I have never once seen a Viper police car. I actually think that photo was staged. I've seen pics of a couple of towns with Z06 cop cars. Only fast car I've seen down here that was a cop car was the Z28 LS1 Interceptors. Those things are scary fast.

Just to do an "In your face" to the local drug dealers, the police here took a new Corvette that was seized in a raid and painted it all up like a police car, lights and everything.

They do use it, but is mostly to stick it to the guys they took if from.

Maybe that is where the Viper came from too.

Begle1,

The Viper and Corvette are bargain cars, for what you would spend on the picture you posted you could buy two of the "V" cars and have them modified to spank your picture and have insurance money left over for the year!!

Back to the Magnum... especially the chopped top look, and the high window sills, can drivers bear to rest their arms on the window sill (window down) while driving? Nat

Not really, but there is an arm rest.

Does the magnum have a blower on it? I remember reading in the magazines that the prototype had a 500hp supercharged hemi in it but I never heard anything else about it.

Was over at the dodge lot for their gathering.. had a nice little BBQ going and I even got a free "silver dollar!" Anyhow... checked out the Magnums... I still like it, it's a good looking vehicle... however, they had a sweeeeeeet looking silver 3500 dually there as well... almost thought about trading mine in!

Saw a black one at the Dodge dealer today while I was getting my truck code checked. Looked too much like a hearse.

I've heard some ads on the radio about a Dodge truck that has the Viper engine in it w/ 500 HP stock. That's quite the engine for a truck! I don't remember what truck it was in though...Dakota or 1500?

Does anyone know what the fuel requirements are for the 3.5L V6 and the Hemi?
