I'm sure if the 9C1's were still on the road the cops would be singing a different tune but either way after driving my sister bf's Crown Vic Police Interceptor that things handles leaps and bounds beyond what my Fleetwood handles like and that has a modified sporty suspension. Those things stay plated to the ground great. We were driving fast on some back roads with lots of bumps and hills in the road and no matter how fast you would go the car stay planted to the ground at all times. If I was in the FTS the car would be hopping up and down and all over the place. The Crown Vic's may not be the fastest cars in stock trim but you can mod them up quite nice to make up for the performance deficiency
