2004 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor

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.*&nbsp; 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.
Spoke with a friend at the bar tonight...


For those of you who don't know, when you become a State Trooper, the state gives you a take home car, with your choice of options.

There is a trooper that does 35 E area between 494 and HWY 36, and everything near there. He drives a Tan Ford Taurus, unmarked.

It's a special variant with the 4.6L V8. The guy is a motor head, and knows a lil sum sumthin about cars. Thus, a supercharged patrol car.

The stop lights (red/blue) are mounted on the rear of the fold down sun visor on the passenger side, and are activated by just flipping the visor down. The car is otherwise completely stock looking.

This is a new car, and he's fairly new to the game.

So watch out southeast metro. [/b][/quote]
NICE! keep them coming!
