As an owner of one. I think everyone knows what my vote will be. Just a little hint though, the P71 Police Interceptors of 03 have 250hp. While the civilian CV has 224hp or 239 hp with the dual exhaust option.

Rotary Junkie · Mar 16, 2009

Merely "cool", just because Ford didn't do as they should have and put either a 5.4 or a dual-cam 4.6 in.

Philly · Mar 16, 2009

Cool if it's driven by a civilian.

Seriously uncool if it's flashing it's lights at you.

Leonidae · Mar 16, 2009

it's a Ford, hence seriously uncool.

Omnis · Mar 16, 2009

It's a government vehicle. Eww.

Now a Marauder is cool.

JCE · Mar 16, 2009

As a former owner of a P71 my vote is clear. Its just sub zero, period. Its an old fashioned American Musclecar. A TRUE musclecar. Large saloon with a V8 and RWD. Who cares if its slow (I guess) it makes a good noise and is just cool and menacing in all black.

homeforsummer · Mar 16, 2009

Sub zero. If it's going sideways, it goes in the imaginary DB9 fridge.

CDailey · Mar 16, 2009

Ford CVPI is definetly Subzero. As JCE said, its a modern day muscle car. It's got a big, loud V8 and it's mean.

Omnis
Now a Marauder is cool.

Correction: The Marauder should go in the DB9 fridge along with the '94-96 Impala SS/Caprice 9C1 and the erm...DB9.

JCE · Mar 16, 2009

Yes, the Marauder is super sub zero.

YSSMAN · Mar 16, 2009

I voted "sub-zero" mainly because its the most ancient car sold in the American market that continues to be relevant for no reason other than its impossible to break, and perhaps the greatest sleeper Ford to roll out of Detroit since the Cobra-Jet powered Galaxies from back in the '60s.

Nab one in black on black with the ram bar still attached, you're going to be hard pressed to find a car that is more bad-ass. Srsly.

Nicksfix · Mar 16, 2009

Police version , it runs , they are quick for a full size car. COOL

To be fair, as I understand it the SOHC modular was the only one that would fit. That being said, now that the SOHC motor has over 300 horses it is somewhat annoying that the Police only get 240 (of course, I've noticed that NY-owned Interceptors are rarely not supercharged).

Fail.

It a RWD beast that you can off road, ram people with, smoke the tires on, and fit everyone you know in.

What isn't cool about it?

Moglet · Mar 16, 2009

Sub Zero. It just is.

You can thank Ford for still using the 2V 4.6L. The 3V should be in with no exceptions.

It is okay, his opinion doesn't much count because he is a badge elitist. But while I also am, I use real reasons (reliable, cost, so on) where as he just sees "American" and concludes it's rubbish.

Almost 51,000 miles on my Focus and it hasn't had a single fault. The last 50 or so miles were pretty abused by me though

That's not exactly true, old buddy. I just have had bad experience with Fords that color my opinion with excessive negativity towards the cursed blue oval of doom.

in addition, this car is heavy, it's sedan, it has cattle bars that belong to offroaders etc.. and quite often, if I recall right, had to chase the offender in the elongated chases that were then show in tv for entertainment even if the criminal got hurt in the process. :rolleyes:

C-ZETA · Mar 17, 2009

I'd say uncool...trust me, I swear it is heavier than a herd of elephants, and if it isn't, it certainly feels like it is. And it has virtually no acceleration. I was one touch away from putting seriously uncool, but the saving grace of this particular car...is that it's a police interceptor.

TheCracker · Mar 17, 2009

As a European and a Ford guy i voted cool. Although i do have a creeping suspicion that i've voted for the US version of an ex po-leeese Granada or Omega.

Thatman · Mar 17, 2009

I voted uncool, because where I worked all of the Taxi cabs were decommissioned PIs, and none of them had a "good " interior. Well aside from easily being able to clean up puke in all of the seats and floors SUPER EASILY. Plus some of them had two buttons for opening the trunk... I can understand why... but why not all of them then. Oh but props for having adjustable pedals..lol. And would have to go with the Marauder on looks, like yesterday I just saw one of them parked out a local shop....looked sooo sweeet.

Hey! They are entertaining. It serves the criminals right for running.

Jondot · Mar 17, 2009

Cool. But only in the US and Canada - drive one in Europe and you'd look like an ass. That goes for just about any cool American car, to be honest.

Some point in my life I will go over to London with a big loud American v8 powered car. Just to piss people off :sly:

Show them how a car should sound

Unfortunately, it doesn't work quite like that

You're far more likely to end up looking like Tim Westwood:

...which is never a good thing.
