I've seen a couple Z's on those cop shows before... "World's Worst Drivers" or something like that... one of them was a white Z31 that actually put the cops to shame for a bit. Then got his rear obliterated by the police car's ram guard.

But aren't those Interceptors like SUPER powered? I heard those cop cars got some mean **** inside of them, made just for out performing race cars.

Should ask Shady, he works on those things.

some highway patrol cars are just high performance factory cars.. all they do is chip cop cars... thats it... ive talked to cops when i was being detained... they were talking about there new cars and who's is better.. so i decided to get to the bottom of things... just a computer tune apparently

I saw the clip on TV too. "A white sports car in California led police on a long chase with speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour!" Did you see the cop hit the car at the end, even after the guy surrendered? Why???

trust me crown vics aint all that fast, they got 250 hp, and they weight in at 4000ish pounds in full trim. they arent areodynamic, so the radio is what makes them fast. i drive these all day long, and test problem the cops whine aboot, its fun, but the only diff between any cop edition vehicle and the stock unit, is rev limiter and the speed limiter. thats it, now you all know the secret.
