As we all have heard lately Ford has finally introduced the new Ford Police interceptor for the replacement of the Ford Victoria (R.I.P.) This got me thinking about the other police vehicles that our Police department force had and wondered...which is you favorite.
The 2012 Ford Police Interceptor (Taurus)is going to have 265 hp with a 3.5-liter V-6, which will be standard, and will be front wheel drive only. At the same time Ford will offer the EcoBoost twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 which provides 365 hp and will be AWD.
The 2011 Chevy Police Car (Caprice) will have a powerful 6.0L V-8 with fuel-saving Active Fuel Management technology and E85 capability. It is estimated that it will deliver 355hp and 384 lb-ft of torque. The V6 engine will be delivered in 2012 and is RWD.
Finally the 2010 Dodge Police (Charger) has a 5.7-liter HEMI producing 368 horsepower and 395 lb.-ft. of torque. It has a max speed of 146mph and is also RWD. The V6 engine has a 3.5L engine creating 250 horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. of torque.
So which would you give to the police department? Which is the best choice here??

It's a tough choice, I'd like to see a car mag do a police cruiser comparo test, just so I could get a better idea of where they all stand. The Charger has been on the streets for awhile though. And when I first spotted one it was a welcomed change from the same old Crown Vics. Although I know how some police departments like the simplicity of having the old body on frame Crown Vics.

Yea it would be great to see a comparison on all these three vehicles. At the same time they can add the Carbon vehicle in the mix to see who really comes out top dog.
