To put this thread into an older context:
I used to follow police car history and back in the '80s and '90s, people forget how slow police cars were. Remember the movie Heat and Short Time? Miami Vice squads couldn't keep up with Testarossas and Mustangs...hence that is why Crockett and Tubbs had their own cool cars.
LASD (Los Angeles Sheriff's Department) and MSP (Michigan State Police) used to measure 30-55 acceleration and 55-70 acceleration data as well. The former metric was for patrol cruisers and the latter metric was for freeway cruisers.
Back in the '80s, getting a cop car above 120 and 0-60 under 10 seconds was a feat. 0-100 in under 30 was the gold standard. The '89 Caprice LO5 (TBI 350) finally broke 15 years of futility (since the mid-'70s big-block 440 LA-block Monaco/Fury) with a 0-100 time of 29.3 or so.
Nowadays, a Versa is faster. But in the late '80s, the 350 Caprice, the 351 Crown Vic and the 318 Diplomat/Gran Fury were the fastest cop cars out there. In '91 the whale Caprice that looked like a bathtub hit 130 and everyone thought the future arrived. The '94 Caprice with the LT1 was even faster at 140-142 mph (same engine as the Impala SS). Those are some of my favorites...
We are spoiled with fast Explorers/Tauruses and Chargers that do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds with either their Ecoboost engines or their huge HEMI V8s.
