Your not a cop so I’m still trying to understand why you’d make baseless observations about this vehicle’s performance due to the fact it’s FWD and has a V6. 99% of the Charger’s sold are V6s, even though the V8 option is available, municipalities do it for fuel savings and acquisition costs. Only a few highway agencies and small towns that operate small fleets buy the V8 Chargers and Tahoes. The Impala 9C1 was one of the best cars I’ve ever driven, it gets up to speed ALOT faster than the vickys, and I’d rather be in it anyday over a vic or tahoe when the snows out.

sorry but, chevy this rubberband for 2011 will break. A LEO doesn’t know when he or she will be involved in a pursuit. It better to have the extra power and not need it ,than to need it and not have it. I’ve seen so many chevy impala’s (police) break downs due to transmissions, brakes, and MOTORS. When order this vehicle you need to order transmission and keep them in sock. They will began to snatch jerk, and have delays in shifting into gear. THIS IS NOT A LEO VEHICLE. CHEVY NEEDS TO GO BACK TO THE 1994 AND LOOK AT THE PATROL VEHICLE DURING THAT TIME AND REVAMP FROM THAT CONCEPT.

While I would agree that the Impala should be RWD and police departments would much rather have a full-frame RWD sedan, the current 9C1 Impala is meant for patrol duty, not interceptor duty. Remember that the current Crown Vic interceptor has 250hp and suddenly the much more economical and nimble FWD Impala with 233hp doesn’t sound so bad anymore.
