my buddy is a pig now (lol)... and he agreed to race me sometime in his crown vic (the cop car)... i have the feeling hes going to walk all up and down my ass but im gona give it a shot anyhow... can someone tell me what the crown vic cop cars r running for hp and the engine size?

[HMUSN]

they aren't that fast..

i walked a vic with the interceptor package badly with my GT.

i think they are rated at 220-240 crank HP.(don't quote me on that though)

[HMUSN]

[HMUSN]

[jgrotkier]

I'm pretty sure they run ~15.1 in the 1/4 mile. Top out around 133mph.

[DragonFreak]

its gonna be way slow if it has all the reg stuff in it...add in the divider and all the electronics and stuff they keep in trunk its bout 3-400lbs

[Dennis]

yea i rode in one with a buddy of mine whos a cop and lead footed they are quick but not not that quick their heavy which is the main downfall you should be able to take it in a straight race dont sweat

[mustang1072]

i know i have a 6er but i still think i can take him w/ my mods

[mustang1072]

4.10, posi, exhaust, plugs, wires, CAI, X-Cal 2, short throw, tornado fans, i think thats it but im not 4sure i cant think right now lol, and very soon UD pulleys and a 50-200 shot

[TurboLX]

after researching the crown vic interceptors

there electronically speed limited to 120mph due to driveline failures at higher speeds.

Here's a pretty interesting article.

The police interceptor package tops out at 147, subtract 5 mph for a light bar.

Have you seen that in person?

I read a different magazine article (thats the one I was looking for when I found the one I posted) a year or so ago that tested the police interceptor crown vic and it maxed out at 132 or 133 I can't remember which. It was drag limited to that speed so I'm thinking that 147 number could be accurate but there is a lot more than just a light bar in a cop car; computers, cage, etc etc.

I have to drive them after i work on them and they are turds. haha.
