"or truck space" haha criminals don't deserve a comfortable ride downtown

GD yankees. Maybe they'll lose control of the pedal and drive into the East River.

Anyway I prefer the Dodge Chargers. Do any of them come in AWD or is that just available on 300s and Magnums? Magnums probably would be alright to use even especially for canine units as they could then transport both dogs and criminals.

I belive it is only the 300 and magnum that come in AWD and even then you are limited with powertrain options to get it I think it only comes with the 5.7 hemi not the V6 or the Hipo 6.1 hemi

Ok, NJGOAT, when was the last time you saw a professional truck driver driving a front wheel drive truck, and when was the last time you saw a guy pull his pleasure boat out of the water with a front wheel drive vehicle, and when was the last time you saw high speed auto racers tear around an oval track with front wheel drive. When is the last time you saw drag racing with front wheel drive. Oops! Front drive drag racers are not competitive with RWD and are novelies only. Sorry.

Yes, that is correct. FWD is not competitive against RWD in high speed racing anywhere.

Ya, I know, most people have forgotten that the old RWD tanks would go for a very long time with very little work needed. And when they did break they cost much less to fix. But hey, the people have spoken. They prefer high maintenance FWD. The shops are laughing.....

Not all RWD are tanks. Just like not all FWD are econoboxes.

Well, very few wheel driven cars at all reach that type of speed.
