Also, the added cost of maintaining the front-drive systems and questionable durability of the turbocharger systems make it an unappealing choice to me.Chief Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301609489088689597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1305560399305566559.post-27962312119893352712013-05-06T11:03:21.765-04:002013-05-06T11:03:21.765-04:00In section 2, you post that powerful acceleration ...In section 2, you post that powerful acceleration is a must, and during your conclusion, you post that RWD is also a must. If you are constantly at full throttle in the Caprice or Charger, it requires more effort to control it through a turn. The Ford Police Interceptor with the Ecoboost AWD option, has near the same amount of horsepower as the Charger. Yet, during the MSP police testing, and the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department testing, the Ford had the fastest 0-60, 0-80,0-100, as well as the fastest lap times, on the MSP testing courses as well as the LACSD pursuit and high speed courses, as well as the highest average speed. The Ford PI also has the lowest base price out of the three main options. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
