So I'm talking to a cop..

[SteveSS]

about his Charger. He likes it and we started talking about performance. He said they had the AWD and a 5.7 Hemi. That was news to me. I looked it up on the Dodge Charger site. Nope. Looked it up on the cop car site. Yes.

That package has been available to law enforcement since 2014:

There was a civilian version as well in 2014, the AWD Sport model, v6 and Hemi. V8 versions weren't included after the 2015 facelift.

I remember reading about the AWD Challenger too. Sadly, it is only available with the V6.

 

[Hey-O]

Makes sense to me, the AWD has been around on that platform for years. A friend has a Magnum Hemi R/T AWD and loves it.

 

[YY1]

are they still column shift?

which you can't buy from the dealer

they already are,the common issues are the transmissions giving out.
one of my friends just bought a furd,erm cough cough,ford interceptor/taurus thing.
i tried showing him all the specs and differences on the dodges but the trans made him leery.
so he bought this toreass,which looks like the trim is falling off already,
a rode hard put away wet kinda car.
i was surprised at how heavy the car is,but it rides good and feels okay.
still,i would have bought one of the awd chargers instead if it was me.

dadsbee-s challenger up there looks badass too,id so drive the wheels off that.
( ps,how heavy is that car? )

I've never read the specs Rob, I think it's a 4200 lb car. V6 only because the 8's were trashing the drive line apparently in the Chargers. All I know is this thing will out run my '69 Bee in the 1/4 without skipping a beat!

Yep - We had a couple V8 AWD Chargers.... column shift and all our Code 3 stuff where the console would normally go - been on the look out for a former LEO vehicle with the column shift
