Looks bad as in looks bad to the bone. And with the Eco Boost I'm sure it runs bad to the bone.

My little brother and I use to rock out to that in the back of our aerostar mini-van back in the early 90s!

You would hope "bad" in a cop car means bad-behind. I drove 560 miles today and couldn't get the Panther frame out of my sight or mind as it's been the norm for a long time. Hope to begin to see others that perform as well.

I saw a new Taurus a couple weeks ago rocking a Waag push bar. It was black and looked pretty slick. I don't know if it was a real cop car or just someone who put a Waag on their Taurus though.

Twin turbos send chills up any government bean counters spine. The "Ego" Boost engine is great but many municipalities are shying away from such added potential problems. Two turbos can be as much as an entire engine.

I have all the order codes picked out to build the one I want. Just have to find someone willing to bend the rules just a little bit and get me my car.
Just kidding. I dont have that kind of money.

Don't forget all wheel drive which is mandatory with EB drivetrain. With all that complexity Ford is going to really have to back these up.

perhaps extended warranty?

Not all will be EcoBoost. The N/A 3.5 Duratec is also offered, and will more likely be the norm. I still think the Charger looks more "bad".
