Nothing ever will the combo of the slow 4sp automatic and the 06 and up with the Mitsubishi 225 amp alternators with decoupler clutch whines so damn loud and that spin down with a newer 4.6 that howls that sound winding up is almost sexually orgasmic for a car guy it's not fast at all but the slower they are the better they sound winding up in 1st. I'm not really a fan of many fords but the crown vic witch is basically a f250 with a car body is by far the toughest car and the final bodystlyle is absolutely sexy still looks great and something about the 4.6 sound and that bodystlyle match if that makes sense so calm and majestic yet angry and aggressive the vic will undoubtedly become the best police car of all time no not fast but like I herd a sgt say one time they are reliable as a hammer and fast enough. But I've herd ford say it's not about outrunning the suspect it's about outlasting the suspect
I've just spent an embarrassingly long time on Google Maps trying to figure out exactly where this is, and I did it! The video begins between N 69th and N 71st Avenue, westbound on W Thomas Rd. At 5:43, they turn south on N 115 Ave, and 6:32 they turn west on W McDowell Rd. the final turn is into a parking lot just before McDowell intersects N Dysart Rd--where there is a Bank of America branch. The route is 8.9 miles and Google says it should take anyone not running code 3 about 22 min.
DAMN, 3:37 that SUV jumped that curb, that was badass! The vehicle we're riding in is going to need a full tank of gas after this run! Some of that driving was insane.
I've done 9 ride alongs with 4 different agencies around me for my college courses. I've been lights and sirens 3 times. Once in a 2012 Caprice. Once in a 12 Charger. Once in a 13 Impala. Caprice we were in speeds excess of 130 mph, I almost pulled the door panel off, legitimately. Impala was 60 mph car was quicker than expected for a v6. But the Charger, I'm no dodge fan, but what that car can do is ungodly. We had to interrupt 10-7 for a guy with a knife. That thing can HAUL ASS
Good times, bro! I was an Explorer from '97-'04, and did dozens of ride-alongs. All we had were Crown Vics, with the exception of a Subaru WRX with the Traffic Division (2003, loaned out for 6 months, then returned), and a Chevy Cavalier (also Traffic). That Subaru was UNGODLY fast (try 97 uphill in 4th), and the Chevy was a POS ( both cars were unmarked though, so good to sneak up on people with). But I never got a chance to ride in the Chargers. They came along well after I left the Post.
Rode with a officer friend who drove a vic. Different situation but we got a medical call even though we didn't have this much distance to cover we were the furthest unit we beat the closest patrol unit, fire department and EMS department. The vic was the best patrol car they had
I miss the old crown vic I miss working on them as a county sheriff and state trooper patrol mechanic il agree yes these cars are sickening slow but will take all the abuse you give it just dont let someone rearend you anyone that knows the vic knows what I mean or have at least seen a rearened one. Despite being so slow the old modular 4.6 will get angry and scream at you witch makes up for it always has made me smile especially if it has a alternator clutch. That whine loud and spins down anyone who floors these crown vics and winds that 4.6 up knows the type of thrill it gives you
The longest I ever had to run was Riverside (CA) General to UCLA on a CCT car, the nurse told me this guy was critical and on the kidney transplant list. If I remember correctly we got there in just over an hour (1:10 Maybe) But we were cruising the freeway at 80-85 the whole way.
In the fire service in Louisiana they have eliminated a code 2 response. We have code 1 which is speed limit response, get here when you can.... Code 3 is lights and siren and no more than 10mph over the posted speed limit. State Law.
Not a fan of ford but I love the sound of the motor in that crown vic, going to suck when all police departments are done using crown vics, unless ford brings it back at some point.
It's MCSO Sheriff's in AZ. They take for ever as they cover a lot of land. But It's also Avondale or Goodyear PD land so there was probably units already there.
Why is everyone ragging on the response time? These are BACK UP units. Within the first few seconds you can hear an officer say "I'm about to go 23" which means (arrive of scene) These responders did great!
Here where I live (and I won't even say where that is) it can take police officers anything from 15 minutes to 2 hours to arrive on scene. They're just complaining because they don't have anything else to do. Gotta love Americans, always gotta complain about everything.
Here it more or less it's the same, but when traffic is backed up the left lanes and no or just a few cars in the right lane, then we just rather proceed in the right lane or on the sidewalk than waiting until dozens of cars move to the right
Well there are different factors to think of such as torque loss and lag. Comparing a 4,000 pound car equipped with a dual exhaust 4.6L Single Overhead Cam 16 Valve engine cranking out only 250 horsepower/297 pound feet of torque mated to a 4R70W or 4-speed automatic transmission with 3.27 rear end gears, and a 6,000 pound SUV with the 5.4L Single Overhead Cam 24 Valve with Variable Cam Timing and cranking out 300 horsepower/365 pound feet of torque mated to a 6R75/6R80 or the 6-speed automatic transmission and 3.73 rear end gears. You have a bigger advantage with the 3.73 gears and the 6R80 transmission in order to move the mass that the Expedition carries compared to having 3.27 gears and a 4R70W transmission.
We dialed 911 when we saw someone getting beat up when we were leaving a concert at the local park, and when we pulled out of the parking lot, 5 cop cars pulled in goin code 3 :P.
@kooteo here that response time is completly normal. In the city the Fire department has a time limit of 10 minutes to arrive on scene, and the police normally arrives several minutes after the FD
I didn't like the order of the vehicles, but the thing is, that Vic at full speed at a long distance hits around 135......... get there so FAST......love ridin' in those things! The engine will make you feel like a man!
I wouldn't take people's word for it on here. I would either spend some time researching it online, speak to an active duty officer, or contact some sort of public relations. It also depends on location. Many states and counties have their own rules/laws that may differ from others.
I love the way they stay on task with responding. I personally would have canceled my unit and just go back and start ticketing me some drivers. I lost count at 3 minute mark
i always wanna know how it feel like to be inside a police car but this video give me an idea how is it really feel like to be inside of a police car thank buddy for uploading this video, appreciate it
@Erin421 Code 1 = Request for assistance with no lights, sirens, driving rules apply Code 2 = Request for assistance with lights only Code 3 = Request for assistance with lights/sirens
My Friends brother was going code 3 to a GTA in progress, and he got slammed by a semi.... which ran the red light. His car was totaled and he had a broken leg.....
