[edit] vandals
"for the penis version" ??

[edit] Problems and Criticisms comment removed
Un unregistered person put the comment "A 9C1 caprice with the LT1 was last made in 1996, however the caprices are still faster than the newest p71's." under the Problems and Criticisms section of the article. This comment seems unrelated as the last year of the Caprice was 1996 and this article covers the CVPI models 1998 to present. And without a cited source, it also seems to violate the NPOV, in my opinion. —S3BST3R 04:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 5.0L Windsor V8 ?
The article's infobox states two engines. A 5.0L Windsor V8, and a 4.6L Modular SOHC V8. However, the article details do not speak, at all, of the former. It only speaks of the 4.6L engine. And I, myself, have never heard of the 5.0L engine used in the CVPI. When was this engine used? Any sources? —S3BST3R 07:30, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- It would have been an earlier model if any because the Windsor is an old engine. That said, a mere 186KW from a 4.6 V8 is pretty piss weak. Barra 190 generates 190kw from a 4.0L V6. 211.28.220.254 (talk) 05:49, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Where is the design info?
The design section is sorely lacking. It tells of changes but not what the differences between the standard CV and the Interceptor are in the first place. Does anyone have good information they can add, or time to look it on the Ford site and whatnot? --Howdybob 23:20, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Comparison with civilian Crown Vic added
I've added a section detailing some of the differences. --Roger Williams 08:41, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Giving to Clarity?
Is that US$150 trunk pack per PI or per agency? I'm guessing per PI, which could make the cost prohibitive... Be clear. Trekphiler 11:51, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] How fast do they go?
I would expect that to be included as highly relevant information?
- Good question. If anyone wants a definitive answer, They can go here for answers from the Michigan State Police: http://www.michigan.gov/msp/0,1607,7-123--16274--,00.html
That link has stats for pretty much all vehicles marketed by their manufacturers for pursuit duty. I don't have time to look it up right now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.228.181.183 (talk) 22:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Accelerator Problem
Has any one had a problem while hitting the brake the accelarator revs up causeing the car to keep foward momentum. the first time it happened I thought I might have hit the gas, but I didn't. The second time it happened I knew I had a problem. I found out that another unit in our fleet has done the same thing. Both vehicles are 2006 C/V. Any help
-- I believe it has to do with a problem in the drive by wire system (the throttle body is linked to the accelerator pedal via computer, not cable). Ford Dealer can help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.32.37.29 (talk) 07:48, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] End of availability to civilians post 2008
This article The civilian version will not be available after 2008. The Grand Marquis will still be sold. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.107.8.234 (talk) 20:37, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- THat's a blog (albeit an auto industry one) quoting a rumor. We'll need to wait for an official word from Ford, or from a reliable source with editorial review, before putting that kind of info in the article. It probably won't be too long before official word is out tho. - BillCJ 22:38, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
