I know, it's about a car, but I am the Scootin' Fool, and I do mention scooters.  It also regards fuel economy which is important to scooterists. |

Cool little car!
I've always liked Dodges and was happy to see the "Dart" marque revived. They look like swell cars, about the size of my old Honda Accord. A while back I met a guy at Wally World with one that I figured must be a "tuner" car. Had exotic rims and tires about a foot wide and all fitting neatly under the sheetmetal... Two giant coffee-can pipes exiting the rear and a full roll-cage inside. Well, the guy said it's FACTORY... At least "dealer-built" optioned: supposed to be a police-optioned car for Texas, and available to the public if you pony-up about $35K... Supposed to have some kind of Star Wars motor pushing near to a thousand ponies (I'm impressed...) and all-out suspension, brakes, etc. I could see a PAIR of 4-piston calipers on about a 19" carbon disc on the front wheel... I do buy the police-option story... It had twin spotlights and a shotgun rack built into the console... with the guy's personal AR-15 locked in it. Sweet! One thing: most ANY car (or bike) purpose-built in Texas for police interceptor duty will find its way to the over-the-counter dealers stores... right down to the "muffler-delete" option. All-in-all, a nifty little 4-door grocery getter that will probably do 0-60 in 3 seconds and do something around 200 top-end! Old sixties' sedan with fins, or the new one like yours, I still like the Dart!  Drive safe...Leo in Texas

I own a 07 Texas P-71 Interceptor and its a Floater at 115mph or so, Solidly planted to 100mph, can take your hands off the wheel. maybe 145mph top end at best. It floats like a 70's muscle car and I won't do it.

Be interesting to see what Petty's garage will do with the new/old Demon.
