Yeah...because SSP's had that über Police Interceptor engine...they could outrun anything!

:shakehead

I guess it's the vinyl seats, the spotlight, and the blue coolant hoses that gave it the extra power over the standard LX 5.0?

So is it the new blues brothers mobile, or what?

My crownvic wagon has many of the same features as the police inercepter, including the heavy duty lower gears and traction lock.

Once upon a time when my car was still stock, I was coming home at about 2 in the morning (no drinking involved) and a truck pulled out behind me. I was going kinda fast and he flew up on my butt with his lights just killing me (shining right over trunk into mirror). This continued for about 4 miles till the turn came up for the road I live on. I live 4.6 miles from the turn and everything between is sharp turns and hills, all locals drive like their nuts on it, I'm a local :D. So I nailed the gas and shot through the curves going no slower than 80 and never saw the truck until this huge straightway by a cow farm. When I was at the end of the straight he topped the hill at the other end with lights on, turns out it was a highway patrol crash vehicle.... I pulled over, got REAMED. I kinda fired back at him about tailgating and his lights eating me up, and that I thought he was a drunk. I got chewed for a half hour but no ticket. He thought I was a drunk and I thought he was a drunk, go figure lol.

this is why i hate cops, they pull stupid BS like that all the time around here, ESPECIALLY in the expeditions.. they'll get right up on my bumper with their high beams on.. then when they pull you over, they make special effort to shine that stupid spot light DIRECTLY into the mirror on the driver door, blinding you and giving you a migraine before he even approaches the car.. they flip sh*+ when you use your hand to block the light from your eyes.. jersey cops are super a-holes and define the police-definition of pig

Very, Very fast? Not really. They weren't really any faster than any other stock Mustang of that era.

every state is different.. while your mass. cars may be stock, the jersey high speed pursuit cars definitely are not.. i know a few of them have vortech's strapped under the hood, while the rest are running healthy FRPP crate motors

We have a couple of sting rays a chevy dealership loanes out to the cops, local and highway. I've see a honda civic they use to get people to race on state street. One time I watched a beat up geo metro pulling over people in a construction zone. A lot of the drug and gang units drive cts's and escalades.

Weird...I fly by cops going 15 over the limit all the time....I usually get a smile. Now I did get into trouble with my escort wagon...one night decided to use a nice 5 mile straight away to see what it limited at....was doing 100 when I flew by a white car in a field access drive. I knew it was a cop and that it was either pull over now, or try and run through the now half mile away twists and turns. I pulled over before she even put her lights on and got a long warning and a ticket for 75 in a 55 lol. Another time I was using a loaner(grand marquis with the 4.6) my parents had while their car was in the shop to go to a funeral...shaken up I went for a cruise on my way home. Some prick was doing 10 in a 25 and blocking the two lanes on my side of traffic...so when I got a chance I punched it past him....doing 55 past a cop. Pulled onto a side street and by the time I came close to the next turn the cop was right there so I parked it. Got a warning.

I don't believe it. If that's so then they certainly are not as delivered SSP Notch cars.

They can and do however, use recovered/confiscated cars how they see fit.
