Go take the mustangs and push them off a cliff.
If only I still had that Caprice. Memories . . .

I don`t know , sounded pretty sure about everything else in that post... I used to have a 86 Mustang GT, and my experience/memory is slightly different. I`m going by what he described, you know, crying Ford owners, going home in disgust.. that stuff. Seemed pretty sure to me.. So how far was the race ???
PS, Whats even more troubling is the idea of hanging your own or anyone elses kid , over a car incident. A gallows, Man...is this Sunday...

What did the "police package" have that made it so special?? I remember.... HD cooling, HD suspension, oversized tires, slightly larger brakes, calibrated and certified speedometer, dual exhausts from one converter, rear gearing was selective by the dept. ordering...but generally slightly higher numerically (unless it was a highway car), rubber mats instead of carpeting, and choice of seating...with a heavier vinyl material. The engine, if I remember correctly, was the same as the trailer towing package...350, 4 barrel.

Even though it was designated as an LT1, it was seriously detuned to 260 HP. Now that kind of HP in a 4000 +# car does not strike me as hauling booty. I mean HP to weight ratio of 1 to 15+ almost puts it in a bolt-on modified HHR class with 1 to 17.
Not if you are talking of the specially modified package started in 1996 when they added another 40-50 "ponies", that is a totally different story. But, these vehicles are few and far between (a lot of the blocks were picked up for rebuilding).
And as I remember, the ultimate performance was dependent on the rear end ratio.....City departments generally ordered the 3.73 (but a lot of 3.43's were had)....highway departsment, in the know, ordered the 3.43.
I laugh alot, when people talk of the "police package". Frankly. it's generally just a little more than a towing package. The major differences ....interior, tires, etc. And, anyone can order it, if you know the RPO (I had 2).
