LA Sheriff's Dept. tests new police cruisers, compiles findings in 174-page report.

This pdf includes the 2012 Caprice, the new 2011 Chargers, and prototype 2013 Ford PI's. The new Fords did pretty well.

5300lbs for the caprice? Is that fully dressed in police trim? That seems insane.

There are a lot of typo's in the report, such as the Ford "explorer" PI making 280lb ft of torque at 14,000 rpm's, lol

This was a great read. The caprice has the fastest 1/4 mile, the shortest 60-0 braking dist, and the best observed mpg.

sounds like a winner to me.

The Ford 2013 PI had the fastest 1/4 mile I believe.

How do you know that is a typo? Show a dyno of that vehicle taken to 14k.
