If we need a reality check, get of my ex-M3 and into svx and it feels liek limo. and the same thing happened in the X with tire scrub through the same ramps I took the M through at 20 clicks faster. X is a great car though.
And why don't the fuzz use Mark 8 drivelines? 280-290 stock crank ponies, IRS, Ferrari sourced alum block, handles ALMOST as well as the X with some tire/wheels & a solid rear sway bar. Embarasses any caprice, esp. SS's. |

Maybe a stock caprice/SS but not ANY caprice. I aparticipated in the 3rd annual Southern Superheavy Shootout, that included lincoln Mark 8's, crown vic's, mercury marauders, thunderbirds and Impala's. I have seen what they can do, I have seen what my car can do. I am not worried. |

lastly, and most importantly, you can't outrun radio. even if you can tear the doors off the crown vic in your ferrari, you can be damn well sure there's a roadblock being setup down the road.

actually the new impalas use a 3.8L not a 3.3, it is peppy but can't compete with an 8 cyl in torque, acceleration numbers are close to what the vic can put out, but not near the LT1 powered chevy's
Also the new impala's are front drive |

I thought the new ones were still 3.3s, but they had an SS version with the bigger engine? I was wrong once before so it could happen again.

Standard engine is a 3.4l in the base models the LS model comes standard with a 3.8L which is optional on the base. The police package all come with the 3.8L.
There is an impala SS for about 32K that comes with the Supercharged 3.8L, giving it performance about on par with the 94-96 impala SS but it is still smaller and front wheel drive. Police departments are not getting the supercharged at this point (perhaps for reliability reasons) |
