A lot has been said about the Ford Crown Victoria for 2000. As Ford's entry in the sedan market the Crown Victoria (and in this case specically the Base version) has maintained a solid reputation. The 4-door Crown Victoria is especially appealing to wide market segment, making it a perfect car to help Ford as a brand in general.

Performance

The Crown Victoria Base is equipped with a Ford 4.6 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The engine is mated to a Ford 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Ford.

The Crown Victoria uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

The fuel system for the 2000 Crown Victoria is a SFI design, running on CNG fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 19.00 gallons.
