Thanks James, you're right! I did have the two versions (R/T and SRT-8) confused in my post. We were actually toying with the idea of dressing our unmarked as a SRT-8 and not an R/T as I mistakenly said in my earlier post. An R/T really doesn't look that much different than the police version trim-wise, but the SRT-8? BIG visual difference (and the addition of the 7.1L Hemi doesn't hurt either... )[/quote]
6.1 HEMI, said the Dodge guy <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
The 3 cars (Police, SRT, and R/T) are just different from tuning the suspension, power, and body.
The police package is just a Charger SE body with the SRT suspension and, to a point, a better suspension. The three motors available are a 3.5, 5.7, and a 6.1 (SRT only). I've yet to physically see a 6.1 under the hood of a Police package Charger. Had the opportunity to drive a local departments 5.7 at a local dealer and wahoo! The SRT may look and perform like Satans own Mopar but the Police package is the real steal deal.
As a diehard Dodge guy I figured I'd help out this post before it became too confusing.........
BTW Lincoln RI has a new paint job.....I didnt say nicer did I <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
