My dad was telling me about some officers in Philly who have been going to training in order to drive the V8 chargers. He told me it was a trip listening to them because the car scares them because of how fast it is.
Good article though, but it's not something I usually think about. If the Crown Vic gets the job done and it's cheap, go for it. As for rear seat space, ummmm... WHO THE FCUK CARES!?!? If you're being tossed in the back of a patrol car, there's a reason for it... and you don't deserve to be comfortable. Oh wait, I'm sorry Mr Criminal, let us call to see if we have the Maybach, 760Li, S550, or Rolls Royce available to haul your ass to jail. After all, we want you to have the most amount of space in the back seat
