We drive the 2014 HEMI Dodge Police Pursuit Charger & test it from 0-60 MPH (again)

( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2014 HEMI Dodge Police Pursuit Charger is one badass looking cop car. You certainly don't want to see this police car in your rear view mirror. Last year we got to ride in the Dodge Police Pursuit Charger at Chrysler's Proving Grounds in Michigan. This year Nathan and Roman got behind the wheel of the 2014 HEMI Dodge Police Pursuit Charger and played cops and robbers. In another fun and informative TFLcar video we not only drive the new Charger Pursuit but we test it from 0-60 MPH at sea level to see if the HEMI gas what it takes to catch up with the bad guys.

[@ivanlowjones]

I was a State Trooper for 22 years and I still don't understand the public's fascination with driving a police car and playing with the lights and siren. The thrill wears off rather quickly, believe me.

[@dominicanoelcaye]

Same here I guess its probably when people move out the way and also the sound but people who never been Ina one would never know because once that light and siren goes on someone's life is on the line its no game or joke serious business

[@dominicanoelcaye]

Maybe you should know your rights and they jus leave you alone lol I know mines n when I show em I know em they avoid me haha

[@dominicanoelcaye]

Lol know your rights and your fine

[@ivanlowjones]

Mohammad Ideis I'm surprised you can find the time to disparage all law enforcement, since kneeling east to Mecca 5 times a day must take up so much of your time. That and swearing jihad against all us infidels.

[@ivanlowjones]

Mohammad Ideis Hopefully the third world medical degree will probably qualify you as a janitor in a US hospital. Better work on your bedside manor before you grab that bed pan and mop.

[@DontDodgeItChargeIt]

I believe the guy in the front knew more about the car than the guy sitting in the back did smh.

[@MrNotorius5500]

In every car video, there's always that group of people who just love to hate.

[@noho_hank7627]

5:39 that slide. lol

[@eitan71]

i am SO in love with the Dodge Charger !!!

[@onfin3al6]

I was in Kuwait,doing 130 in my 01 Durango. A police car pulled in behind me way to easy with lights. I thought I was going to jail,but,his buddy in another police Charger went around us at an easy 160 or better. The car behind me pulled over and the race was on. They both left me like I was changing oil. With distinctive whine of a supercharger. I got some pic's. They thought I was nuts.

[@onfin3al6]

Hey, when you got 200 MPH camels,you need something fast to catch them

[@minnsminns]

American police cars are badass as hell. All we have yellow and blue Volvo estates, fast-ish but nothing impressive.

[@Guitargeek4242]

Where's that?

[@ItsLy1e]

Guess you haven't seen Euro Supercar Police cars haha.

[@Guitargeek4242]

Lyle Hudson I have. I've heard that they can about match crown vics, and there's nothing fancy about those.

[@cmp2nite2]

volvos tuned right are impressive volvos are impressive cars period. But maybe not that type

[@ItsLy1e]

The Italian Lambo Police car can just about match a Vic? Or maybe the BMW or Audi Police cars can just about match a Vic? That sound right to you.

[@randy109]

In the academy, 36 years ago we drove worn out '73 Satellites with 318 V8's. Beefed up suspension, transmission and brakes does make a difference. When you are a 22 year old kid I must admit it was fun to tear around in a black & white learning how to recover from 50 mph "spins". Oh, to be young again...

[@hatebreed79]

a lot of magazines are paid advertisements. if u subscribe to as many as i do, most reviews are warmed over press releases. they make it seem they take 3 months per car but if they even step foot in one, it is for a few min. in a prep'd car. tflc is honest. these are the numbers they are able to achieve. they tell u the numbers and stats the company gives them and then tell u how it really is. please keep up the good work!

[@UnblockedOne2]

My 2014 AWD Charger RT does 0-60 in 5.4 seconds, with AWD engaged. Did the 1/8 mile 9.231 @ 82 mph

[@TigerFA]

a charger with AWD??? from which planet you are?

