Just go back to the data.
P71's are as fast as tahoes and get the same gas mileage.
Think about it.
Those test cars are completely kitted out with all of the normal police equipment though. Think cage, lightbar, console, etc. and when you add it all up, it's several hundred pounds heavier than a plain-wrapper p71.
Think about it.
0-60 in 8.3 come on.. really... They're not fast, period. They're like 4 door bedless pickup trucks that give those wtih an inferiority complex a tiny chubby each time someone slows down infront of it or pulls to one side in a panic..
A v6 camry goes 0-60 in ~6 seconds.... (maybe faster depending on how the accelerator sticks).. You'll get smoked by a beige mobile....
Keep them as taxi's... They suck. My cousins are happy they swapped that ford junk for a magnum and a charger. (yes they are cops).. The ford was slow and couldn't handle.
I never said they were fast, just that your post was a bit misleading. And the vast majority of p71 owners have no interest in impersonating a cop, they just like the vehicle for what it is. It's dependable, it's practical, and it's somewhat entertaining to drive.
I think your cousins' are in the minority of their preference of the Charger though. The majority of cops I know are pretty sold on the Crown Vic for use as a patrol car.
You called?
Hey p71.. if i said mine was faster.. well i guess you'd still be right because you said it had to be a surprise and ive just gone and let it out!
