Yeah those cop cars are slow! Ford offers an interceptor package which adds a DOHC Cobra motor (320hp), but even those modded Crown Vic's still can't run under 7s to 60mph.

One car which State Troopers use to patrol the interstates of VA with are the Chevy Camaro Z28's. 5.5s to 60mph, and 1/4 mile of approx 13.8 @ 102mph. I saw one pull over a mustang GT the other day - the cop must have been doing 100+mph when he wizzed by me to chase down the guy. The pick-up on those pushrod V-8's is amazing!!!
