Was the Crown Vic the best Police car that ever existed?

Essentially.

Volvo's are too fucking terrible when it comes to constantly breaking down and maintenance. Parts are up the ass expensive as well.

Caprice's were nice, 5.7 LT1 did beat the Vic in terms of speed but they didn't hold up to the reliability of the 4.6L modular.

Why the fuck do I need to mount the kerb at 45mph?
I'm a UK PC and I have very few/unlikely scenarios when I'd have to mount the pavement at a ridiculous speed. Plus our roads are half as wide.

Why don't officers get trained better?

What made the Vic so robust?
>>
>>16710412
Body on frame construction allowed for body panels to be replaced willy-nilly and lower speed impacts aren't enough to bend or break the frame to total the whole car, simple engineering with the same electronic 4-speed automatic tranny they used for decades and parts-bin construction for most of the car, and an engine that was detuned to hell so it would run longer without issues while still having enough torque to push the car to a hundred.
>>
>>16710392
I drive a 850 dollar p71 and make it my mission to hop traffic islands and speed bumps at 25+ mph. I have absolutely no worry of making too wide u-turns on narrow streets with vertical curbs. It's fun. Only thing I need to worry about is only hitting it at a tangent and biting too much out of the wheels d bending the tierod. Which are 15 dollars at the junkyard. Wheels w/ tire mounted, 40 dollars.
>>
>>16707201
>That's why you see so many on the road still, right?

Yes, you do. Also the Crown Vic we're familiar with was made for like 8 more fucking years than that model of Caprice.
>>
>>16710436
That's fucking awesome... Do any modern sedans still have body on frame?
>>
>>16711079
That doesn't account for the many more aero Panthers(90-97) that I see than B-bodies.

>>16711636
Nope. Panthers were the last ones, and for a number of years before that it was just them and GM's B-body cars (Caprice, Roadmaster, Custom Cruiser).

>>
>>16715343
What does this have to do with police vehicles?

A fat slow poor handling piece of shit is SUCH a good cop car because it can drive through a puddle of mud out in the middle of nowhere at 2mph!!

They are cheap cruisers that dont cause any strain on the budget after initial purchase. Only reason they exist.
As pursuit cars they are fucking pure garbage, old russian vaz cop cars are better for chasing criminals.
>>
>>16707585
Not to mention they're cramped as fuck. My Dad is a cop and wants his old Crown Vic back. Could stretch out and not feel like you're in a cockpit when sitting on the side of the highway for 8 hours.

>Your little holden probably couldn't be beat on by cops for 100k miles, then go serve as a taxi for another 200k either
Umm yes. commodore/falcon taxis with 400,000km+ are common as shit. Just like crown vics.

but muh offroadan whatever

The Chevy Impala/Caprice was a better police car...
>>
>>16705599
The caprices that served before the crown vic's were better.
>>
I like how Ford repeatedly swapped the labeling of the front camber/caster adjustment bolts in their service manual from 1993-2005 because, in practice, you notice BOTH eccentric bolts adjust BOTH camber and caster, and you might as well just loosen them, align the wheel by hand, and then have someone else tighten them again because trying to actually do a one-man front end alignment on a Crown Vic is idiotically complicated.

The '90s Caprice is way easier to deal with.
