NYPD Revs Up with New Dodge Chargers

from AMNY.com

NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly announced Monday the department would be testing 15 flashy new 2006 Dodge Chargers on regular patrols, giving the NYPD a new top speed of 150 mph. The cars go from 0 to 60 in 6.5 seconds and stop much faster than NYPD's current fleet of Chevrolet Impalas and Ford Crown Victorias, which max out at 110 mph.

The car can also operate in "stealth mode," where all the interior lights are dimmed to look like the car is turned off. The 2006 police model starts at about $29,000.
