LMAO Top speed run on a lift. I can get to 140 in about 3 seconds on a lift. Good to see a Crown Vic can get up to 60 in 5. LOL

Those things are dogs. Call em how u see em. Dogs. They can probably possibly be fast... LS3 swap, weight reduction, yada yada... but stock with boltons... LMAO Prius territory.

We own an 03 P71, they are a few steps up from a Prius but are not competition from anything modern putting out decent power.

That being said, they make a helluva fun roomy DD with the shift kit and 3.73s most have. Not gonna win any races unless it's against ricey econobox, but respectable for the land yachts and little 2V they are stock.

anything with a 2v 4.6 is a turd.....hell the miruaders with the 4v motors were only mid to high 15sec cars stock. LT1 Impy's would smoke them.

Yeah, it's got a few tweaks including a PI intake. Did a best of 14.6 @ 96 in cool weather, low 15's in warm. 3880 lbs with driver.

^ that has a lot of weight reduction. A stock Vic weighs 4k+. The one in the vid is almost 4200 and my Lincoln is 4100.
