Interesting take on officer protection from today's big city threats.

That 75 mph rear collision protection might be useful with pesky tailgater's.

I am a visual person.

Will it leak gasoline like the old one?

The 270 degree Police Perimeter Alert would be handy for the Somolian LE in Michigan.

Can't have PJ wearing, white women sneaking up on one's vehicle.

Just about all of the Crown Vics are gone. Most of the cop cars I see now are SUVs.

Give me the big 70s LTD for a cop car.

When I was in high school one kid was a hot rodder. This was in the 60s. He had a Plymouth Fury with a 383. He had done a lot to it including a 3/4 cam.

One day we learned he had tried outrun a local deputy. To our surprise we learned the deputy had chased him down. Even worse, the deputy had a 327.

Mustangs in south Texas. Real fast ones too.

The Crown Vic's 4.6 was never anything special. THere are plenty of Dodge Charger cop cars still.

Minneapolis, Minnesota. Not Michigan.

I had a '65 Chrysler 300 hardtop with a 383. Great engine. What did your pal use for a carb, that engine is thirsty.

Minnesota.

[Deaf Smith]

Got it.

[yarddog]

Most of them in this area were 351,s. I don’t think thet were as fast as the old cop cars. For instance the Florida Highway Patrol used to drive Thunderbirds, the compact ones with 460 high output engines.

[yarddog]

I am not sure what he had. I have a suspicion that he was not as good a hot rodder as he thought. Some of those 327’s really would run tho.

Certainly not, it's a capital offence in Minnesota - immediate execution upon encounter.
