We rounded up today's three most popular police pursuit sedans-one each from the Big Three-and hit the test track with takedown lights ablaze. To make things really interesting, we also brought along three increasingly formidable "perpetrator" cars-a Mazda MX-5 Miata, a Mitsubishi Evo MR, and a Porsche 911 Carrera 4-and turned them loose on the same course. Did the cops run them down? Did the perps get away? Is it fun to drive a car with a siren?

As in, spike strips, helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, night-vision equipment-and other cop cars. As the old police saying goes, "There isn't a car in the world that can outrun a Motorola." So there you have it: The Dodge Charger is mas macho, the Chevy Impala is lean and surprisingly mean, and the Ford Crown Victoria is as honest and dependable as Andy Sipowicz. Not that any of that really matters in a police chase. Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

The base model of Chrysler’s large sedan comes instead with a surprisingly small 200-hp, 2.7-liter V-6 that struggles to move the two-ton mass it’s chained to. And with a starting MSRP of $23,295, the V-6 equipped Chrysler 300 is only slightly less expensive than
the already V-8-equipped Vic — which is bigger, too, with a larger trunk and more back seat space.So the Ford remains a breed apart — the only affordable six-passenger, rear-drive, V-8-powered sedan you can pick up for less than $25,000. Even “with everything,” the big cruiser barely lists for more than $30,000 ($30,275 to be precise) and in terms of real-world cost, it’s no great challenge to drive away in a loaded-up Vic with leather and auto climate control for about $30k given incentives and haggling. One man’s treasureArguably, the Vic is theThe Chrysler 300 is unquestionably dramatic — but it’s also love it or leave it. Some think its gangster/gangsta car lines are bold andto others, it’s just plain ugly. Either way, it’s controversial. is a risk as regards resale values and depreciation rates, if you care about that sort of thing.The Vic is definitelyIt’s the epitome ofmiddle America, but its lines are solid, handsome, and
It’s the kind of car that will still look perfectly fine ten years down the road, when many of today’s provocative and trendy cars will draw snickers and unkind comments along the lines of “can you believe they used to make cars like that? Man, those designers had to be high!”And sometimes, its styling works in the Vic’s favor. navy blue or black with the optional performance package that includes a lot of police interceptor-type equipment — including a 3.27 axle ratio, dual exhausts (that bump the V-8’s rated output to 239 hp from the standard 224) and wider wheels and tires — your neighbors and fellow travelers will give you a wide berth because many will assume you are The Law. This is actually a nice bennie of Crown Vic ownership. Just about enough It’s not fast, but it’s fast enough. That means 0-60 mph happens in about 8.4 to 8.7 seconds, depending on whether you’ve got the 3.27 axle, which helps move the car
off the line a little bit faster. If you wanted cheap fun, for about $1500 or so you could buy a Vortech or Paxton supercharger kit, as the 4.6 engine is more or less identical to the Mustang GT’s V-8, and thus there are performance enhancers aplenty available on the parts shelves. With the blower installed, you’d have at least 310-320 hp to play with and could probably smoke a HEMI-powered Chrysler 300 — and still have the bigger car and about $4000 in your pocket for gasThe Vic also handles well, in that big car way of gentle power slides when pushed really hard (as a cop might in hotThe steering is American-style and heavily boosted, so you won’t feel “one with the road” as you might in a European sport sedan, but the Vic tracks straight and true, doesn’t feel floaty, brakes predictably (even if the pedal’s also American-style and a bit over-boosted) and does a fine job of conveying its occupants over the road with minimal jostling.
