Need Help: Guy blew stop sign, T-Boned my car. Need new one.

SHO is a nice car
Better sleeper than the Lumina
BTW: Those Crown Vics are ok, but get a nice Caprice with the 5.7L engine.
Exact same engine like the the Corvette, but just a detuned computer.
Probably switch out the chip and go back to 320hp (from 260 )

thedarkwolf is right. Look for a caprice though. Stay away from the Fords, they have problems. Maybe if you are lucky you can find a used cop car. Those would be cheap and very cool. Many are not abused, well not too much anyway), and many used ones for sale were unmarked cars so they don't look like the Blue's Brothers.

Yeah everyone, I'll definitely check out the used cop car route. I can just see me pulling up into the drivway with a retired Caprice...my dad would sh*t!

Of course, I'm limited by how much the guys insurance agency is going to lowball me by. Anyone ever dealt with Illinois National?

I've driven a few different Taurus' before (though not an SHO), and they all tend to get rickety over time, and the drivetrain tends to get clunky after a while as well. Even though it may be fast I'd be careful if I were you...
