Those are stock #s for a stock Charger , they're carrying about 500+ more pounds of equipment (at least) , I think Motor Trend did a piece with a Miata , Evo and Porsche against several Police units . The Miata lost all of them and the Evo smoked them , they stated that they didn't have the heart to test the Porsche..sides it's irrelevant remember they have motorolas.

We all know that the only reason California is broke is because weed is not legalized

For a state as "progressive" as California, especially as it relates to emissions regulations, I find it reprehensible that they see fit to equip the CHP with cars with two-valve, 5.7L V8's.

If you think Chargers, Crown Vic's or even Mustangs are cars you need to be worried about, then you don't know s*it my friends, go to CarbonMotors.com and check out the new line of police cars soon to be in production. The fact is, police cars in America are nothing but mere luxury or big bulky everyday cars you find ordinary people driving on the streets anytime of day or night, only difference is they are fitted with cop lights and other sh*t police need to do their jobs correctly, they are cars made to intimidate you and give officers that "bring it on" fierce mentality they need to maintain their everyday duties, but the new line of carbonmotor E7 vehicles not only have the rough and tough look on the exterior but they also have what officers need inside the cockpit and much more extras they would want.

If I get pulled over for that thing.. I would seriously ask the cop if his car can transform into a robot or something...