[@A42yearoldARAB]

Tina Lucka ask yourself that because i own one as well. stop by the dealer and ask to see one they just dont think people want awd in that car for the extra price.

[@jutde]

I bought a 2014 Pursuit AWD a month ago and I absolutely love it! It’s friggin awesome in Minnesota snow, and I get consistent 7 second 0-60’s ON DIRT! And I love the stealthy exhaust. It’s quieter than my buddies Grand Caravan at idle, but man you know it’s a Hemi when you mash the throttle! Plus, enough room in the back seat for 3 car seats. IMO it’s THE muscle car for the modern era.

[@tylerallen497]

Justin DeHetre So you have had good luck in the snow with the AWD Charger? I’m from WI and right now I have a 2011 CVPI and obviously it’s not the best in the snow lol. But I’m in debating on if I should get a Charger or Explorer.

[@DaveConrad3234]

Dan Murphy! You got served!!!

[@GlassTopRX7]

I love all the 0-60 hate on these guys. It's a real world test and there are tons of reviews giving you their best run under ideal conditions. I for one think it's useful information.

[@basslife9078]

Dodge Charger....Allowing cops to get to Krispy Cream before the HOT sign goes off

[@ShadowRaptor8]

Definitely not the fastest or best car you guys have tested, but I've never seen Nathan so happy lol.

[@aiPriori]

You're correct, since 1997 U.S. police have mainly been using Crown Victorias (RWD), and before that the Caprice and other models were RWD. I think what he was implying is out of the new generation police vehicles (Dodge Charger, Ford Interceptor, and Chevy Caprice), only the Charger is RWD.

[@bradbowman5022]

The program manager for the Police Pursuit program doesn't know the torque #s for the Charger Pursuit?? Has he been fired yet? WOW!

[@bradbowman5022]

Exactly you are a dishwasher so you have no idea why he should know these things... Its his job to know those things.

[@BigDirtyBasterd]

Congratulations! You get 1 Internet! Don't spend it all in one place now!! :)

[@randy109]

In our rural county in Central California there are usually 2-3 city cop cars and 2-3 Sheriff's cars patrolling the graveyard shift (midnight to 9 a.m.). Even a very fast car will seldom get away once a pursuit begins because no car on Earth is faster than a "Motorola". Proper use of your Radio can always get cars in position to use spike strips or a basic Roadblock. In the last few years there is a plethora of real fast cars on our streets and highways. A couple of old "Crown Vics" can catch an 07 Corvette or Ferrari so if you see lights in your rearviews just go ahead and pull over. It will spare you a VERY expensive ticket, not to mention the Towing and Impound fees. Good old Cops and Robbers isn't so pretty in real life.

[@DavidBoy333]

I love this Channel!!! I personally think that the v8 in this car is kinda weak though. 6 seconds to 60 in good conditions.... I mean the Germans and the Japanese can use a much smaller engine to achieve that. Dont argue that this car is heavy. I didnt even mention the Audis and Benz. Not even the GTR

[@rickyguti]

Nathan's smile when doing the 0 - 60 PRICELESS

[@wsc31]

Driving a marked unit can be a hoot but it can also slow you down. On a two lane road any car ahead of you will do the speed limit, or a little less, and until you get to a passing zone you're stuck. Use of the lights/siren is limited to emergencies and inappropriate use can result in department issued penalties. Thanks for the memories.

[@techkid011]

glad to see more and more police chargers. more warranty work for me!!!!!!

[@billjenkins687]

Uninformed Dodge representative. Ouch. I drive VICS. Will I fall in love with the charger if I buy one?

[@_Glukhar_]

Bill Jenkins I own both and yes is an amazing car cast iron block long life 5.7 and the pursuits come also awd, it's an amazing car I also have the 392 I'm looking for the hellcat now but my daily drivers are 2005 police interceptor and the charger police interceptor 2012

[@Trekologist]

Police packages add quite a bit of weight, even more to a fairly hefty sedan like the Charger. And the old Merc 5 speed that's in that thing doesn't have the most aggressive gearing in the world, and the standard R/T, same engine and transmission is marked at around 5.5 0-60.

