NYPD adds Dodge Charger to fleet
NYPD adds Dodge Charger to fleet
NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly announced Monday the department would begin testing 15 new Dodge Chargers on regular patrols this week. Kelly suggested the new cars would be ordered by the hundreds to supplement the 3,000 Chevy Impalas and Ford Crown Vics that currently bear the NYPD insignia. The car 340 horsepower features a top speed of 150 mph, and the police edition has an engine oil cooler for long sprints down the highway at such speeds. The car can also operate in "stealth mode," where all the interior lights are dimmed to look like the car is turned off.

Someone has to explain this "stealth mode" to me. So the dome light shuts off when I close the door, and then I use the dimmer switch to turn down the lights on my gauges, can people not see me or something?

I want to know more about Stealth mode. 
Ravin, those links were with regard to NYPD using ten (10) Chargers as testers. In this instance, it seems that the Chargers are going to be a major addition to their cruiser fleet.
(Sidenote: The NYPD better train their officers on how to handle a high performance sedan. They had a hard enough time with those weak Impalas and Crown Vics. Pedestrians beware!!)
