The Big Three are finally done one-upping each other in this year's Michigan State Police vehicle evaluations, with the 2012 Dodge Charger (http://www.autoblog.com/dodge/charger/) Pursuit V8 laying down some heady numbers on the test track. The Charger emerged with the fastest lap time ever recorded in the Michigan State Police test's history, at 1:33.7.
That, boys and girls, is something else. The Chevrolet Caprice PPV (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/09/22/chevy-boasts-caprice-ppv-performance-in-michigan-state-police-te/) may have the best top speed and braking, but the Charger has shown it has the chops to slice up the twisties as well. The Hemi-powered Charger also gets to 60 in under six seconds with the optional 3.07 gears.
The only strike against the Charger is that needed a V8 to post those numbers, while both the Chevrolet Caprice and Ford Interceptor (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/09/21/ford-police-interceptors-earn-official-pursuit-ratings/) employ less thirsty V6s.
