Those things are fast. I drove the cab version many times in SF, slightly longer wheelbase, I think, and those suckers surprised me at the speed and power from a large Detroit sedan. I just read that they had 4 wheel discs, I recall excellent braking.
The engine was SOHC, the cop version not significantly more powerful but enhanced, oil cooler added, other small upgrades. I've often thought I could be happy with a police Crown Vic.
For a teenager I would go with the slowest Honda or Toyota I could find, manual tranny. Kids can get weird with speed. One of my clients bought a Tesla a few years back, they were talking about letting their daughter have it when she got her license at age 16. I went onto thin ice when I advised him to think twice about that. He said he had been reconsidering that, was thinking some kind of Toyota. I don't think a 4 second 0 to 60 car would be good for a teenager. I recall the 17 year old girl who piled her father's Porsche up at a road toll booth.
