The LS1 was built by the hand of God,.....

yes on all those points and my point is simply Ford did a hell of a job getting GM guys after 02 and Ford sold tons of Machs Cobras, Gt500s ect. I like the SN-95s white 98 Cobra with Hellion Turbo kit and call it a day. It all comes down to for pretty much any platform is how deep are your pockets. Now Ford does have the massive aftermarket advantage here.
 


The only point I can agree with by Iraq is Ford has done a stellar job of capitalizing on GMs stupidity.

'88 GM drops the G Body
'96 GM drops the B Body
'02 GM drops the F body.


Go, team. Effin' idiots.
 
Well, then care to explain how handing the entire law mnforcement market to Ford was a clever decision? Even as dated as a 9C1 Caprice is today, 14 years later it's still a superior platform to the lumbering pig of a Crown Victoria.

I've had 2 Caprices, they should of kept making them. I heard a G8 based Caprice may be coming. That could make for a great cop car.
 


id drive the TT taurus. sorry but DOD is lame id rather have a boosted 6 cylinder. as long as you stay out of boost you can get just as good mpg as a DOD v8 and then while in boost youd prolly have much more get go.
 
v8 sound = win.

it will come down to cost 100%

who wants to bet the caprice will have both lower initial purchase costs and maintenance costs?
 
i dont see how a twin turbo is going to last for police duty. a diesel yes but not a internal combustion. here in nyc police cars idle all day and get beat to piss. i dont see a turbo engine holding up. maybe ford knows better than i do?

Fords on track to making what could be the best turbo'd Gasoline engine in quite some time. If I were to buy any Gas powered truck on the market, it'd be the ecoboost without a doubt.

Geez guys, it's simple.

1. M+T=HP (Money + Time = Horsepower). The rest is all personal preference.

2. Unless you happen to own the world's fastest top fuel dragster, theres always somebody faster.

I've driven a '69.5 Camaro, '96 Camaro and briefly a '99 Mustang. RWD american V8s are just the most fun cars to drive, but again that's my personal preference.
