Do they still put ‘interceptor’ engines in them? Our local deputy sheriff, AKA ‘Pretty Boy,’ drove a 1957 Ford with an interceptor engine and sometimes offered a local to drag race against him to get out of a ticket. I don’t think anyone ever got out of a ticket.
It's funny. The Crown Vic Interceptors (which ceased production in 2011) have a lot of different equipment from the regular models. They have a heavy duty cooling system, big alternator, different suspension, oil cooler, trans cooler, etc. But oddly enough, the engine has the same 250 hp as the civilian version.
They won't win many races, but they run forever.