[@zombiekiller1997]

The HEMI is a muscle car engine which means its not going be the fastest off the line but once your little "v6" gets past 75 its going start losing a lot of power while the HEMI is still running hot still having 2 whole gears to go before it starts slowing down. Most pursuits end up going 80 mph so a charger will keep up and will keep running strong till it prob hits 140.

[@shade98765]

I bought an 08 a few years ago, have had a lot of fun with it, quick as hell. My wife gets pulled over in it all the time...because of the window tent, had to get her out of it, its a Georgia State Patrol persuit unit.

[@Omar.F87]

The official numbers of the new Hemi Charger R/T is around 5.2 or 5.3sec to hit 60mph and 13.7sec @ 103.7mph at the quarter mile .. anyway great review guys like always

[@TFLcar]

Sorry Dan, everyone makes a mistakes...but not everyone has to hate. Here's the secret to how we got 100,000 subscribers. We love cars and we have a passion for them that goes beyond reading the car's sticker on camera. We always try to inform and entertain. 100,000 subs means we're doing something right. Thanks for the comment.

[@mukarram07]

shows you who is doing the real work and who has been slacking off!

[@UCompleteCok]

You two, I think, have one of the best jobs in the world.

[@CEDPME1]

What a cool review! I would have loved to drive that sweet car. It looks mean! Great video guys, keep up the good work.

[@manueljagersberger119]

Thank you guys for this great video! It's really nice to see some real police cars! In austria we only have VW Tourans :-(

[@vettefreak89]

I am so jealous of Nathan and Roman right now. Would be like a kid going on a field trip to the police station. Only as an adult.

[@johnnypowell859]

Ralph Gilles is not the CEO of Dodge. He is the President and CEO of SRT and Senior Vice of Design for Chrysler Group.

[@digitaltouch35]

That looked like a lot of fun. Nice car.

[@ayryz1]

Love the car! The er, um.. "perp" didnt know enough to be in the video, lol. My 2000 Chrysler 300M 3.5 V6 with 196,000 on it, a full tank and my 226 lbs aboard runs 0-60 in 7.65 @ 1000ft elevation 81°. Hmm... Maybe the Charger needs to be loosened up? Luv you guys thanks for another great vid!

[@Godsaccount]

Hey guys as usual you made a good one.

[@itspersonal5474]

i give props to dodge for being the only one to have a 4 door muscle car with rear wheel drive keep it up

[@HansBelphegor]

Love mine, got a 6.4 to replace the 5.7 when it goes

[@jim7233]

Crown Vic may not be as fast, but it'll outlast 3 of these things. Best car ever to come out of Detroit.

[@DariusHammond]

3 people and elevation equates to the slow 0-60 guys. Plus we don't even know about the liquid gas weight (full tank-quarter tank) or other factors (things in the trunk, all the electronics, etc.).

[@rebarbadora]

This is how a police man in 'mérica thinks. "Ah, lets scare them...look how fast they clear the way...yeah, we have the power)

[@VL1975]

it's always some dumb left wing anti cop fuck in the crowd...

[@khoward6624]

VL123 and theres always that pompous self righteous ass thats better than everyone else.

[@VL1975]

K Howard yes...that explains leftists. LOL

[@campanelli8]

I smell a hater!

[@calripson]

I have a 2012 police package Charger that runs 0-60 in 5.7 seconds all day. Of course, it has a custom exhaust system with JBA headers/Solo midpipes, and a Corsa catback. After the Stage II HHP heads/cam or supercharger it should run 0-60 in around 4.5 seconds. Suspension, braking, and steering is just like a Mercedes because those components are Mercedes designs (thank you Mercedes for buying/selling Chrysler).

