I took my 1998 P71 Crown Vic Police Interceptor to the dragstrip last night to get some runs in. I knew it was going to be the slowest I ever went down the strip but I was really there to help my brother run his newly aquired 1995 Z28.
I waited until the sun was down because I had a suprise for the crowd! Since the car is slow, I wanted to at least give them a show so during my big smokey burnout I hit the strobes and wig-wags! The crowd went wild for that!!!
I was racing another forum member (04LS2goat) and as you can tell from the video I cut a .136 light to his 1.380 light and held him off to the 1/8th mile when he flew past me. This run was a 16.3 at 84 with 2.3 60ft.
My best of the night was a 16.2 at 85 with a 2.3 60ft. The DA was 1802ft and getting worse as the night went on. I believe that the police car would do a 15.9 or even 15.8 in good air but that's still slow . . .
I must say, it was nice not having to wear a helmet and I could have eaten a sandwich and drank a water, I had so much damn time . . .
