Defensive Driving Pursuit course training Ford Crown Victoria

On board video from patrol vehicle Ford Crown Victoria during defensive driving training. Run shows practice run on pursuit course. Limit 2:30 sec, time of this run 2:05 :-) I wish I could run the course with my WRX STi

[@xXLuxxyBuxxyXx]

That engine note is intoxicating

[@chubbysumo2230]

the transmission controller hates this.

[@zaneherrington8868]

Intake sounds good but the distinct whine on the P71 everyone loves is just the high output alternator clutch 😂

[@georgesteffens7489]

So satisfying the WOT pulls with these cars

[@actionfire4036]

Admit it, we all come back to these videos for this cars lovely V8 sound!

[@howtobebasic2122]

0:15 the best v8 ever made vertally indestructible!!!!

[@03p71]

The 05 and up Crown Vic's make such a good noise! That whine/howl just before shift point literally gets me sexually excited.

[@gnd8024]

03p71 no shit i thought I was the only one. This is the most beautiful sounding engine ever made sounds better then a Ferrari to me , if hearing a p71 wind up Don’t cure erctile dysfunciton nothing will best car even made god bless the ford motor company and I’m a Chevy guy

[@zaneherrington8868]

It’s The alternator clutch on the high output alternator whining mixed with the intake noise.

[@PaulsPlace]

Nice job on the course man, love the sound of a 'Vic

[@ChampNike]

Crown Vics are friggen tanks lol

[@goodspeed777]

That V8 is fantastic, that is one car that can catch a variety of sports vehicles simply withh its power and handling.

[@AJ-zb4iq]

Yes the V8 is very powerful, but the handling is what it lacks. The only good thing it has handling is on the highway (you can drive 80-90MPH and still feel very stable). Only turning is bad since the steering wheel is very loose. The P71 though has a bit better handling (more responsive than the original crown victoria). In my opinion though, good handling means road feel and a tight steering wheel which you will not find in a Ford Panther. Its a good car though.

[@kwb200]

If you know a crown vic like the back of your hand and drive it like it's a part of your body you can catch some seriously fast cars with them it's all about experience in the vic

[@MrCliffda3rd]

You can slap more HP on that beautiful sounded 4.6L, but it's impossible to get Ferrari handling out of a floaty Crown Vic, even with the P71's stiff suspension. I test drove a few Vics over the years and really love the sofa ride.

[@luthermoore2969]

Yea but you'll never wanna drive another car once you own a vic

[@luthermoore2969]

Something about getting pulled along by a v8 in a big American car.

[@rickdavid6758]

I won't lie....the sound of a CVPI gives me a chubby. Lol

[@gnd8024]

Rick David I’ve actually jizzed myself

[@JetTDi]

You sure did give that ABS system a good workout lol

[@justplanecrazy5575]

Chevymalibuls the crown Vic has no ABS....

[@vashts80]

@@justplanecrazy5575 ...........yes it does. lol. it came standard in like 98, till the end.

[@anthonyscvpi5154]

@@justplanecrazy5575 yes it does

[@BobCrane787]

8 cylinders of pure power.

[@mod3rnwarrior34]

Yes! They honestly are pretty powerful considering they are 4100 lbs. With a few performance mods, they can be as quick as a new edge mustang!!

[@CounsilHan]

This looks really challenging but fun at the same time. Nice driving.

[@jasonjohnson2250]

And thats probably the very best that they have in this video ive out drove many crown vics and caprices back in the day in the adirondacks plus i drove dozens of them as cabs not all of them can wheel as good as this this person

[@fusionvic]

I recall reading that during one of the Ford / Police meetings, that Ford offered the 4.6L 3V upgrade but it would mean paying more per CVPI and that the Police buyer representatives did not want to do that. The 4.6 3V should physically fit, considering the 4.6 4V fits in the Marauder (basically a 03-04 Crown Vic). The 5.0 Coyote would probably even fit.

[@Ieatpeople2]

the 4.6 3v would definitely fit, since its the exact same size as the 2v, there is a slight difference the cylinder heads but there is plenty of space. i have an 07 cvpi that i would love to stick a 5.4 or a coyote 5.0 into. or even do an ecoboost swap from a new f150...

[@CSX8600]

Ford should've made those options rather than just discontinue the Vic :(

[@unmarkedpursuitvehicles2up584]

man great driving during the course love the p71s

[@minutemanproductions8029]

I want to try this course in my Crown Vic soo bad

[@darthradbad3131]

Music to my ears, grand marquis here

[@choochoostites]

Looks like a fun course!

[@fusionvic]

Nice video but it just reminds me of how slow the Crown Vic runs. It's a shame Ford didn't put in a new engine in that platform. The 4.6L 3V V8 with 300-330 hp would have been perfect, and a 5.0L Boss V8 would be even sweeter.

[@TheEndleader]

I wanna try!

[@chpman2013]

I think there will still be more Crown Vic's than Tauruses in a few years from now

[@mod3rnwarrior34]

There are even in 2022 and definitely beyond!!

[@esallgoodman]

This aged like fine wine. Good call.

[@chpman2013]

@esallgoodman well, I didn't they'd be around THIS long...but it's pretty cool that some agencies are still running some Crown Vic's, although I'm sure it's mostly because of budget issues.

[@chpman2013]

well the 5 speed that it uses is a Mercedes-Benz transmission...I wanna see how the new 8 speed auto will do

[@UniverseIndistries]

That must be fun.

[@bronxfireradio]

Nice driving, pal. Still wish we had an ABS override and non-highway gears.

[@bonicr1]

Very nice, however I've only owned Crown Vic's all of my driving life (5 years) and I'm fairly certain I can shave 5 seconds off that time (following the same procedure) if I had a few laps (of any course) to really push a CV safely. :) You're exits are fine, but you turn in to the corner all at once (a big mistake with heavy cars that have body roll) and gas out earlier as there is a lag time with this engine (for various reasons, probably throttle body unable to get air in instantly). Every

[@howtobebasic2122]

Ford bring back the bulletproof 4.6 V8 into your F150's and the mustang and along with the expedition.

[@mattjohnston7686]

MatyCross, when do the WPD and ACSO do their EVOC? I would love to come watch

[@juanmasa2700]

My 03 makes like a turbocharged noise when the A/C unit is on

[@officialbigboiofdbc]

lol this is how i defensively drive too

[@EVILWS666]

I would do this ALL day.

[@Megan-fc4rr]

At 1:52 it almost change gears which would have out it at 80 mph.

[@OpticalCoder365]

0:10 The Training Begins

[@22red23]

what year?

[@luthermoore2969]

The sound of America

[@goku180000]

American Muscle!

[@jrexisi2987]

drove this course myself back in 2012, fun course, btw what agency you from?

[@mattjohnston7686]

I believe this is EASTSIDE SPEEDWAY in dooms

[@mattjohnston7686]

I'm guessing either WPD or ACSO

[@boeing757200american]

1:14 .. Is what I don't like to see when I am going over the speed limit .. -__-

[@crownvicguy]

K my turn!!

[@warpdog1993]

man i wish they had something like that for fun here in indy for my p71

[@panzercommander15]

hey this reminds me of grand theft 4 lol

[@ramvanbobby3889]

I bet u can't do that

[@juanmasa2700]

No lie my P71 is much faster than this one

[@mod3rnwarrior34]

What mods?
