Best looking domestic car ( under 50k ) is the new Challenger , Love it , I'm saving for my own . Black on Black , flat black rims with the race kit . Can't wait .
 
needs more power??? 355 stock!!! think what cams, heads, and exhaust and a tune would do.. over 400 hp EASY!!!!

ford cant compete with that!! the vics only made mid 250s for hp...... man o man i thinks i gotz a chub lol!! NEW v8 rwd power!!
 
supposedly the carprice is the old g8. sine ponitac is gone, and teh g8 was a mildly popular car, and wasnt around long, they brought back the caprice name. but really, the g8 is a 4 door gto. both are austrailian cars made my gm for austrailia by gm-holden car company.
 
As reported Friday, Chevrolet has unveiled an all-new rear-wheel-drive police car – the 2011 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV). As Ford still works on replacing the Crown Victoria, GM’s new police car is scheduled to join the law enforcement departments in 2011. Along with a number of special equipment offering, the 2011 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle will be available in a choice of V6 and V8 engines.

For those of you thinking that this is a Pontiac G8 in disguise – think again. The car is actually based on the Zeta-platform, which underpins the Chevrolet Caprice in the Middle East.

The 6.0L V8 engine, which offers fuel-saving technology like Active Fuel Management and E85 capability, produces 355-hp with a maximum torque of 384 lb-ft. Mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, the Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle can catch criminals while going from 0 to 60 mph in the sub 6-second range.

GM says that a V6 choice will also be offered beginning in the 2012 model year.
 
oh sh*t, i didnt see that......i've been hearing that was the plan...g8....guess not..
 
the G8 and GTO were both holden manaro based... holden is the GM brand in austrialia
 
dad had heard that rumor thorugh work also.. and the otehr rumor waa the G8 was supposed to be adapted into some form of buick.. i guess that is not happeneing either.. what relaly kinda pissed me off is that there is a elcmaino version of the G8 in austrailia that they were planning on bringing to the US.. it was going to be a pontiac and there was a sweepstakes to name it.. thats twice they almost brough caminos back and nixed it at the last minute... and to that i say "WTF!!!!!!!! i want a brand new f*cking elcamino!!!!!!!" and i want it in baby blue to match my 69 ss396
 
fed i love you for this thread!! i have been a die hard caprice fan since before i could drive!! i know everything about them. i especially love boxes(81-90) but i only like the 87-90 i have owned a few of them and including all my buddies we have had ten of them. thats not including the bubbles. mine was just like my sig pic. as some of you prolly know. holden has been making a caprice fore years. they actually had their own version of the caprice. most over seas cars are rear wheel drive and holden not only deals with gm. they make a toyota camry that is rear wheel drive. as of three years ago general motors made a statement that claimed that all model years after 2009 would be rear wheel drive. well seems that they are sticking to it somewhat. but the impala monte carlo is still front wheeel drive with a v8. i don get it. but rear wheel drive is what people want. and the overseas caprice is optional with chevy caprice badges or holden statesman badges. and they cast slose to $100,000.00 over seas. also they are huge compared to the G8. yes i know that it is on the same frame. but the body and interior of the caprice has been redesigned fot the caprice PPV (9C1) for more room and comfortability not only for the driver(cop/dick) but also for the rear passengers(aresstee/perp). therefore i cannot wait to see the new csprice hit the streets. also if you look in the new transformers movie. there is a clip of one in there when they are at the air force base. really i want them to hit the streets so in a few years we can buy them as ex cruisers. YAY!! o yeah the overseas version of the caprice can be compared to our larger luxury cars. mercedes bmw jag rolls bentley etc.
