German Shepherd Posted August 14, 2005 Report Posted August 14, 2005 I know I will proally get laughed at for this and called parinoid but after seeing some aftermath on a ride along and what can happen in an er I am looking for an extremly safe car. I was wondering what years the crown vic got the 5 star frontal crash test and what the side rating was and what year they did that. I spend alot of time on the road. I am looking at a used police package version. I was wondering if those prisoner screens improve roll over and side impact protection? Is the crown vic very safe or should I just get a volvo? I am also looking if they make any type of special seat for the driver with those special quick release safety seat belts. I dont think I need a puch bumper. I just want an ultra safe car. Any info is greatly appreciated. Quote
racer Posted August 14, 2005 Report Posted August 14, 2005 you call up a fab shop and tell them you want to be NASCAR approved. youll be safe from everything then, $40,000 later. Quote
German Shepherd Posted August 14, 2005 Author Report Posted August 14, 2005 I dont want to go crazy with it. I just want a safe car but doing it on a budget and not spending alot of money. If nothing more I will just keep the setina prisoner screen in it and add some type of seat belt systel. Thanlks Quote

Cotton eyed Joe Posted August 14, 2005 Report Posted August 14, 2005 Do a google search. I found head on offset crash footage for Toyota, Chevy and Ford, and thats the order they finished in. The Toyotas drivers side door could still be opened (after a 40 mph offset) and the Fords TAILGATE was bent after a head on. Quote
dogboystoy Posted August 15, 2005 Report Posted August 15, 2005 You need a 5 point harness in the drivers and passenger side, shit,, get all 5 seats with a 5 point harness. weld the seats to the floor boards (in case the bolts break off), get that foam system they used in that movie with Stallone and Sandra Bullok. Youll be set. Quote
German Shepherd Posted August 15, 2005 Author Report Posted August 15, 2005 Who makes a good 5 point harness? Are these decently comfortable to wear? Can I use the factory seats? Thanks Quote

racer Posted August 15, 2005 Report Posted August 15, 2005 welding your seats to the floor isnt a good idea. if you afraid your bolts are going to break step up to G8, or better yet an F911 alloy bolt. deist, crow, simpson, and stroud all make some great belts. look to sparco, beard, or crow for seats.
