Unlike the Charger R/T, the Pursuit has a column shifter, which makes it unique among LX platform cars. Sometimes, however, this idiot won't move aside for the Pursuit, which makes you want to light them up or hit the "yelp" button-which is a big no-no. I rather enjoyed providing this service for my fellow motorists. Nine out of ten times, this moron moves aside for the cop and the lane is open again for people who actually have to go somewhere. One unanticipated benefit to driving the Charger Pursuit is that cars in the fast lane peel away as you approach, eventually revealing the idiot in the front jamming up traffic. These self-righteous drivers just plant themselves in the number one lane and "enjoy" the traffic as the angry mob stacks up behind them. These entitled folks have time on their hand and have been specially chosen by God to be the highway equivalent of the middle-school hallway monitor.
Of course, everybody thinks they belong in the fast lane, and if the slow guy is parked in front of the fast lane, it makes everybody not fast. Truthfully, it's hard to tell the difference I drove it for two days before I tried a burnout, only then realizing it was AWD.ĭriving north to Vegas on the interstate can sometimes be dicey. Dodge used to offer law enforcement a RWD version of the Hemi, but when 97 percent of agencies opted for AWD, the RWD version was dropped. It's not unpleasant mind you, it's just there humming in the background. The source could be aerodynamic (from the roof lights perhaps?), it could be related to the AWD tires, or it could be from the AWD transfer case. We noticed that at higher speed on smoother roads, there is a humming sound coming from the front, not unlike a distant swarm of angry honey bees. The extra mass of the police gear, the aerodynamic drag of the light bar, and the added internal friction of the AWD drivetrain takes a toll, but only if your butt dyno is calibrated to a regular R/T Hemi.
Acceleration, however, is a bit muted, still like a Navy SEAL, but ten years retired and 20 pounds overweight. Power from the 5.7L Hemi is good-best in class for a police car in fact.
