You want scary... one of my friends who owns a built '72 340 Duster started going sideways twice while running down a 1/4 mile track.

That's awesome.
But it also further proves- American cars don't handle... Even in straight lines.

Actually, it has nothing to do with handling; it just shows the incredible torque that the engine was making. If the car slid off a curve at a low speed, then you could say it's the handling, but it was on a drag strip.That's awesome.

The problem, however, has since been fixed. It was the tires... the owner changed to stickier tires.

Uh-oh... I guess that proves that FWD cars don't handle... even in a straight line.

Perhaps I got into this late but I have seen some new police cars (Dodge Chargers with Hemis) replacing these crappy crown vics. Anyone else seen this?
Enthusiast
I posted in this one somewhere that the pigs here had tried out the Hemi Chargers, but decided to stay with the Crown Vics for a myriad of reasons including, but not limited to, worries over liability and fuel economy.

Thre are some Chargers in my area. Probably replaced the aging Camaro Z28/Mustangs from the early 90's. I hate to throw my hat in the ring here, but here's a look at a modded CV. Don't know anything about numbers.

At least it looks like having twin turbos...

hey guy's new to the forum and saw some question about up about way would you upgrade a Crown Vic. i did it because the wife said i need a family car and a daily driver. lol so i sold my 1969 nova and got the Crown Vic. Nova ran 11.8 1/4 at 117. the Crown Vic after some mods made 530RWHP and ran best of 11.3 1/4 @119 Supercharged. here are some pic S/C'ed.

It's gotta be great having the Moses effect on the highway driving a CV.
