    Also a good way to get arrested for impersonating a police officer.

    They are great cars, mine has tinted windows, push bar, inmate cage, light bar and cop radio.

    The 4.6 is the same as any other 4.6, just with an oil cooler, and power steering cooler, true duel exhaust.

    Have fun with it, but don't be stupid, remove the cop stuff.:thumbs2:

    was told lights are good for a show car but if i put the divider in it would be impersonating a police officer. car has a blown head gasket and something is wrong with the transmission. has a windsor in it still. oh yeah. sold the edlebrock off it so It's lacking carb. anyone wants it all they gotta do is come get it

    ground fx and tire flys are illegal here. distraction to other drivers. but there isn't anything wrong with time having 5 percent on all their windows. a heads up to those who buy ex patrol cars. check under the dash. mine had a toggle switch to kill the tail lights. that sucked till i found out.

    its a 2v 4.6, its rated at about 230hp 275tq. its pretty much a mustang GT engine but i think it might be cam'd and computer tuned a little diffrently

    nah, theyre not all that. alot of people think they were built to the same spec as the maurader, with the 4v heads and 300+hp but thats just a myth.
