You would be surprised how many cops are closet gearheads, especially the older ones. I guess 'cause we were all so used to the old big-block cop cars we just didn't wanna quit!
On a related (and somewhat boastful) note I can remember the first Hemi Dart I ever saw--- it was the Mutt Bros. streetracing their Dart in a rare appearence in Queens. It was the dead of Winter, bitterly cold, but that Hemi fired up while under an overpass & I never forgot it! Never heard anything like it, either. So after years of messin around, I FINALLY completed my 3rd Hemi Dart just this month! The other 2 all lacked something, but THIS one--I think it'd do those boys proud! Unfortunately I don't know how to post pics!
