My gf works in the mailroom for the town and said she saw a magazine to the police station trying to push the '05 Stangs as new police cruisers....Stang was on the cover

Anyone else hear about this?

I feel sorry for the perp. who gets thrown in the back of one of these. Wouldnt that qualify as cruel and unusual punishment? I can see the new Stang as a possible interceptor/pursuit vehicle though.

they'd have to shorten criminals sentences, since sittin in the back stang is basically torture

I heard this from a DPS officer as well. I was at the car wash and he approached to look at the car, and made the comment that his department was looking at them as an interceptor. He said "I could work in one of these"

Doesn't sound like such a great idea since most of us could out run him....

The gas tank doesn't seem near big enough to work in a police car. This thing is burning through tanks of gas like crazy!

Ive heard from troopers here in fl that drive the camaros. there is a plan to have state trooper stangs for them since many of their camaros are getting near time to replace. I remember the old 5.0's that they had, they were fast. believe me, there will always be faster cars out there but like it was said, you cant outrun the motorola radio.

As for troopers here, they usually transport in their front seat since none of their cars have cages.

I look forward to having run (haha) against one of my friends who is a trooper that has a camaro, we've got a great place to do it and ill be sure to let you know how it goes....just waiting to get mine.

Ford has certified the 05 Stang as a Police Interceptor, like the Crown Vic. Their timing couldn't be better since the Camaro just died.

Ford Mustangs also don't cost $750,000. I've seen the fox body police cars so why not an '05?

The average car is getting faster now, it is getting tough for crown vics to keep up. You can't pit a car if you can't keep up with him and with these new run flat tires going on everything stop sticks arn't going to stay as the easiest way to stop a chase. The new mustang seems like a great choice, plenty of power and enough weight to be able to pit without loosing control, plus if they don't put light bars on them like a lot of state police are doing right now they would be great at catching speeders, as no one expects an unmarked stang to be a cop. The mustang has been looked at as the replacement for the camaro for a while now. I know the Penn highway police have a few older Cobras as cruizers and they love them.

You're not that far off. Check this out.

It's a gift though. Way too expensive to buy even in bulk.

Ummm..... California Hwy Patrol used mustangs for years (fox body) I dont think it would be far fetched to have a couple mustang interceptors.... California has like 7 Camero interseptors
