Paging Andy74

[Orange_Crush]

Do you still work at a Dodge dealership?

[andy74]

hey, yes i do,www.valsdodge.com-whats up?

[Orange_Crush]

What's the story on buying Charger cop cars?  There are more than a couple of people over on Moparts who'd be interested in getting one.  Some dealership in Michigan (I believe) as them fleet (5 or more) priced at 24,900.00 (more or less).

[andy74]

ill check it out and get back to you.i am almost positive that in order to get one,you have to have a fleet number,as the cop car charger and magnum arent supposed to be for public use.i have to order a magnum for the local fire department,so i will let you know by the end of the day!

[andy74]

okay, if you did want one,i can order it.the 24900 ones are sxt type,with a 3.5,steel wheels,and a cloth interior,or optional vinyl rear seat.i also specd a hemi car,and it would retail for in the low 29 range,and i could sell it for 27700.how many do ya want!!

all kidding aside,if you wanted a hemi 06,i can probably sell it for about the same with the rebate,and you would have a nicer interior,etc

You might want to talk to some of the guys in this thread.  I gotta finish amortizing my company car before I can buy.

Is there going to be a difference in the engine with the cop cars? IE more horsepower, or a lower gear ratio? More accurate speedo? Or what?

The difference is just in the heavy-duty cooling system (oil, radiator, tranny cooler) and (maybe I'm wrong) they are not top-speed governed.

What is the governor on the new Charger? SRT8, or HEMI R/T, or Daytona?

Hi  Andy          Big  Al             

[Orange_Crush]

What is the governor on the new Charger? SRT8, or HEMI R/T, or Daytona?

The R/T and Daytona are ggovernad at (I believe) 118.  The SRT-8 is ungoverned.  I don't know what the top speed is on it, but the top speed on the 300 SRT-8 is 172 MPH (no, that's not a typo).

[69_500]

So the stock SRT8's don't have a govenor? Where did you get the figure 172 just curious? Was it in a magazine that did a test drive?

I see where they list the new Challenger with the 6.1 as having a top speed of 174 mph.


Heck, no one is going to get one up over 130 or so i'd figure. I mean where do you have that you can really lay the pedal down and not worry about traffic or a ticket?

There is a few stretches of highway between Carlsbad, NM & El Paso, TX where I had the 2005 Mustang I rented from Hertz up to 127mph for at least 2 minutes, just to see what it could do.  I was cruising at 110mph for 4 - 8 minutes at a time.  The land is so flat that you can see for miles ahead.  There are signs saying the area is patrolled by aircraft but.....  There were a couple of times where I would not see another car for 30 minutes at a time.

[472 R/T SE]

I know of a nice flat stretch about 200 miles east of here that I wanted to take the 'tona clone on to see how it reacted at 100 + mph.


Hello andy74.  A few questions too if I could.  What about the next color for the new Daytona's, I thought what they consider purple and sublime were the next 2 colors for the last 2 quarters.  Do you know anything about that?  No one at my mom's dealership knew anything, they never do.  Now all of a sudden, Daimler rushed the color red in there.


If this is what they consider purple, we'll get one.  But it has to look like this, an SRT.   But unfortunately this is a 'chop, I'm willing to bet.
The 300, while sweet, is too much of a pimp ride for me.  I'd rather get into a car with no residual, makes a lot of sense huh.   We may try to get into a 4 door Viper truck too.

[andy74]

hi allblue!

as for the colors,half the time allpar and the net sites know before we do!ill let ya know if i find out anything-the prices on the police stuff posted at mopars was all incorrect,but was probably a early published deal.the red was actually not even added to the chrysler ordering site yet,so it could be a rumor,although i doubt it-ill keep everyone posted

[472 R/T SE]

Thanks for the response man.

So...what's your opinion on the above colored SRT.  A fake?

[andy74]

gotta be a fake,i was just looking on the order site,nothing about any new colors-i just ordered a couple calibers,they should be kind of neat

[Brock Samson]

 The last guy to chime on here, who claims to work for DCX building the pilot cars, said sublime was the next color...

That's what I heard too.

With the tor-red intro, I guess that wasn't the case (or plans have changes).
