Look at the intrepid's  :lol: POS cars, went through brakes once a month. The crown vic is the ultimate police interceptor, always was and always will be. If anyone knew how strong the crown vic's are yah would s**t your undies. Also if the crown vic got the 3 valve 300hp 4.6 this thing would be useless, hemi or not. Many of the cops around here love the crown vic's b/c they can go 200000km's and not have to worry about the damn thing falling apart

Crown vic police interceptor's get around 25-26mpg little more or little less, depends on how certain officer's drive them  :D

Thing is that the Intrepid was a FWD car, no FWD car can take the abuse long term that a cop car takes without costing serious coin to keep running (Which is why police detachments love the Vic/loathe the Impala)

I mean running over curbs at speed, high speed chases, sudden deceleration from highway speeds, impacts with suspect vehicles. If the car isn't built to take it, you'll find out real quick :ph34r:

For some reason though i can't fathem the impala seems to be gettin more popular and they have only 200hp and not much of a heavy duty platform. These thing should be better but they will end up costing much more then the vic so i don't think we will see many on the road anytime soon. If some do come out hopefully that they last a little longer
