GOING WITH THE CAPRICE 👍🏾OWN ONE ☝🏾

187,000 miles on my Crown Victoria transmission and it shift very smooth no problems at all.

Ok, sir. Ok. The Mr Random FHP replica with signature is actually an impressive touch. Hats off to you on that idea. And bless your sweet wife. She has to be one of the most patient ladies to not only put up with your shenanigans but also assist in them!😂👍🏻I'm actually considering one of those replicas.

Mr random you’re sleeping with the enemy boy !!! Crown Vic is going to be legendary in 20 years from now

I got an Impala SS that still runs like its new, so imma have to go with the #caprice. Love the panthers tho

The Caprice used to dominate the Crown Vic back in the 90s. But nowadays I guess the Crown Vic is still much more relevant than the Caprice easily because of the body parts. Anyway both cars are legendary and cool as hell ! 👍

That 9C1 trunk is so big that you can fit its complete 8.5” rear axle in it. I’ve done it! 🤣

Hands down the 9c1 caprice wins that vote lol.... & I have owned both cars no debate 😏🤣🤣🤣🤣

LT1 POWER is like no other

If you ask most older officers they would tell you they want their old Caprice's back with the 5.7L LT1 Corvette engine. The Caprice's you can still get pats for. In Illinois we have two of the these still i use to this day. One county in Illinois had two of these they kept and still use

I’m going to take the 9c1 Caprice

I'd say the crown victoria wears the crown for a reason. I drive a p71 everyday and I love the smooth ride... Love the videos Mr random, they answer alot of the questions I use to wonder.

I like how those cars rock side to side when revving, much more noticeable in the 9C1

My department still has one crown Vic with 166xxx miles on it and I picked it as my patrol car and everyone scratched their heads why I loved it so much. It still peels out at every green light and it’s the P71 version so she loves to go quick, hell I beat a 21 explorer with no problem in it!

Deep love for the Crown Vic but Chevy has to take the wind for this one

My 2007 Crown Victoria Lx is extremely comfortable 😌

I’d say p71 for mild build daily driver---9c1 for project car because of its enormous potential versus the p71. Oh, and as a drummer, I used to haul my drums and other music gear around in my p71. That trunk will fit a 22”kick drum just fine. Better than some SUV’s in fact😎

This is the calm comparison test. The hardcore one was by Roadkill😂

Lol you know what’s crazy as soon as you said the weight of the caprice I said hey that’s almost heavy as my car and my eyes lit up when you said 90s Explorer right after lol just happy to hear my car mentioned

Having worked for a municipal police dept, between 1998 and 2000 when we had both of those vehicles in the fleet at that time (Caprices were sent to surplus in 2000), the Chevys were in for service more often and longer than the Fords. That reason is why we dumped the Chevy; low reliability and high cost of repair. When I started we had the Caprices with the rear tire covers; pure junk compared to the Ford and the agency quickly began switching to the Fords in 1995. The Ford was cheaper and faster to fix which was important to us fleet users. I'm not sure where the transmission comments come from; after I worked for the municipal agency I went over to the state patrol and at both agencies we never had transmission problems/reliability in the Ford. I think you have to keep in mind the trans was hammered during its in-service years; foot to floor driving all the time. I've put 300K miles on original 4R70W in Grand Marquis with zero problems. So it really depends on how it lived its life. Most of us found the seat in the Chevy to be inferior to the Ford; too flat and wore out quickly causing you to sink in more each time you sat in it. The Ford's seat was more supportive long term.

I drive a caprice everyday and like the size and overall comfort 🙂 so I’m gonna go with the 9c1

The buble caprice just looks better in my opinion...I always loved them plus they have LT1 in them

Should have done one for fuel economy and best lap time! There’s your tie breaker

Nice job to you and wife on the replica

Good vid Mr. Randoms, proud Crown Vic owner and I love them things, but damn that 9C1 is nice too, love the depth in those wheels. I'd be happy to have one, and I think the fact that a lot of people in general would be much less aware of their police history would be a kind of nice added bonus. Definitely enjoyed that old Roadkill episode where they compared the two of them too.

also, shouldn't it be a comparison between the Caprice and the 1st gen crown vic? it would seem more fair

I love them both! I am gonna have to go with the P71 because it was in production longer and there is so many dang parts available. Mine has 318k on it and still runs smooth and plenty of power and .........here is the kicker! ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION! Shifts perfectly I think I just jinxed myself with this comment lol

I owned a 92 Caprice and I currently own a 99 crown Vic. I prefer the Vic, because it still looks modern. Caprice looks ancient. Edit: I actually prefer the looks of the 80s Caprice over the 90s. Anybody else remember Steven Segal from back in the day. Geno and his brown box Caprice was legendary! " Anybody seen Ritchie???? Anybody knows why Ritchie did Bobby Laboe??? You want my badge? You see this, this badge is your trophy. I'm going to keep coming back here until somebody remembers seeing Ritchie." Out for Justice is the movie, for the younger audience.

