Rest assured, nearly every American driver who sees a P-71 Crown Vic on the horizon or in your rear-view mirror can't help but tense up a little.īecause regardless of whether or not you're breaking the law, if the person behind the wheel decides to flash their lights and blast their sirens, you're rear-ended is thoroughly cooked. Thanks to countless appearances in TV cop dramas, movies, and TV shows, they serve as everything from cop cars to detective vehicles and even New York City Taxis. The Crown Victoria CVPI is one of if not the most recognizable American cars of the 21st. Produced in small batches at a time on an as-needed basis for law enforcement between 19, the second-generation P-71 police-spec Crown Vic was a car that spent nearly as much time sitting idle as it did patrol the mean streets of Anytown, USA.
The two-inch ride height bump keeps the oil pan from hitting the curb when making abrupt 180-degree turns on residential streets but also makes this 3,800-pound (1,723.65 kg) land whale of a four-door sedan have even more body roll than usual. In fact, one could make the argument that the P-71 Crown Vic police package actually handles worse than the civil model. Moreover, a 3:55:1 gearing was available when compared to the "civilian" 2.74:1 axle ratios. Why? Because that's just not the case with the P-71, but it still came with a standard 3.27:1 diffs with an option for traction-lock.

Firstly, you might be tempted to think the Crown Victoria P-71 Police Interceptor limited edition has some fancy "cop motor" or "cop suspension." To that, we say you really need to stop re-watching the original Blues Brothers movie and reconnect with reality. The Ford Crown Victoria's civilian model is both completely different from its police counterpart in some ways but also exactly the same in others.
