The black and white test cars (35 of them) have the V-8 from what I have read and what I was told. The Chargers used by Chiefs and such are the V-6 ones. I will report if one of them actually makes it to my office.

Check the dual exhaust in the rear pic of the back and white one. Dual exhaust = V-8 ...... Single exhaust = V-6.

They (CHP) must have upgraded the brakes (which are the one weak spot of the charger police pkg) in that one EVOC photo of the blue white car with the chrome bling bling front only wheels. They look like the larger SRT rims on the front, see if you can confirm that. The Charger Police package comes with a better than civilian brake set-up but not as good as the SRT cars have. They can not run the SRT brakes because of the huge rims they require. In the first versions of in service Chargers here in NC they were changing pads in 5-10,000 miles! crown vics get 25-30000 out of front pads on in service cars.

I rolled into the IHOP in my zone sunday after briefing for my usual eggs and coffee and an FHP Trooper was there in his new Charger. Looked very sweet, and was Hemi. All FHP will soon be Chargers.

Arg, right..I was thinking of the cheifs cars with the sixes. Is it just me or do the exhaust tips on the EVOC cars look much beefier than those on the B&Ws?

Looks like the EVOC cars have been played with, besides exhaust and brakes the ride hight is super low compared to the black and whites. Look at the nose how low to the ground it is in that one photo.
