[QUOTE="TomT, post: 603744, member: 55397"] Unless Ford has changed the design of Crown Vics lately, I know a lot of police departments that have gotten away from them because of a safety flaw. The gas tank is behind the rear axle. When hit at a high speed from the rear, the tank is crushed, leaks and explodes. The Center for Auto Safety says 15 police officers have died in Crown Victoria fires since 1992. The Crown Vic today is just a plain 4.6 liter V8 with a beefier suspension. There's a whole lot of cars out there that can out run it. Of course they can't out run the radios, so the need for speed really should not be an issue. [/QUOTE]
