yes you would win most def. To put the crown victoria into comparison with a car i would say a Ford Mustang Cobra, or Saleen depending on the year. The 98 models are the fastest with the blacked out grill

Get the new issue of Sport Compact Car. They take all the Police cars from the U.S. and test them out. There you'll find out which you can run from straight or lose on curvy roads.

the majority of cop cars have little or no engine mods, mainly suspension, least thats how they are around here... we have a police interceptor motor in a tahoe, and it'll turn a set of drag slicks though

Well there was a chase online not sure where it is but it was a M3 a 16 year old driving and he actually got away. But then the cops found out the next day where he lived and came to his house. It was pretty cool

The Police Crown victorias come in "packages", therefore you can have a supercharger put into the crown vic. but that will cost alot of money. The most common police crown victoria is called the Police Interceptor which has a re-tuned suspension, brakes, radiator, larger tires, dual exhaust from cadaylac converter etc.

Its retuned to be ran harder the normal crown victorias

Hahaha....

*Remembering the time my uncle tried to outrun the cops in his old Datsun...We (me, him his wife and three kids) were coming from out of town and my uncle was speeding. We were coming through Wilmer (a small town outside of Dallas, Tx) and a cop flashed his lights. We were on the freeway, about 7 cars length ahead of him when my uncle decides to to exit off to the service road. Big Mistake! We get to the first intersection and like 10 cop cars come from both directions. My unc stops and the cops get out with their guns drawn telling all of us to put our hands up. They come and ambush the car and cuff my uncle and take him off to jail and my aunt drives us over my grandmas where they all go to bail his silly *** out* I was only about 10 or 11 and was scared sh*less.


Ah the good ol days...

ever seen that movie "Cannonball Run" I love that part when the Japaneese were in their black car and hauling about 200 MPH at night with NVG's (Night Vision Goggles) and pass these cops eating dough nuts. They have the radar up and they hear this vrooooooom, and look at each other like, what the hell was that, then get a confussed look, then commence eating the dough nuts. Always wondered if anyone has ever done that for real....
