walkerda Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I was working up in Detroit the past 3 weeks and saw a few around the Livonia area, don't remember if they were State Police or local though. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I heard the V6 version of the Charger police car can accelerate near as good as the V8 Crown Vic, with a higher top speed. Is that true???? Can't imagine a full sized cop car with a V6, I'm used to V8s!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 ...We have just under 4k on it and one officer said the brakes are pulsing ... Not going to be going very fast until they get that issue squared away. Certainly looks menacing though. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"IF" Oink Oink too that!!!! Yeah ... Rumor has it that the Crown Vic is going bye bye. I don't know what Ford will replace it with. The impala's do have more "Leg Room" than the Vic. I believe it to be the Cage that they put in. The vic's cage was only about 6-8" from the rear seat, due to the seat position. The Impala's have about 12-14", and it seems that they are made out of thinner metal than the old school vic cages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Since the "Way Forward" announcement, we recognize there has been extensive speculation regarding the future of many Ford products, including the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. The purpose of this letter is to clarify Ford's position on CVPI and ensure you have accurate information. The bottom line: • Ford Motor Company is committed to the law enforcement community. • Ford Motor Company will continue to produce the CVPI well into the future." The letter is on their website too. Looks like the CV is still with us for at least another year since they have the 07's on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdogx Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I love it are city barley has the money to keep operational, but yet the state seems to think it's a good idea to use my tax dollars to give new cars which i'm sorry they do not need to the state police. Nice thanks state of mass, while you cut even more police off are city's force not to mention they have been working without a contract i believe for years now, it will be nice to know that a few select officers will be having it nice in there new chargers!Chargers or cutting the police force so we can have more crack and heroin dealers on the corners, yup this is the standard for are state complete stupidity.

zippy Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 It should make for a decent cruiser as long as they can keep them on the road. The Crown Vic is an old design and not very quick, but they do take a pretty good beating and keep going. Being the main taxi and police vehicle all of those years helps with quality control.

You ever notice that we will beat you with batons, spray you with OC/Mace, wrestle you to the ground with armbar manuvers and crank on the cuffs, pick you up and slam you onto the cruiser, ... but when we put you into the back of the car, it is like "Watch your head"!!! I heard a comiedian say that once and nearly pissed myself laughing ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a comiedian say that once and nearly pissed myself laughing ... Woah looks like I hit a raw nerve there Seriously, I don't think I could do that - I'm afraid in the moment I'd be one of the poor schmucks exposed on the Rodney King tape... Mr. P. edit - I already know I'd probably be like "You hit your head on my cruiser and I'm gonna jerk you out onto the ground for another ass-beating". I've got too much Cartman in me, I don't tolerate truly stupid people all that well.
