2013 Dodge Charger: Power the Police Prefer

2013-charger-badgeThe Dodge Charger is a favorite with police departments.  They recognize that in order to do their job that they need to have the best quality helping them.

The New York Daily News breaks down the new 2013 Dodge Charger and the reasoning why the cops prefer to use it.  What exactly does a police version of the Dodge Charger have?  It’s typically the 292 BHP 3.6L V6 with variable valve timing to get the best fuel efficiency.  The State Patrols go for even more power.  They choose the Charger with 370 BHP, 395 ft.lbs of torque 5.7L Hemi V8 to get the best acceleration.

There are some advantages to handling a vehicle that cops choose.  Think about the way other drivers may get out of your way, confusing you for a unmarked police car.  Might seem unlikely, but when you see the profile of a Charger, you may ease off the gas just in case.

The newest addition to the 2013 Dodge Charger is the V6.  The engine comes with an eight speed transmission.  The eight gear ratios give the V6 17 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.

Want a Dodge Dart? Put It on Your Registry!

Dodge Dart RegistryI remember that when I was getting married, my wife and I walked around our favorite stores with a scan gun and just let our imaginations run wild while we made a registry list. We went aisle to aisle finding every possibility. There was a part of us, though, that knew what we could expect from family and friends. Although, that didn’t stop us from adding on some big ticket items with the thinking of ‘just in case we have a deep pocketed person who really likes us.’ We never did get that flat-screen for the wedding. What if what you wanted, however, was a new car? Seems like a pretty crazy concept doesn’t it. Dodge doesn’t think so. They want you to get registered for a Dodge Dart.

Here’s how the concept works. You go to the special website www.DodgeDartRegistry.com and sign up. Next, you tell all your family and friends about what you just did, and after enduring laughter and skepticism, you explain the process. When you sign up, you choose the how much of the Dart you want to customize. Then you set an amount of money you want to fund it. The website then itemizes the different parts of the car, such as steering wheel, seat, or engine, and then the family and friends step into sponsor a specific part.

This video that Dodge made explains it fully. It also shows how one person, a chef and caterer named Graham Schave, decided to take advantage of the registry.

It might sound a tad absurd at first, but it really sounds like an amazing deal. If you’re looking to get a Dart and are willing to try something new to get a car, this might be the program for you. Check it out.
