Was the Crown Vic the best Police car that ever existed?

not even in the same ball park, mate.

Caprice is superior.

>gsheps

For application in America it's definitely one of the best cars.

For the rest of the world not so much...

>Portugal

Not saying Nash Metropolitan isn't the best. dafuq?

That's why you see so many on the road still, right?

>all this unibody garbage

Which one of these can mount a curb at 45mph+ without sustaining damage?

Skunk are yucky. Fuck dogs instead :^)

Report submitted!

called the cops

Or maybe you could teach your police officers to drive.

Why dont you kill yourself instead?

THANK YOU FOR RATING CAR

They look cool but apparently are a nightmare in the long run

Don't really like these since they were one of the very first rounded Volvos.

They're definitely more reliable. I've a lot of Ecoboost cop cars on flat beds.

>tfw my department bought 2017 tauruses and explorers

RIP Vic

Essentially.

Volvo's are too fucking terrible when it comes to constantly breaking down and maintenance. Parts are up the ass expensive as well.

Caprice's were nice, 5.7 LT1 did beat the Vic in terms of speed but they didn't hold up to the reliability of the 4.6L modular.

You have to be 18 to post here, Drumpfkin.

Why the fuck do I need to mount the kerb at 45mph?
I'm a UK PC and I have very few/unlikely scenarios when I'd have to mount the pavement at a ridiculous speed. Plus our roads are half as wide.

Why don't officers get trained better?

>unironic use of "drumpf"

What made the Vic so robust?

Body on frame construction allowed for body panels to be replaced willy-nilly and lower speed impacts aren't enough to bend or break the frame to total the whole car, simple engineering with the same electronic 4-speed automatic tranny they used for decades and parts-bin construction for most of the car, and an engine that was detuned to hell so it would run longer without issues while still having enough torque to push the car to a hundred.

I drive a 850 dollar p71 and make it my mission to hop traffic islands and speed bumps at 25+ mph. I have absolutely no worry of making too wide u-turns on narrow streets with vertical curbs. It's fun. Only thing I need to worry about is only hitting it at a tangent and biting too much out of the wheels d bending the tierod. Which are 15 dollars at the junkyard. Wheels w/ tire mounted, 40 dollars.

>That's why you see so many on the road still, right?

Yes, you do. Also the Crown Vic we're familiar with was made for like 8 more fucking years than that model of Caprice.

That's fucking awesome... Do any modern sedans still have body on frame?

That doesn't account for the many more aero Panthers(90-97) that I see than B-bodies.

you sound like you're driving like a fucking druggie.

BS, you actually see a bunch of White Lightning LTDs rolling around?

I just saw an aero GM yesterday and a aero CV today. I saw 0 B-bodies in the last two days.

Nope. Panthers were the last ones, and for a number of years before that it was just them and GM's B-body cars (Caprice, Roadmaster, Custom Cruiser).

Ford falcon
Holden commodore
Proper chassis and suspension, proper engine... they serve a purpose in a pursuit other than ramming into stationary objects

Youre right
Its unfair to compare such god tier cars to a transportable road block

edgy

>delusional ausfags
Can your commodore do this?

Your little holden probably couldn't be beat on by cops for 100k miles, then go serve as a taxi for another 200k either

What does this have to do with police vehicles?

A fat slow poor handling piece of shit is SUCH a good cop car because it can drive through a puddle of mud out in the middle of nowhere at 2mph!!

They are cheap cruisers that dont cause any strain on the budget after initial purchase. Only reason they exist.
As pursuit cars they are fucking pure garbage, old russian vaz cop cars are better for chasing criminals.

Not to mention they're cramped as fuck. My Dad is a cop and wants his old Crown Vic back. Could stretch out and not feel like you're in a cockpit when sitting on the side of the highway for 8 hours.

>Your little holden probably couldn't be beat on by cops for 100k miles, then go serve as a taxi for another 200k either
Umm yes. commodore/falcon taxis with 400,000km+ are common as shit. Just like crown vics.

but muh offroadan whatever

The Chevy Impala/Caprice was a better police car...

The caprices that served before the crown vic's were better.

I like how Ford repeatedly swapped the labeling of the front camber/caster adjustment bolts in their service manual from 1993-2005 because, in practice, you notice BOTH eccentric bolts adjust BOTH camber and caster, and you might as well just loosen them, align the wheel by hand, and then have someone else tighten them again because trying to actually do a one-man front end alignment on a Crown Vic is idiotically complicated.

The '90s Caprice is way easier to deal with.

it may have looked cooler but was flimsy compared to the vic

>implying those shepherd cops will ever get him

All my cop friends love the explorers

>flimsy
How? You have basically a truck frame with a 350 engine...

>flimsy
no. they're at least just as sturdy. agree with

>Alfa
So it'll break down and refuse to work?

Studebaker or bust
