sagnat Champion Author Riverside Posts:1,169 Points:311,185 Joined:Jun 2012	Message Posted: Mar 6, 2013 4:24:19 AM Ignore sagnat Report Abuse Crown Vic was the perennial favorite but I quickly learned to like the Charger. Stinking Charger is wicked scary fast and handles like it is on rails. Interior is a little tight once you have all your bat gear on but it has a "cockpit" feel to it.

traffic cop Champion Author Boston Posts:1,254 Points:538,965 Joined:Oct 2004	Message Posted: Jan 29, 2013 7:06:29 AM Ignore traffic cop Report Abuse DasAuto92-- The light bar is aftermarket, chosen by the agency's command (and purchasing department, I guess). Then it's installed. There are all sorts of lightbar configurations from various manufacturers. So what's impressing you is not Chrysler/Dodge,but the agency's selection. Here's hoping you don't "enjoy" them as you're being pulled over!

traffic cop Champion Author Boston Posts:1,254 Points:538,965 Joined:Oct 2004	Message Posted: Jan 27, 2013 7:48:27 PM Ignore traffic cop Report Abuse dasauto92 -- good points. They're always cramming more equipment in. You also need a trunk, especially rural deputies and state troopers, for more gear. And Boston puts a hard partition between the seats (to contain combative prisoners). That takes up more room. Crown Vic, all the way.

DasAuto92 Champion Author Montreal Posts:2,451 Points:176,435 Joined:Apr 2010	Message Posted: Jan 26, 2013 1:06:40 AM Ignore DasAuto92 Report Abuse I read an article about the Crown Vic vs Charger.The Crown Vic was the choice.For one and i guess traffic cop can attest to this is that the Vic gives more room up front. The charger is not a wide vehicle and with the comp table and light box everything is cramped up.So your driving solo. Having owned a Crown Vic Police Interceptor, they are fast.I was able to spin the tires (posi) from a stand still and also when it shifted gears.

traffic cop Champion Author Boston Posts:1,254 Points:538,965 Joined:Oct 2004	Message Posted: Jan 25, 2013 8:55:51 PM Ignore traffic cop Report Abuse I'll stick with the Crown Vic. Boston is keeping them for a while yet. We once had a Corvette, painted in blue and white,with BPD insignia, blue lights, the works. It was from a drug confiscation situation, and used for publicity. Lots of fun. I've seen an Indiana trooper in an unmarked Mustang (concealed lights).
