March 8, 200818 yr Anyone post this yet? http://www.wired.com/cars/futuretransport/.../16-03/pl_motor not sure... I'm skeptical, looks almost like it's based on the 300C.
March 8, 200818 yr oh boy, sketches, it must be truuuuue! I'm gonna guess that a purpose-built police car won't sell in enough quantity to sell in enough numbers to be produced in enough volume to get costs down enough to get the price down to appeal enough to police fleets to sell in volume to... etc, etc.
March 9, 200818 yr Sounds like an idea I had to build a BOF car off the GMT 360 chassis suited to police duty.
March 9, 200818 yr Author I've been saying that for a while too... a modern B-body with hydroformed rails & other modern advabces would kick Ford's ass so hard their grandkids would feel it! I wish that would happen!

March 10, 200818 yr Author I'm wigth you Camino... unless a lot of parts bin-scrounging was to happen. When I started reading the article I expected it to be LS1 powered or perhaps HEMI powered but inline-6 turbo-diesel? I'm assuming that means it is supposed to have a Cummins under the hood...?
March 10, 200818 yr i think it looks pretty cool. i like that they're trying to make police cars more efficient.
March 13, 200818 yr Author Cop cars are not about efficiency... they're about performance & durability. No one cares that you're getting 28mpg if you can't catch/overtake the bad guy!
