It's supposedly a 3.? Liter V6 in the NA version. The optional motor is a 3.? TT that makes 350 h.p. stock. No one knows though how having twin turbos are gonna hold up to the rigors of running constantly, hot starts and quick shut downs. If Ford was smart, they would've dropped the 5.4 in the Crown Vics years ago. Or, at least a 4.6 that made more than 250 h.p, maybe one of the plants from the truck lines or a stang motor, but they didn't. The standard 4.6 being rated at 250/297 has really been unchanged for a few years and its a very durable, stout motor, they just dont make any power. You really gotta get'em moving to feel like you're going anywhere.

Ford could easily make that a RWD and drop a 4.6 in it. Then, I think agencies would take it more seriously. But they dont care about engine options, they care about the overall cost of the vehicle. If the Caprice is selling for cheaper, then the no brainer thing to do is purchase those. The agency I work for has 850 fleet vehicles so over time, and looking at the bigger picture, that's a lotta spread.

Either way, I'll take another trusty CVPI that gets the job done.
