I think the heavy duty reinforced subframe should alone add over 50 pounds no? And with those 18" brakes, the wheels wont even fit, so the car wont even move. Good job, Ford (just kidding).

I'm a fleet parts guy myself. All of our patrol units are Tahoes, though.

We stared using Tahoes in 05, but our fleet right now consists of Tahoes, Crown Vics (up to 2006) and Impalas.

Our detectives run Impalas. No more Crown Vics here. I keep hoping we'll get a Charger soon, but I doubt it's going to happen. City is only 14 sq. miles, so there's really no need for one. Tahoes are just so hard on tires (6k miles) and brakes (18k miles).

I'd buy one in a heartbeat, or get a SHO and swap the chrome and alloys for the police-spec goodness.

the sheriffs in my county has been given the task now of patrolling the major artery of long island, which is the Long Island Expressway and also Sunrise Highway. they always had crown vics but now they are slowly replacing them with the chargers. those cars look badass and boy those fuckers can move. i was driving down the LIE and there was a sheriff in the middle turn arounds used only by police and he pulled out to go after somebody in front of me. i didnt expect his ass to pull out and get that heavy bitch moving like he did, they got some power in them.
if you hate american garbage so much why don't you leave the U.S. and never come back? ...
Cmon now, I like my Volkswagen but let's not get ignorant here. Plus, Ford is improving immensely as of lately. Give credit where credit is due. Not to mention, in todays growing globalization, a automobile's country origin is meaning less and less.
I think Carbon Motors got it wrong in the sense that without a mass produced car to remain profitable a police-only automobile venture is extremely risky and (if they ever begin production) will only result in bankruptcy.