I live in Finland and had a 1991 Chevy Caprice Classic that was sold new here with the "police suspension" I got the car in 2009 with 170000miles and sold it in 2020 with 220000miles, I got a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis with 21000miles in 2018 as my new daily driver. Its funny how basically similar these cars are but yet different! The Chevy was so much bigger and the trunk was insanely big ( I did not even have to fold the stroller to get it in :D. But the Chevy and Panther platform cars arereally different to drive. Both are easy to work on and parts were cheap on the Chevy and easily available in Finland when they were sold as new here, Ford, Mercury and Lincolns were not so they cost more and are harder to find. In the Chevy I had the 305 TBI with 170hp and the Mercury has the 4.6l V8, I got the same fuel economy on both cars. I had a 94 Z28 Camaro with the LT1 and if it has been maintained badly it will be a bitch and the water-pump and optispark combination sucks, however the LT1 is a wonderful motor! On the Caprice you have basically to manufacture some body parts from scrap, there were replacement body parts available but there is no more... I love both of these cars, they are fucking awesome!

9c1 , is cool lt1 v8 . P71 isn't bad either . Toss up here .

woop woop, it's Mr. Random!

P71 wins all day everyday!

well looking at service life availability of parts (and the recent remobilization due to vehicle shortages) i would go with the good ol crown vic

9c1

I really get tired of hearing 129 MPH Max for the Vic P71, my 08 went past that easily and it was told to me by a South Bend Indiana Officer that these cars could be tuned for different department needs and he told me how he had been on several pursuits and knew that top speed varied from other Vic's that were in their fleet.

Having both, the 9C1 is more fun to drive.

the transmission lasts longer if you dont treat your vic like mr random

The only difference you need to know about, one is a Chevy, and the other is not!

As a 94 impala owner I have to go with the caprice. I will say most reliability issues are from an incorrect diagnosis as well as the opti spark always being blamed for the problems that are often much easier to fix. Either way I enjoyed the video!

Dogged the caprice, luv the Fleetwood tht i still own but very expensive to maintain. P71 takes the lead with the most intimidating fear factor, most aggressive looking, stang provoking, reliable even under neglect, & off road capability. The vic has never failed to amaze ppl & stand out like a bad sore.

I'm hyped for the racing video!

P71 is best as parts are readily available and inexpensive. An extremely reliable car.

I have a 94 4. 3 liter Caprice and it's fast too. All gold and in good shape. Over 200 k on my transmission and still smooth. So I go with the Chevy

wery nice and informative video Mr Random ,i love my p71 1999-model ,cheers from Norway

I love them both, but I'd give the tie-breaker to the GM side for only one reason: I want a station wagon.

I have an 82 C20 Chevrolet truck with the 1992 9C1 engine in it. Truck was originally was the first year of the J-code 6.2 Detroit diesel which was the model known for the blocks cracking, in which it did in 1992. My dad was the fire chief in our town at the time and an officer wrecked a brand new 9C1 and my dad bought the car from the city and put the engine in the truck. It won’t run like it did in the caprice but she will get down the road. Not sure what the truck weighs but a two post 9,000LBS car lift will not lift it off the ground.

My '95 LT1, 9C1, B4U, Dessert gears, Texas Hwy Patrol, All Day Long!!

Damn, you see how fast he was? So damn fast I bet you can't even see him get out of the Cruiser.😯😏

Call me crazy but I’d love a P71 with the bull bar, some off road tires and 15 inch steelies

I love them all but I prefer the Caprice

Love the Caprice so much I’ve been looking for one for 2,3 years at least one that is rusted out. I might have to settle for a nice VIC😂

Hey I just got a SCT FLASH SCANNER DO I CONTACT MARTY FOR A TUNE ??? Scanner was 350$ have 5 unlocks left but there no tune on it i factory reset it didn’t want the tune the person had on there I want Marty tune

Great video ! I would say Crown Victoria for the win because of a longer production run and parts will be more available. I still like the Caprice Classic though because I have owned both cars Ford and Chevy over the years .

My wife's friends son wants a CV for his first car. And recommendations for a good transmission swap for future reference? TIA

I drove both extensively in the 90’s. There was no comparison to the performance of the 9C1. In fact, when the new Fords came out, the rookies got stuck driving ‘em because no one would give up their 9C1. The opti was a terrible design and the Caprices were badly rust prone. Nonetheless, they ruled the road in the 90’s IMO.

I'm glad I have a p7b ole #prettyvicky tops at 141 "allegedly"

Hell yeah the back seat of the caprice reminds me of my dads 58 chevy. Also how hard would it be to replace a rear quarter-panel on my Grand Marquis

That Chevy is one big boat anchor drop that deserving engine into a little Nova or an SS or something. And of course I vote for the Vic because idrive1. I've driven many of squirrelly Chevy in my day positraction or not and this Crown Vic is the most stable vehicle I've ever had the pleasure to drive. I've driven one a lot of years now before that I had three Lincoln's and I lived in Snow Country in the mountains talk about your country roads. Never had a more stable vehicle in my tire life and I am an old hot rodder.

