Buffer Magnum in police livery which is preferred over all others because wagon.

Current cop cars made by the big three. Tell me your picks, assume all are being bought after standard police use. Personally, I’d DD the Caprice, track the Charger, burn the Ford.

Chevy Caprice PPV

Dodge Charger Pursuit

Ford Interceptor Sedan(Taurus)

I’m pretty sure the Caprice has MagRide like the SS (sedan), top trim Camaro, CTS-V, and C7. I think that would make it the best track car.

Yeh, burn Taurus.

Reasons? I see the Ford as the weakest of the 3.

DD Charger.

Track the Caprice.

Burn the Interceptor.

And this is coming from a Ford fan.

I really don’t want a Caprice.

The current Taurus is just such a weak/boring/meh vehicle. Bring back the Crown Vic!

Gotcha. I like it because it is basically an upgraded, LWB G8/Commodore with tons of potential. It is very last gen Impala in the looks unfortunately.

I really don’t like how previous-gen-Impala-looking the Caprice’s rear is, but I like the rest.

It really isn’t a bad looking vehicle, just a very bland Impala-esque ass. I might look into one of these when I finish college in a couple years, or a G8 GXP, or an SS if used prices drop. Basically I like 4 doors, RWD, and ass hauling. Sleepers preferred.

Don’t hurt the Magnum, it’s life was short.

Good choice, I rarely see these.

DD the Crown Vic. Burn the rest.

Haha, I was waiting for the Crown Vic to get mentioned. It is the one true cop car.

From cops who’ve experienced B-Body Caprices and Crown Vics, it's an almost unanimous favoring of the Chevy. Apparently the Crown Vic is too small, less durable (holy fuck, how durable is the B-Body?!), and more high maintenance (again!). Idk about the current crop, but I always bet on LS.

Where have all the lightweights gone? > wunderwagen wants a longer roof
05/10/2015 at 23:22

The upgrade to Magna-Ride to the SS wasn’t made until this model year. I am not sure if that was also made to the Caprice.

With that said: DD Magnum, Track Caprice, burn Taurus

The Caprice with the Lt1 was a special treat, but all the other new cars suck ass in comparison to the Crown Vics. Speed is literally the only thing they have on them.

The Lt1 Caprice was great, a ‘96 can still blow a Crown Vic or Impala away today. Sadly, Chevrolet filled the slot of the Lt1 RWD Caprice with a shitty FWD V6 POS known as the Impala. Pretty much giving the game up to Ford. I love them both though, if somebody offered me a P7 1 or an Lt1 9c1 I'd have some trouble choosing.

I knew about the SS getting Magna Ride this year. I vaguely remember reading something about the Cprice getting in a couple months ago. No clue if true, it would make sense in my opinion.

I always have a soft spot for GM vehicles, but yeah this is out of nowhere. I always read panther/Crown Vic beats all others. Wut?

The Taurus is like a couch. I’d rather DD a couch than something less comfortable.

Actually if I remember correctly the Taurus (With the SHO engine) was the best performing cop car during most cop tests. It was awhile ago though, so I'm not 100%. That said, it looks so intimidating. So does the Charger, but not the Caprice.

Your boy, BJR > wunderwagen wants a longer roof

Ask any cop who’s been a cop since the ‘80s. The Crown Vic only really blew up in the late ‘90s-early 2000s. Before then, the preferred cop car was the Caprice. There’s a reason that’s the name they went for with the new one, it has name recognition among the senior guys who have the most sway.

This history lesson pleases me. LS ftw.

i agree with your selection.

I mean, I do really like the SHO but compared to the others it isn’t up to scuff.

I too like Fords in general but the Taurus just isn't up to what the others are.