[@letsgowarriors30]

I like the new intro! Keep up the great videos :)

[@MYTOYMAKERZ]

Nice video & they are getting better all the time as long as you keep your personal opinions out because most like facts. Fact is I am driving a 2013 with all wheel drive-the 5.7 Hemi with the 8 speed auto transfer. I work for one of our Government Agencies along our SW borders where we have issues with sand so our unmarked cars have a bit wider tires. For those yakking about speed try tomout run my radio or one of our choppers-speed kills when it's not needed.

[@abashal]

There are so many factors to consider when designing a vehicle that must be able to perform, idle at length, pit maneuver, chase, handle in the snow, mud, highway, back roads, durability, comfort, etc. 0-60 times are only a fraction of importance; there's always a faster vehicle. Try running a mustang at 70+ in the snow; The key with these tests are Best all around

[@MinecraftAventures]

5 speed ? I taught that only the crown vic was using an old fashion style 5 speed , The Ford interceptor is a lot better for police usage then the hemi, But I have to say that the sounds of that hemi is just bad ass !

[@ammosimplycosts2much]

The crown vics go as fast, but their 0-60 is a tad slower for example. Hopefully the new fords will be as tough, but I have my doubts about the V6.

[@Plenion]

I wanna see the car !!!! Not then talking OMG !!!!

[@ariip]

Funny, the ford interceptor with the ecoboost v6 does 0-60 in 5.8. Better fuel mileage which is a savings on fuel. Several large testing locations including la say that 4 wheel drive is superior to rear wheel or front wheel and the ford is available in 4 wheel drive. Also the cockpits are designed with siren controls etc on the steering wheel and the seats and seatbelts have been redesigned to accommodate the gun, clothing etc. They widened the rear doors for perp egress, ingress etc. Customized

[@CrzyMav]

Tthi reminds me of Chris Farley when they were high on nitrous oxide.

[@sinnders97]

yup that wouldn't catch anyone in a camaro SS/ mustang GT why so slow 0-60

[@abeisinsane]

Oh for a second I thought it was srt haha

[@windycitywarrior71]

sad the "program director" didnt know torque its 390 fyi!

[@cakeadventure8412]

Wow the inside of this car looks great, I totally didn't come here to ACTUALLY SEE THE CAR PERFORM.

[@Gsmooth10455]

Like two little kids playing with that siren.

[@Scottish_Viking84]

First, you are comparing a full size car to little shoe boxes; Second; these cars corner just fine, and with the 8spd the downshifting in turns is perfect...

[@vitara911]

Nathan: "Full stomach" :D

[@sarahacullen]

When a local county got there new "chargers" I made a mistake by driving too fast on the highway and it is the only time I have run from a police officer. What a gutless pos when the new "daytonas" came out and all the mortaged to death idiots brought them out to the track my bone stock 93 trans am $2500 was beating these $40k heavy weights by good old power/weight ratio almost a full second. Don't taint the name of muscle cars with power sedans give them their own glory and their own name let this just be a cool car not a failed remake of a legend... is it a Fiat Charger now?

[@waffles23456]

stock gen 4 lt1s-ls1 and older mustangs can hang with all the new ponies no problem. lol its sad they all weigh 3600 to i think 4000+ lol the new ones may have better comfort and mileage but who buys ponies for that? lol

[@DontDodgeItChargeIt]

Most cops are running 3.6L v6....don't be fooled. 4,000 lb sedan and they'll steal run cars down.

[@Bizzair1990]

yup, I guess they should just use Accords, or Corrolas, man they are so dependable.

[@boldersdublin]

Yes , you are right sir !

[@Emporioforlife]

My local police station has these new ones they look cool until there in your rear view mirror

[@J30A4V6er]

the police package weighs quite a bit more than the stock charger. plus 3 people in the car and DA.

[@Trekologist]

8 speed ZF needs to be center mounted? I guess someone forgot to tell the Ram 1500 with the ZF that...

