From what I was told by a female cop in training, the top speed of most interceptors is 150 miles per hour. Another friend who is a cop told me he doesn't recommend buying a used cop car from a government auction, as their engines are usually pretty worn out from all of the idling and hard acceleration they do.

Former police here: was outran once by a hellcat, I was in a Ford Taurus. Also I’ve never seen a police car with a run lock. My agency issued either 2 keys or a key and fob combo so that you can put one on your belt and leave one in the ignition. Also the keys were universal so if you had a Ford key you can unlock and drive any Ford in the fleet, whether it be a Taurus, Explorer, or Crown Vic.

I had a retired police car from Aspen, CO, a Saab. The front wheel drive was great in the winter and I drove it till the wheels fell off, almost. I just got tired of it and donated it to a local thrift shop, and with that giant hatch back they were using it to make deliveries. It had all the bars and places to attach police stuff but no police stuff. It was the original color, and with a ski rack on it people would immediately slow down when I got behind them. I have a Jeep now.

If there's *any* cop modification you want to have on your car, believe it or not, it's the *brakes.* I've talked to multiple officers about what the PDs want most in a car. And they all say the best braking possible. They want their cops to be able to stop fast, moreso than to start fast. The quicker they can stop, the quicker they can get out and do their job. And that made a profound level of sense to me.

All cars have the best braking possible though so this makes no sense. The actual most important thing is tyres they are what determines how quick your brakes stop the car the fact is if ABS can kick in then you have the maximum stopping potential the tyres will allow. You can giant 8 piston calipers and carbon ceramic rotors but they will not stop the car any quickers if you are still locking up.

@@gravemind6536 Well, without a tire upgrade, a brake upgrade can really help with brake fade issues.

I bought a 2008 Crown Vic that still had everything except the computer, lights, and police insignia. The cameras were still there, although I had to take it to someone to make it work. The coolest part was the amount of functional safety features such as a full length skid plate, rubberized fuel tank, and the fire suppression system mounted in the trunk. The downsides were that, while the emergency lights were removed along with the insignias, it still had the black and white paint job and spot lights, so people would always assume that I was a police officer and slow down 5-10 mph below the speed limit. It took much longer to get anywhere! Some parts are made specifically for police cars, such as the suspension and steering parts, and you can’t buy them at an auto parts store. You either have to buy them from the dealership or convert them to a more readily available part (although that sometimes costs more money because you have to convert related parts). Also, I was constantly getting pulled over so officers could laugh about how they thought I was a cop until they either never got a response on the radio, or noticed my license plate. It always seemed to happen when I was in a hurry, like on my way to work. I would buy another one, but I DEFINITELY wouldn’t use it as a daily driver again for those reasons.

I had a 2016 Ford Fusion and added blackout mode. It's used by police in order to be extra stealthy. Basically as soon as you turn off the ignition every light inside and out and all the chimes all go out with the ignition. You can also enable headlight strobing but not sure if that's legal.

I used to work in a small university garage that had a public safety department with 5 cop cars. The officers destroyed 3 engines in 2 1/2 years from excessive idling. The oil pumps barely put out any flow at idle speed so scored cylinders and trashed valve guides were the sad result. All the officers had to do was rev up the engines every 5 minutes to 1500 rpm and that would have solve the problem. But that was too much work for them.

@@Maredite I didn’t realize police cars sat idling that much. But I do know that can wreck an engine because I had a temp job delivering mail on a rural route around Xmas one year that lasted 3 months. Deliver to a box and then go hundred feet to the next. Repeat for 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Within a week I needed a water pump and after the 3 months the car was burning oil. It was a toyota celiac with just over a 100k, always taken care of. Could easily have gone over 200k if it hadn’t been for those three months of unintended torture. I had to part it out before 120k. Maybe if I revved it up between deliveries, I wouldn’t have had to.

It was what we call in Australia, a "poverty pack", like all police cars were or still are (?) here. This meant no optional extras. These were vinyl seats, no radio, no electric windows, etc. Oh, the only option that was ticked was aircon. It was my second car and I loved it! It was faster than a normal car. Transmission was stronger and shifted quickly. (Squeal tyres going into second). Everything an adolescent shouldn't be driving. It had the range of a motorbike. At less than 200km (120mi) I was looking for the next fuel station. Next car was a 1989 red 3.9 litre EA Ford Falcon wagon ex Western Australia fire department, with a range of 700km. No problems with either car. Former was traded for the latter because of fuel consumption and the latter was stolen. Anyway enough of my nostalgic rant, but you did ask.

@@theyweredeadwhenigotthere1391 a guy I work with, who's early 30s same as me, comes in what seems like once or twice a week how he would blow passed a radar cop at 120+ and they would give up 5 seconds after they flick the lights... Edit: not sure how he's not in jail or dead yet. Michigan drivers suck and helmets are optional here

The Ford Interceptor has threat detection, with 360 sensors. If it senses someone coming up, it rolls the windows open, locks the truck, alerts the driver and starts the car. And all kinds of other small items that you can turn on in your explorer via Forscan. Also they come with a full accessory wire harness from the factory with dedicated fuse panels, rated fuage wire, full signal wires (like tach, 12v-off, 12v-on,12v-running, 12v-accessories, dedicated alt, breaks active, engine&coolent/tranny temp, speed, gps/accelerometer sensors), all lights with secondary input, i.e. if you send a signal to the head light wire, it will take precedence over the factory, so they can strobe and disable all factory nights. It's insane the tech that comes on the new interceptor. The newest Gen explorer platform is amazing for an interceptor. And the explorer intercepter is actually completely different everywhere then the explorer consumer. From door size, panels, seats, dash. They look the same. But nope. Ford actually moved some interceptor tech to the consumer model because it's just awesome.

A local traffic cop got the idea of using a very old Crown Vic ghost car to rejoin the fleet. Hugely successful. No one expects an old faded, dented car to be a police car.

LOL... I almost got busted in Utah by a cop driving a blacked out Charger, unwashed and with round shouldered tires. Traffic was bunching up into a pack and ramping up to 100 mph like a nascar race. I decided is was safer to be in front of the pack of cars so I got out of the pack and sped up to around 115 mph in my Volvo, I got about a quarter of a mile ahead of the pack and noticed that the charger was keeping up with me.... and then.... red lights in the windshield LOL. Of course I stopped. I explained to the cop exactly why I was going so fast was to get far enough ahead of the pack to create a safetey buffer between me and the pack. Fortuneatly... I was in uniform for my own job as a driver. I had all of my information available and insurance right where I needed. The cop let me go, but he said.... next time just leave home early. LOL...

Well, you can outrun a police car no matter what your driving, the most escapes i've seen was by motorbikes, the main thing that helps you escape is your tactics, as Dominic Torreto said- “The only thing that matters is who is behind the wheel.”

Very true... (you can't outrun a radio) well my uncle always told me that even if it's your vehicle in your name the cops can't prove who is driving it without pulling you out of it. Otherwise you can play dumb. Even if it doesn't make sense. They can't prove anything if you got away. And he outran cops on and off his whole life up until his 50's. So up until around 5 years ago. It's definitely possible.

I bought a white 2008 Crown Vic (in 2012)ex-patrol car from Long Beach. The guy I bought it from was an active officer that ran a side business, lot near Hollywood, with about 150 Crown Vics that he rented to the studios as extras for the movies (cabs or cop cars). He also cycled some stock out which he sold to the public. When I shopped for my car he told me that rubber floored vehicles were patrol cars and carpeted were for detectives. My car was very predictable, handled the a champ. When I bought my ‘17 Ram 1500, I gave it to my niece as her first car.
