I will never forgive Ford for discontinuing the Crown Vic or the Police for putting up with it. Cops look like a bunch of butt pluggers driving around in their little gay all wheel drive vehicles now. No wonder they don't get any respect.

Worthless thread without a picture....

The last body-on-frame car with a live rear axle suspension. Most Taxi's were just older police cars bought at auction.
Ford discontinued the Panther platform (Crown Vic, Gran Marquis, and Town Car) because they believed they were damaging to the brand. However, they were companies most profitable vehicle in the late seventies and early eighties, until the F150 took over.

The Crown Vics were tough as hell. They should have dropped the new 5.0L in them with a slight refresh and kept selling them.

That's great because they don't have black people in Dubai India.

My wifes grandmother has a perfect 1970's Marquis. I think I'm going to buy it lol

I'm glad they got rid of the Crown Vic's. With these damn cars, I couldn't tell if it was a Ghost Car following me or my Grandparents.

They were definitely damaging to the brand but served a workhorse role.
Ford brand in general kind of black and blue right now.
Trucks look like they originated from Minecraft with half-tons positioning 3.5L EcoBoost as premium choice.
GM SBC continues to stomp 5.0L Coyote.
Their sedans are all kind of suck.
I'm not a Ford hater. Just being real.

Mark Field's was fired for a reason. Ford's stock has gone nowhere but down.
I have to disagree with you on Ford Trucks. I'm not really a fan of the 3.5 eco boost, but it hasn't hurt sales at all. In fact Ford F series trucks have a healthy lead over the Silverado.
I personally prefer GM trucks to Ford because of the V8.
Ford is doing really well with SUV/Crossovers with the Escape, Explorer, and Edge all selling well.
Regarding Ford cars, the Fusion is the best selling American car and the Focus does alright. American cars in general are dying right now.

A buddy had one
On the freeway it was wonderful. Everyone got out of ur way
City driving was horrible. Everyone drove 5 under

Possibly cheapest platform to mod. Find a decent one for $500 at an auction, and go to work.

Mark was a result of nepotism. The company was not stable when he inherited it.
I think it is fcked up that F series is posing the 3.5L EcoBoost as the premium engine. The Raptor is 3.5L only with 10-spd box (love the new trans it is a great step forward)
New $400K+ Ford GT is EcoBoost 3.5L too. I just cannot get excited about Ford doing turbo V6. They are NOT Nissan. They do not have the heritage to pull off turbo V6 with any kind of prestige.
Americans (myself included), like fat-ass cars with big torque V8. EcoBoost is a lame powertrain.
Taurus and Fusion are one to two steps behind the times and quickly losing ground.

I drive a 4 cilinder 1.4L turbo.
It has 150 HP. Its a beast. Electronic upgrade to 190HP if requested.
It does 50 miles to a gallon of petrol easy.
Its a Skoda Octavia.
Usa cars need 6L V8 for 300 HP lol!!

Last time I checked all the V6 models were 300+hp and now even the 2.0 Turbo GM is over 300 along with fords 2.3 Turbo. V8s are all over 400 now close to 500 in 6L+ form.

The 3.5 turbo in the F150 is an absolute beast with 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft. The Raptor 3.5 has 450 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque. There's no shortage of power in either of these engines.
My issue with these engines is reliability and ease of maintenance. The OHV V8 is just so easy to rebuild.

Actually, I believe the Raptor has 510 lb-ft of torque. You are right, they do make a lot of power. The Ford GT version puts out 647 HP. I am a more of a V8 guy, but have to admit the output of the 3.5 Ecoboost is impressive. The 2.7 Ecoboost is surpisingly quick also.

best cop car ever FACT!!!
no cgi just pure stunts and real crashes and real top speed those aussie filamkers were well known for pushing the boundries back in the day
-
Couple of things to add,
those cop cars in mad max were ford falcons
theory has it that some of the memebers of the motorcycle gang were former cops like max who went rogue and insane, if you notice the ToeCutter and Bubba zanetti both wear the same leather outfits(although) tattered as the cops

man, the crown Victoria was iconic in my opinion.....Ford could have keep it going...just a couple refresh here and there......at one time, guys were buying these at auctions like hot cakes......Dodge Charger has now become the work horse for the Police Departments around the country......but Crown Victoria will forever remain the symbol......

well, Ford was happy for the last two years with the redesign of the Mustang......and yes, the GT 350 is still banking Big time for them.....I'm waiting for two more years to get my GT 350, maybe depreciation will be on my side..... ;D

Word is the next GT500 will be a monster, but one can only guess what the sticker will be.

I had a 2002 gran marquis great car everyone thought I was the police. Picked up gen 3 charger rt 5.7 V8 a few months ago it's the most fun I've had in a long time I absolutely love it!! I put a sweet exaughst on it along with a few other bolt ons. I wish I had a little more cash for the 6.4 scat pack.

Rumors are the GT500 which due sometime in 2018 will boast a 750 horses and will not have the same engine as the current GT 350......from the spy photos circulating outhere, it doesn't look too much different from the GT 350, except for a slight aero makeup here and there, but I doubt current GT 350 owners will trade in their cars for the GT 500.

Lol eurocars with 2.0L have 400hp easy since 1980.
What I am saying is usa engines are big but not efficient. Very low tech.
-
150 HP beast. lol That's like bragging about having 14" biceps.
150 tot 190 HP from 1.4L is efficient brah . Mine has 150HP and speeds like crazy.

Horseshit. Nice try. Troll better.
-

None that are road cars
I find it hard to believe even full out race cars at the time even though I remember BMW in the 70's had something like that, but it was race, and turbocharged

But euro cars and the rice burners even when souped up to 1000hp sound fucking faggy as hell when compared to the low growl of a v-8 or v-10 or v-12
case in point

lol at the eurofags, no wonder they have become such cucks
this video will raise the testosterone in a woman

The Demon is an awesome car and I'm glad that Dodge basically gave the middle finger to other manufacturers, one upped even the Hellcat and made a street legal drag car with 840 hp, drag radials and transbrake. However, the sound of the 5 cylinder Audi is legendary:
The Lancia Stratos (V6) and 037 Rally (inline 4) also sound amazing:

I have stupid $ into an air-bagged RAM reg cab Hemi V8...totally stupid $.
FCA vehicles are junk. They look the tits but are junk compared to TOY/HONDA.
I drive a grandma Toy Avalon for my daily.
FCA are very much about bark before bite. They do make a great V8 (not as good as GM SBC 6.2L).
Let's start talking about cars with the sme scrutiny we put modern bbuilders under. Fck what country of origin.

so the demon is selling for 85k and no demon version for the Charger.....meh,
