wukindada Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 3.5v6 burnout............:lol: Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 I thought that was the HEMI model. He said hemi in the video and I read in a few places that some of them will have the V8 HeMI in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Some will...... 2 things give it away though 1. Those wheels are for the V6 models only 2. Take a look how long it takes to actually break the rear tires loose....a 5.7l Hemi has just over 370ftlb's.....those tires would vaporize quickly!! Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!!

godwhomismike Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 oh well, it's still better than a Crown Vic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Agreed.... I really think they should use the Magnum for police use Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 FWIW, the police Charger with a hemi does use 18 inch steel wheels with plastic covers - including the fullsize spare. They also get a column-mounted shifter where the civilian version has it in the console. Dodge hasn't figured out that you don't put cloth seats in the back of a cop car; Ford uses cloth buckets in front and vinyl in the back for a reason. My Grand Marquis had no problem lighting up its 235-width Bridgestone RE750s. If Ford wants to compete in this category, all they have to do is use the 300hp 3-valve version of the 4.6 mated to their 5spd auto. They already offer the car on OEM 17s so that wouldn't be a problem. Also, a Hemi charger police car sells for almost $10k over a Crown Vic so not many agencies will be spending the difference. How many agencies want to buy 18 inch tires for their fleet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Those are cast wheels though.....not plastic As far as the Grand Marquis you are totally correct, to bad they no longer offer that setup in the car:( Ford should have worked out something nationwide on "Police package" Crown Vics & Marquis......all would basically have the same setup as the now defunct Marauder. It would cost no more than another 2k for a fleet application. Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I've seen better acting in most pr0nos. And anyone that will abuse (usually someone else's) machinery like that is nothing but a punk that needs to get his GED. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 all would basically have the same setup as the now defunct Marauder. Nah, I'm talking about their newer engine - the same as the latest Mustang GT. Their reasoning that every car didn't get the 4.6 4-valve DOHC (Marauder) setup was the cost and higher powerband. Now that the 3-valve SOHC engine makes 300hp and is their standard-issue V8, there's no reason for them to keep making the weak 235hp 2-valve version. Cost is virtually identical. They're also holding out on the tranny, keeping the 5spd auto only in the Mustang and Explorer. Check out this car: http://www.copcarsforsale.com/STK%2006153.htm Those look like alloys but are actually 18 inch wheel covers, at least according to the window sticker.
