Hey all. I've been away for a LONG time. Haven't been on the forums for like 6 months now. But im back
I know i have discussed this before, but i can't find the thread.
What type of engine does the Police Interceptor Crown Vic (police cars) use? Also what are their stats and hp ratings?
I debated this with a few kids in my Lincoln Tech (automechanic school) the other day and heard some INTERESTING remarks.
- I thought the Interceptor engines were a 4.6L SOHC engine, rating about 280 hp.
- Another friend from said that the police use Cobra motors in their crown vics. Because he said hes seen them pull HARD on the highway going fast and they just keep on goin at high speeds. So assuming this kid was right, that would put the police cars up to 320hp, which i was PRETTY sure that they don't have. Plus i have worked on cop cars with my DARE officer when i was younger and i dont remember a cobra motor being in them.
- a third kid (and an idiot LOL) says that the police cars use Corvette engines. He said that the CROWN VICs (not the camaro aniv. edition, mind you) that his friend (who is a cop and told him this) use the corvette engines.
I told him unless its a 2000-2 Camaro Z28 or SS, it isn't going to have an LS1 engine in it...especially not in a Ford car none the less. This would also put police interceptors up to 350hp with those LS1 engines....which i know the crown vics dont have.
So can someone, maybe some of you police stang-netters out there, clarify this dispute? What engine does the crown vic police cars use and whats its 1/4 time and hp rating?
I was pretty sure my GT would beat a cop car from a roll and especially from a dig.
