There was an article in yesterday's Virginian Pilot (a Norfolk newspaper) saying that the Virginia State Patrol had taken receipt of several specially-equipped Chargers for service as unmarked cars. It went on to say that the V-8 engine put out 340 hp and did 0-60 in six seconds.
That got me thinking...In 1968 I purchased a Barracuda with a 340-S V-8. It was advertised then as putting out 340 hp. It was the quickest car that I have ever owned; it was difficult to start from a stop light without burning rubber! I wonder if this is the engine they're using in the Charger police car.
