Hello, I am new to the P71 community but have been working on Crown Vics on and off for many years. Currently I have a 2005 P71 CHP unit that is stored at my home and belongs to a semi retired Orange County Sheriff Deputy. I have been and always will be a Chevy guy but I must say this, the Crown Vic beats our Caprice in most ways....except in the drive train. If Ford had placed a better motor and trans in the Crown Vic, they would have had the best of both worlds. Hope to see more people join this forum.
