When you buy an old cruiser...do they remove all the cool stuff they install in the engine? Or is the engine still police-grade?

when you buy any old police cruiser the engine still has all of the performance upgrades that the police use. it comes from the factory that way it is called a police package and most cars that have a police package have a code that they add one to the ven number for my car it is 9C1 if you are lucky some times you can still find police cars with the light, sirens ect. like my old car still had the light bar on it and it is sitting in my gargle i but it on for parades and police car shows. i hope that i help

I think it would be illegal, but I would SO wait for someone to do something stupid in traffic and I'd hit the lights to make em piss their pants...

yeah its pretty much illegal but i am a member of a club called the police car owners of America and a few times a year we all meet up and get police escort around so area like last year we went to Indianapolis an did over 90 mph through town with light and sirens and we got to go around Indianapolis motor speed way.

Bitchin!

Just press R3 to enter Vigilate Mode.

oh yeah it was awsome

I'm in love with 1994-95 Chevy Caprice x-cop cars. There so easy to turn into an Impala clone and already got the 9C1 Police package which should be as good if not better than the "Super Sport" package on the real Impalas. 5.7 liter V-8 gonna eat gas like a mofo, atleast my old 5.0 BABY LT1 (LS1) did and it was a BEAST of a 1992 station wagon ;) CAPRICE woot

i love my caprice but mine is a 1991 it does not have the LT1 motor in in but it still has a great 5.7 liter V8 at about 200 Horse power stock but i don't plan on keeping it stock but i am have problem finding a cold air intake for it. oh yeah i think making clones of the impala ss is o.k if you do it right but a lot of the ones i have seen have been done pretty crappy i am not going to turn mine in to a clone but i am putting in an impala ss grill

cool, I've seen people do the 'clone' but instead of trying to make it look like a factory impala they do the SS grill which wasn't featured that yeah on the car instead. I've also seen SS emblems instead of the impala logo.

i am going to put the grill with just the chevy emblem

sweet, you'll definately be an unusual sight on the street, hopefully you'll find that cold air intake (i've thought I saw a few a few years back, course now its even older and I guess fewer vendors carrie parts...)
I can't wait to get my license back and be able to 'rent' a car legally (25 years YOUNG o_o) so yeah.

yeah i can't wait to get my temps so i can drive legally (yeah i still drive sometimes illegally) but i get my temps in under a month

Your power is great. But you are still outclassed in trunk space.

i don't thinks so i would take a pic of how big my truck is but my trunk latch is broken

Then I win regardless, sinc eI can open my trunk XD

hey i can open it but it will not latch back down

One day I shall have one too :p

Hopefully when they start retiring those Chargers they've been using ;)

I love retired police cruisers!

well you are going to have to wait about 2 to 5 years before they start retiring them, but if you love old cruisers then check out http://www.policecarowners.com/

I just missed out on a 2001 Crown Vic with only 129K miles for $2000 :(

Also, thanks for the link ^^

i hate the crown Vics and fords in general and no problem i hope you liked to link

Well then you should drive my Ford Focus ZX3, I would bet you all of my assets you'd think it's one of the best cars ever built.

I hate Ford and it didn't take me long to buy it.

Also, the Crown Vic cruisers are awesome.

first thing you couldn't pay me enough money to to pay a ford and the crown vics are good if you like dieing in a gait fireball when you get rear ended lol

lol, and what's so good about Chevy's other than they've been using obsolete technology in all of their cars for several decades? ;)

Also, I smiled when 'yota took over the #1 slot ;)

whatever you say but i think GM is years ahead of ford.

In some areas, though as I said, my ZX3 has much European engineering involved in it's design, and it is far superior to 99% of American cars.

But, despite my view on GM, I would kill for a 1994 Chevy Impala ;) Those things are still expensive and seriously would make wonderful cruisers :p

well o.k i get what you are saying and i love the 1991-1998 cruisers too

See? I'm not such a big mean anti-GM person ;) I like the Cobalt that you mentioned in your note to me, I also love the Impala (the old one) as I stated. I can't name a car company (other than Kia) that I adamantly hate, I guess I just responded because you sort of lashed out at my Ford :p

o.k i understand, i hate kia too
