In the old days, I could tell you a lot about the 727 Torqueflite, because it handled the 383, 400, 440, 440 police, and 426 Hemi cars. I know racers think they have the market on beating up a transmission they don't -- I'd turn my attention to what's going on in the new Hemi police cars. You want a brutal existence? Try a police package car. Check around what is being beefed up in the new Charger squads. A good five star dealer might know, but the car is so new, I don't think anyone has had time to find out what is the weak link yet. < Message edited by mnboy -- 7/3/2006 10:01:29 AM > (in reply to topbanna3767) Post #: 2
