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.

I'm done with this. I appologized. I told you the meds are making me do things lately that I'm not happy with.

If you want to replace data with anecdotes, I'm fine with that. I just truly believe this car dosen't belong as an "enthusiast" vehicle cause its poo.

Ohh boy the defend p71's at all cost fan boi hits back hard. Its just really funny that everytime I bring up things like.. Facts or Data that show how really slow and piggish these cars are, some folks don't like the numbers cause they tell you a different story about this "grassroots crap box" How about when your car runs out of gas cause it can't barely make it into the 20's on the highway... huh?

Give in to your hatred. Feeeeel it flow through you.

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!

Seriously though, those things arent THAT slow, even stock. They're pleasant, power-wise. They can certainly be made fast.
