Yeah so I was on my way home from work just now when I get pulled over by a state trooper. Hes like I saw you were all over the road, I said I thought I heard somethin from my trans so I was slowing down.

Anyways so we start bsing about cars, I showed him my motor and stuff and hes like man thats cool. I was like this is the second time I got pulled over by a state trooper just to check out my car lol.

So we leave and we were at a light together and he starts doing a burnout lol. I just start laughing my ass off, at the next light hes like, yeah you like that huh?!?! I couldnt stop laughing....:rlaugh:

figured it was worth posting lol.

I asked him if I should hes like no no no lol.

Nah I was just bsin about the trans problems, I was really slowing down to light them up to bounce it off the rev limiter b/c I never have lol. I ended up just doing it later on and man does it sound cool lol.

edit- yeah it was a little wet out.

Crown Vic? He must've been power braking it - they won't turn a tire on dry pavement w/o holding the brakes on...

Ummm..... noooooo. If I turn the TC off on my 04 CV Sport, I can spin the rear tires at will at low speeds. The OE tires (Goodyear GS on civilian models and RS on the PI's) have some of the worst traction I've ever experienced. Also, a lot of CVPI's come with 3.55's rather than the 3:27's I've got, so it would be even easier for them.

RS-A on the pursuit Vics. We sell some to the county and state ports authority here.
You know they do not repair any of the tires on pursuit cars. They surplus them. Dont care if they are only an hour old and the nail is in the middle of the tread. It gets a new tire.

I got pulled over in a car I just put back together a few years back.....well, he let me off...and then proceeds to do a neutral slam and spins the tires and takes off......at the light...he looks over and said.....Can you do that?? I'm like...not exactly but I can spin the tires....

I drive a 05 CVPI daily at work, it has the rsa plus tires and I cant even powerbrake and get them to spin (trust me I've tried!) I have the 3:27 gears in my car to boot! Ford manufactured these cars for traction and they have plenty of it!

Yeah that sherriff burning the tires off is Bob Skillicorn. I went to HS with his daughters and worked with him at the Huron Co. Jail in Norwalk. He is definately one of a kind. That pic was from one of the Roeder Harley Davidson functions where he was on duty. I think I have that pic somewhere at home.

As long as we're talking about a 99+ CVPI, then it's pretty easy to get a tire spinning; if it's one of the non-PI-headed pre-99 cars (like the '94 CVPI I used to have), then you'll need to stand on the gas and hold the brake to get any fun out of it. Additionally, full-time traction control came standard on the '92-'97 models, so getting a decent burnout from one of those was a MAJOR pain to accomplish ... unless you pull the main ABS fuse from the underhood power distribution block. :D There's a button on the center of the newer 98+ models that's a toggle switch for traction control on some models and a trunk button on others - I can't remember off hand if the P71 (police/taxi) cars got the trunk button, or if that was for the P72 (civillian) models...

FWIW, those "pursuit" Goodyear tires are CRAP. Hard as fuggin' rocks. My '94 CVPI came with a fresh set of those things, and I used to spin the crap out of them all the time without really meaning to, especially if anything vaguely resembling moisture on the road was present (this being when I had the ABS fuse out, of course) ... and they STILL lasted forever. Had to put a set of Firehawk SS20's on there to make it grip at all.

I've only been pulled over once by a cop here in the notch (Maricopa county mounty), and he was pretty cool about it. He noticed that (at the time) I had some seriously oversized rear tires, which explained why I was doing 55mph the whole time I was in front of him when I thought I was doing 45mph. No burnout from him, though - he was driving an Expedition loaded full of police whatnots on a bone-dry desert summer day, so I think it would've been a bit tough to accomplish. :D

I doubt Officer Friendly was driving a Crown Vic Sport. He'd be driving the Police Interceptor version, referred to colloquially as a PI or P71. And it would be loaded down with the usual police equipment.

I've driven dozens of P71s in police trim, and own a 2001, which is bone stock and carrying no extra weight (no lightbar, pushbar, cage, rifle+rack, radio stack, junk in trunk, or even a spare tire). A loaded cruiser can barely hit 100 mph on a slight grade, and will not spin the tires from a dead stop. Maybe not even powerbraking, although I never tried that in a patrol car, just my own. Maybe a CV Sport has shorter gearing?

I love my CV, but I wish Our Father Who Art in Dearborn had given it the guts of an LT1 Caprice...