Muy buen video. Me gustan mucho esos carros 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Just got a 2011 P7B Ex Long Beach Ca Car , The Crowns my vote .

Buddys got a p71 with original trans and 210k miles on it. Also ive seen people put cheap mods even even cheap turbo and make 470hp we also see how they nake nitrous in the freedom500 and all the youtube vids. Ive also seen same mods heads and cam and they make good power

Both cars is a beast

Nothing beats them LT1 caprice, fleetwoods and roadmasters. I still regret selling my 95 LT1 Fleetwood brougham

Just a follow-up comment basically I had not watched the video at the time but I've never seen any of your videos having a intro spot with what you're selling I believe in what you're doing and I love exactly what you're doing true fans would actually stay after the video to watch what you're selling and I would probably buy what you're selling if I was into Panthers as much as you you did a video on eclipses and I think that's how I found you I recently purchased a 2006 GT and fell in love with it Superfast I own a 95 Eclipse Turbo G St and it is modded it is extremely fast but I think the eclipse automatic GT is a little faster

Caprice - iconic 90s police car Crown Vic - iconic 2000s police car

How can I contact you to buy a crown vic police interceptor?

Love my 93 caprice.

Gonna have to go with P71, just going off of what he listed, not only does it have more trunk space, it's also way more modern looking and I could find parts super easily. I'm eventually going to buy one as a nice street project. Not too much power but good sound

I may be a little bias since I have an 07 p71 but I'd have to side with it idk just because it's awesome to drive and reliable and easier to maintain and beat on

I've driven both as an officer and for reliability the Crown Vic Wins hands down. If you want power and speed the Caprice wins hands down but the agency stopped using the Caprice because they cost too much to keep them running....when you beat on a car full throttle day in and day out the Caprice could not stay par for par with the Crown Vic which rarely required anything other then normal maintenance/oil changes.

I'm going with the crown Vic ...... The caprice is gone with the dinosaurs but everyone including small children fear the crown Vic

Lol when he ran up on the camera everything was jiggling.

I actually found this pretty interesting lol i guess being that my dad was a cop through the 90s and 2000s

Im CVPI ALL TBE WAY BUT I LOVE CAPRICE TO . BUT FOR THE MOMENT CVPI

Owned lots of vics, really want to find a caprice

Hey I’ve got a question. Would you recommend something like a 4 door car with a v8 or a mustang for a first car? I just want something with a v8, but I’m unsure of what is a good deal in today’s world.

P-71 for me. Loved the 1 I owned.

I want a newer caprice with 6.0 in it so bad. But like you said in the previous vids, im scared of trying to find parts for that unicorn L99 engine.😞

Crown Victoria for me simply because of the part availability. The Chevy is cool. Wish I could find one close to me.

There’s a 9c1 in a abandoned car lot near me just sitting with the for sale sign still on it

Crown Vic hands down for the win

The Crown Victoria has ruled the roads way longer than the Caprice, so hands down the Vic wins.

Where is a good place to go for crown Vic s / police fleet car if you are from a random state like western KY.? I know about auctions thought we Ron them in security and private investigations. Love the videos brother! Simone🤙

I think that last scoring was bull the caprice clearly has a better exhaust note with a much deeper tone and it's also much more intimidating sounds like a wild animal ready to eat with that primal growl

I would love to have a caprice but can’t really even find one in ok shape

MIAMI what you doing Brother..Great video Dude.

I got both cars I love them both

I own a P71, but the LT1 has the best sound all day long.

I Have A 1992 Chevy Caprice Classic And I Love That Car With The 5.7 Small Block Yes Sirr

I'm a Ford guy, so I'm taking the CVPI, but if te Caprice had the Chevy 6.0 I'd pick it.

I want one of those fhp vics u make

Could you do an episode on the Pontiac Bonneville

Mr.Random…what’s the long term plan for the 9C1? Do you want to sell it after you have gotten all your content from it?

I want more footage of Mama Random building that diecast

The Caprice one if you're watched the very end launch it was butter

So um can you point me in the direction of the newer caprice interceptor from Australia? I just replaced transmission in one for winter springs police department it's a beast of a 6.0 LS series car 😂

Both are great cars. Love my 2007 p71.

Honestly I love both cars because I've owned both. I'd say the caprice is a better car but I Really, Really am not a huge fan of the Lt1 if it were any other better chevy 350 small block maybe. In my opinion I'd say a close tie. Parts are more readily available for the p71 platform so that's definitely a win for Ford. I don't know it's like asking which one of your kids you love more! Lol great video!

Great vid. 🔥🔥🔥

I love my 95 caprice both have been in this world for a long but ill give my point to the caprice because its near the extinction list and for a little something I heard from a cop where I live he said "the caprices were the best car to have fun in compare to the crown vic and wishes to drive one again." Right there says a lot and hopefully someday he'll get that chance.
