!"
*BRAKES*
*Lights on*
*pulled over*

The officer asked me, very literally "What do you think you're doin son, trying to run over a police officer?" What? Yes, it's my intention run people over in my Camaro. He goes on to give me a real solid tongue lashing, threatens to send me to jail for doing more than 15 over (which I wasn't doing), and then lets me off the hook. Must have been my Michigan plates, haha.

I do the same thing. Its funny tho cuz my b/f is a cop and he tells me all the time that people that dont pass him but rather keep up with him, are suspicious and he'll pull them over and most of the time, they have something to hide.

Chrysler 300C's look damn near identical to chargers when coming up behind them....

That's why I got an SS, the bottom part of the fascia will do more damage should I decide to go all Grand Theft Auto and run down people on the side walk. The HUD even tells me how many points I'm getting per person. Perhaps I should get the front ground effects for even better damage.

There is a state trooper in this area that has an unmarked, blue Dodge Caravan. It is really strange to see people pulled over by a minivan.

State law in Ca says cops working traffic enforcement must drive marked, black and white vehicles. No plain wrappers around here.

That is crazy that that is legal. I guess it depends on the state
