Very good response, pretty torquey. Reminds me a lot of the Mustang GT. Handling sucks, but it turns on a dime. The car is heavy, but is rated somewhere between 230-250 hp, depending on what your department orders. The thing takes a beating. Top end is ridiculous in these cars. Unless you're doing 130 in the opposite direction, driving a 12 second car....

FORGET ABOUT IT.

This thing would run down a lot that you wouldn't expect.

And the speedometer on the car I looked at, made for the watch commander, tops at 180.
lol thanks for the heads-up...I guess the days of 130mph 'top speed' on police cars are over..
I haven't had time to test drive anything, and any salesperson with a brain wouldn't let me near keys.
