Karma for a racer

The Chargers the police have now are very impressive, i think you'd actually have a really hard time trying to elude one.

Do police departments actually dish out money and modify their cars?
No right? I've seen chargers in richer towns and they look pretty badass.
I'd like to race one.

They run nitrous systems. Chargers are pretty damn slow, but when the police get a hold of them, they go pretty damn fast. In general they're modified to catch anything traveling up to around 160 (I think all US cars are limited at 155).

All police cars are usually modified to go faster than the variety of chases that can happen. In general they're modified to catch anything traveling up to around 160 (I think all US cars are limited at 155).

Default Police cars and mods...

I would have to say that the majority of police cars not modified. For the simple reason that one cannot escape the eye in the sky. Why spend money modifying when you can call in a chopper? LAPD for instance does not modify their vehicles anymore.

Not that I endorse, encourage, condone, support, or have EVER attempted or would/will ever attempt to elude the police, BUT it is very unlikely they would be able to catch me.

I'm dyno tuned on a DD dyno at 109 RWHP on a 400lb bike! 0-60 time is roughly under 3 seconds and 60-120 is even faster!!! I'd be long gone before they got their car our of P(park).

I couldn't out run the motorola though...
