After stopping for the night in Cheyenne, WY, I had an opportunity to chat with two WY State Troopers in the restaurant where I had dinner. They pulled in in two cars. One a CVPI and the other a Charger.

Possibly the worst paint scheme I've ever seen on State Trooper / HP cars!

Dark Blue with snot yellow logos and 'buckle-up' warnings.

I asked them how they liked the Charger and they seemed to like it.

I told them that more power was expected in the next CVPI model year.

They didn't particularly like my comment about trying to 'PIT' somebody in a unibody car.

I got to check it out up close after going outside.

Nice big 18" wheels. Tiny one person cage in the back seat behind the passenger bucket seat no wider than the seat itself. Had the smaller HEMI.

Large console between the buckets full of gear.

Overall the interior looked cramped and uncomfortable compared to the CVPI.

Regards,

Dave

Saw one of those in WY a few weeks ago. Ugly paint scheme.

Here is a link to one that is for sale. Take note on the trunk space with the full size spare.

This is absolutely correct.I have an unmarked one with the police package. They had to remount the full size spare just to fit in the pwoer packs for the lites and radios. I now have just enough room to fit a small overnite bag to carry all of my equipment in. Other than that i like the car. I don't know how it will be in the snow, with those 18" wheels i'm sure its going to stink.

I believe that the estimates include the light bar, equipment, and idle time.
