I bought a 2013 Dodge Charger Pursuit model with the Hemi Nov 1st and plan to use the car as my daily driver(I'm retired so not a lot of daily driving) and for use as a casual motorsports fun car in drag racing, autocross, trackday, speed run on airstrips(whatever they are called) and open road race like Silver state challenge if I can find any on this side of the country.

I don't expect the car to be fast or competitive in any area and just want to have fun, participate in more events than I can take my Exocet to since it has to be trailered. I don't want to gut the car or make it less enjoyable for long highway drives since that is what will likely be common to attend these events. In that light it has to stay reliable.

With the use outlined I haven't decided on a good project car name. I have thought about Swiss Army Car, Radar Taxi, Silver bullet, The battleship and some other names but thought I would see what the crazy minds of GRM could come up with. Throw your ideas out here. Heres a pic of the car after a wash.

BTW it will have the dog dish hubcaps once I find a set and lugs for a reasonable price but may use some circle track steel wheels for motorsports use to keep the police car look.

Nice car.

If it were mine, I would call it "the Charger".

Give a LEO black and white paint job and call it "Elwood".

The Charger is good enough for ours. Cars name themselves over time

If it were mine, I would name it Danno. That way when I was about to drop the hammer I could say, "Let's book it Danno."

Throw some Borlas on it and call it Farva. Big, loud, and LEO-related.

How about a name/rank for the car like Sargent, Lieutenant or Commissioner.

LEO, at least until it earns a more fitting name.

The Stale Doughnut.

Not sure of any open road races east of the Mississippi. Sand Hills Challenge in Nebraska is a bit closer than Nevada. Both are fun.

Between the color and the front end styling, I like "Sharknado."

On the rear you should add a small sticker with the words To Punish and Enslave.
Placed on the rear so it can be seen by those you pass on the track.
