Bad Ass Police Car Set For Production -

Agreed on many points.

The Crown Vics are compete junk.

The Dodge Chargers are better, but not great.

It is the same mindset that leaves some departments issuing their officers 9mm handguns with no alternative, while the criminals are carrying .45s and better. Why would you allow your cops to be "out-gunned"? Similarly, why wouldn't you have them driving the best car available?

I just don't under stand how those poor beat cops survive in the junk they give them.

Other then the high way troopers they had camaros but not as cool as mine

Honestly this might be a GREAT market to go into, being big 3 are shaken up and the only reason they kept using the hunks they have is buy american, well sorry but what is offered is rubbish. Crown Vic? Horrid, old peoples car at best. oh boy 3:55 out back and a big battery now it's a cop car ICK! Dodge Charger? What a piss poor chassis, riding in a car that shares that chassis with less then 19k miles on it was BY FAR the scariest in my life, simple lane changes you could feel the subframe bushings horrid horrid. Don't even start me on the HEMI issue, but dear dodge if you plan on ripping someone off, at least don't make your product suck.
The impala? Best out of them but still, it's about as impressive as a washing machine, no matter how good it is, it's still a washing machine, drives like one as well.

These guys are out risking their necks daily and we throw those things at them? They should have a car to keep up with the times give them more tools to work with and a safer and more cozy life since a lot of cops are in them 10+ hours a day.

TD might be the wave of the future so I am pretty into seeing someone offer a diesel now with 6+spd autos milage and power aren't as much a trade off like it used to be, so a low revver like a diesel can really still have ummph and power.

That's my 3 cents on the matter.

You have some really good points! I have driven all three, and had the "luxury" of drinving the Caprice Classic before the last one died. Up to this point, my Charger has been the most comfortable, and best handling.

That is a sweet prototype. I'm not holding my breath though!!

AGREED!!!! We carry .40s, but it took the LA bank job for us to have AR15s in our trunks!

It's sadly always about money and liability. In NYC we have 9mm's and are going up against mac 10's and were driving 6 cylinder impalas, a god damn grandma car with the computer mounted so poorly that if you take a side impact colision on the passenger door you will be crippled.