[@onfin3al6]

Should have no problem with a BRUSH GUARD just in case you should ever want to go off roading in your driveway. Spot lights on the door post should be no problem as well. As for the light bar don't waste your money.

[@MURRAYsaysHI]

Let's see how they get around in the winter

[@hdai007]

they are like little kids excited about a new toy :)

[@5274100]

They need the srt8, that's the top of the line Charger. 0-60mph in about 4.5 seconds.

[@CatcherOfBass]

This is one reason i want to become a state trooper.

[@bneyens]

Cool video! Looked like fun.

[@danhellerjr]

I wish someone would put this up against the Taurus SHO cop car. I'm pretty sure the Taurus would be superior in every performance category. Especially true in winter driving conditions - it snows occasionally in America.

[@ShooterAK]

when i heard 'Alaska State Troopers' (which is where i am from, Alaska) made me laugh on how they dont know how much all wheel drives we have for the troopers.

[@unmccoy2003]

That's pretty fast?? I used to have a 2.2L Pontiac Sunfire that could've out-run that thing.

[@MrSkyentist]

Get the police sho then call livernois tuning. That would be a scary machine.

[@bmwmsport11]

I wanna buy the Explorer PPV. Those SUVs are cool. Imagine putting white/amber strobe light in those and scaring the crap out of people.

[@almontoya5703]

The Ford Taurus interceptor is a better choice. Lots of power, better fuel economy, and all-wheel-drive(great for winter and off road). The Charger would get stuck in mud, sand, and lose control in winter condition.

[@onefastboi]

Alright nice to know i can still out run the ground units, but radio and helicopters are different stories

[@erichove7936]

Pretty cool.

[@Diehard65]

I knew he was CEO of the SRT div, etc but I didn't want to confuse people. I just wanted to mention his name. BTW I believe this car is rated at 395 foot lbs of torque.

[@JxDxGx44]

they're keeping the numbers secret, lmao.

[@matrox]

LOL....look how the guy in the back slides to the right when the car turns.

[@BigDirtyBasterd]

Have you ever watch the police chase people? All you gotta do is plant a tree and its like a magnet to people. :)

[@youngdre04]

if this is still in Colorado thats a pretty good 0-60 given the conditions and circumstances

[@goldenjimbo007]

I thought the 2014s were being equipped with the 8 speed finally on the R/Ts? Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm certain it's in the works and maybe it got pushed back.

[@xxCOKERxxPWNxx]

The true “cop” set up would be even slower than that with all the specialties like a rear seat cage, laptop and mount in the front, and all of the gear in the trunk (weapons, armor, general gear etc)- probably about the same weight as the 2 extra people currently in the car so maybe not technically slower but probably about the same.

[@oneviperbite]

I own a first gen LX Dodge Charger with the 340 HP HEMI. With a full tank of gas, and 5 people in the car, I can still run a high 6 0-60. And that's with a car that has 30 less HP and 50 less torque.

[@just_a5.7]

My 2019 rt did 5.5 with 3 people

[@sumitpaul5576]

lol they are partying day and night with these cars lol

[@mbjedigorilla3021]

Um yeah Zeph you driving a Crotch rocket of course its going to be faster TROLLLLLLLLL!

[@contractki11er]

Because bigger is better... But all jokes aside having a bigger vehicle allows the cops to be more versatile when it comes to stopping the baddies.

[@cbdetroitautoshow]

These are great for the engine and speed but they fall apart so easily. Like the door and the door panels have a tendency to fall off.

[@GoingOffGrid101]

lol my jeep commander with the 5.7L has done 0-60 in under 7 sec lmao.

[@warlock54]

Lmao they dont care about the statistics they just having to much fun driving it lol

[@antionwindow]

I thought so too, but I think Dodge realized that 8-gears are useless especially in a automatic with lots of torque and hp. I have a 68 Impala with only a 3-speed auto but my car get busy with 500hp!
