Return of the Chevy Caprice Police Cruiser
What was that? The Return of the Chevy Caprice Police Cruiser!?!?!?!?!!? YES! You are correct!! America may not be getting the Holden “G8 Sports Truck / El Camino / Whatever else you want to call it” but we are going to witness the resurrection of Caprice in 2011, specifically for police patrols, and it is built on the same rear-wheeled platform as the dearly departed G8.

Officially named Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV), General Motors will produce the vehicles in association with Australian Company Holden Motors for 2011. According to GM, the Caprice will have a 6.0-liter LS2 V8 engine rated at an estimated 355 HP and 384 lb-ft of torque mated to a six-speed auto transmission – this compares nicely to 340 horse power HEMI Dodge Charger police edition, and kicks the ass of the Ford Crown Vic 250 HP 4.6-liter V8. We figure it will only be a matter of time before 2011 Caprice vehicles are being chopped on the streets of Philly. One Chicago jazz-&-blues musician commented on Caprice: “It’s got a cop motor, it’s got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks.”
bad things
1) public isnt getting out (so they say)
2) it should be on a new Impala body.
