It’s been said that it takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar. To instill the fear of God into drivers of those and lesser brands, Dodge has introduced the 2011 Charger Police Pursuit Vehicle.

But, dear Truly Fine Citizen, rather than drive in fear of the law, your life will be better served by acknowledging and respecting it, correct? Hence, your first step in achieving inner peace is by entering to win this official Dodge Charger Pursuit poster from the fine but authoritarian folks at Dodge.

Mopar lore teaches us that the 1969 Dodge Polara Police Pursuit was the fastest cop car west of the Mississippi (a nod to the California Highway Patrol) – they supposedly reached a top speed of 149 MPH at Chelsea Proving Grounds. As the original promotional material states, “Whether it is patrolling, cruising, or high-speed pursuit, the standard and optional V-8 engines of the Polara Police Pursuit provide the exact about of needed power . . . the optional engines provide more than a match for any kind of high-speed patrol duty when blazing action may be required.”

However, a recent Michigan State Police vehicle comparison test put 14 cars through the ringer by a platoon of state troopers. Guess which one was the fastest, handled the best, and even achieved better mileage than its V6 incarnation from a few years ago? Not only is the V8 Charger the right answer, but it put the hallowed 1969 Polara Police Pursuit to shame! Can you say, “Relegated to a desk job?”
