[SlickDizzy]

Here in Wisconsin, I see:

Ford Crown Victoria
Dodge Caravan Sport
Chevrolet Camaro SS
Harley Davidson something-or-others (don't really care for Harleys)

And I saw a '32 Ford street rod cop car at a car show. It's the guy's personal vehicle but it has all the required equipment and is an active cop car when it needs to be.

[5vz-fe]

Wow TT, Switzerland sure does have alot of different kinds of police cars.
In Toronto, all u see is pretty much Chevy Impalas.

[Tomerville]

Most people know how poor the american police cars are; Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors. They have V10, and weight a couple of tons. There are Chevrolet Impalas and Chevroley Camaros. There are also a few Corvette Police cars, but mostly body-rollin Crown Vicks.

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

In sweden there must be at least the Volvo V70, the S60, the Saab S-3, and the Saab S-5 as well....and im sure that there are currently some XC90 on the road as well

[T-Bird]

Umm sorry to burst your bubble but the Crown Victorias have V8's not V10's and they aren't exactly the slowest cars and they have heavily modified suspensions and brakes with special tires aswell. And there are alot of Mustangs out there aswell and some of them were built by Roush but are still stock looking. You see a Hummer every once in a while too. Sadly the Impala's are piles of shit with their front wheel drive and V6's

I think that the Crown Victoria has almost the same engine as the Mustang....

4.6 V8.....of course the Mustang has a little more HP....

[T-Bird]

actually the Crown Victoria with the police package actually makes a bit more HP than the Mustang GT and it is the exact same engine the engine is used in a bitch load of FOMOCO cars.

[ahmedgiyab]

Do you know any Bhp data about the US Caprice police cars....I heard that their engines

are a bit modified.... :roll:

[T-Bird]

they don't make the Caprice in the states anymore

[ahmedgiyab]

they don't make the Caprice in the states anymore


I mean the Caprice (1991-1998).... :)

http://images3.fotki.com/v27/photos/4/42477/128641/norton04-vi.jpg

Something like this.... :wink:

[T-Bird]

well that is probably more moddified than normal but I do know they had slightly moddified LT1's in the same way the Crown is mostly Computer changes and slight intake exhaust changes. and of course the handling and tire changes.

[ahmedgiyab]

I heard this about a 5.0 V8 engine which was placed in the first series of this

model.... :roll:

Thanx for the info! :)

[T-Bird]

they had a 5.0 in the standard Caprice and then there was the 9C1 police package that used the 5.7 LT1 engine but before the body style you showed in the pic they all had 5.0's there was the Impala SS with the same 5.7 sold for civilian use and now a lot of people are buying old retired 9C1 Caprice's and moddifying the hell out of them and I've seen a couple with new LS6 motors in them and quite a few of the normal C5 engines.

[T-Bird]

I found a bitch load of pics of cop cars mostly from Illinois but some others

I am pretty sure its a Firebird or a Camaro TT

[BADMIHAI]

TT: That is a police car indeed. To me it looks like a Chrysler Intrepid:

It was a pure coincidence that the first car for "chrysler intrepid" on Google Images was this police one. :wink:

...and the second one was this:

[sunsetncars]

I've seen the normal police cars in the area:

camaros,
crown victorias,
impalas,
avlanches...

and so on but i have also seen a Mercedes g500 (2000 - or newer) and my friend told me that the police in the area "possibly" also have a dodge viper, and a ferrari f355. No pics though! This is in vancouver,Bc canada... can anyone verify this?

[ARMAN]

We have here Skoda Felicia, Oktavia, 120(!!! 15 years old), maybe few Octavia RS.

[fabro_s]

Chevy Impalas, Silverados,Undercovered Crown Victorias, and impalas, Malibus....

[cooperluke]

Here in Portugal, the city police cars are quite normal. Renaults Megane, Fiats...

For the highway, we have a few Toyotas, Ford Focus, and for the quick guys... BMW 330Cd and Subaru Prodrives. :)

I have a (lucky) friend of mine that is a Policeman, and drives the prodrive every day...

[ahmedgiyab]

Police cars should be slower than the average cars that ppl drive on the roads...... :lol:
