- WOT run almost to the speed limiter and coasting down to a slow stop.
This car is completely stock except a K&N air filter and has just over 103,000 miles and under 2,200 Idle hours and still smells like a brand new car inside.
Top speed is about 128mph on the limiter.
My favorite Crown Vic so far.....
Very cool. Just got my 2008 CVPI five days ago. So far only seen 110 but it was still pulling hard at that point. Enjoying this car a lot so far.
Dear lord do I miss this car, such a solid well built piece of American machinery
I have a 2010 and I see videos of folks saying, "these aren't, AT ALL, fast".
My car does 128mph...easily.
It weighs...PLENTY.
It's fast enough.
My 740il (oddly enough) was exactly as fast
(albeit, governed).
Again; fast enough.
I have NO need or desire to travel at 128mph, beyond confirming those numbers.
I have.
Fine.
...Now I know AND....
...128mph IS fast.
Anything faster is...faster.
Ok, Fine.
My CVPI is far more useful, durable AND reliable than ANY sedan (plus a couple pick-ups) I've owned or driven, maybe, EVER.
I work in this car every day (HVAC service).
It has thousands of miles of use each month.
THOUSANDS.
It has 207,000+miles currently.
Nothing is broken on it.
Everything works on it.
It drives beautifully, handles well stops RIGHT FRIGGIN' NOW, is comfortable and... makes me MONEY..
I owe NOTHING on it so that makes it a TREMENDOUS asset (emphasis on 'tremendous' for good reason).
I WILL own more.
I will ALWAYS own at least one.
It IS as close to the "perfect car" as I've seen.
By today's standards, they're not fast. They also have cheap build quality, and don't exactly have the nicest interiors nor a very comfortable seat. They're slow. Not even talking top speed, but overall acceleration. I own two cars. A 2019 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, and a 2014 Kia Forte EX Sedan. The Mazda makes 320lb ft of torque just off idle, and hits 60 in 6.1 seconds according to Car and Driver. It's limited to 134mph. Gets 24 mpg average. 14 speakers, and a chassis that is awesome.
The 2014 Kia hits 60 in 7 flat, and limited to 122mph. On the highway, it's definitely hitting 35-40 mpg depending how fast I'm driving.
Both of my cars are faster, safer, better to drive, and relatively reliable.
No, a Crown Vic is not "fast enough". When a modern economy car from Korea can out perform it on just about every level (g force in corners, acceleration, gas mileage, interior fit and finish) then it's time accept that's it's time to face reality; it's seriously outmatched by EVERYTHING else on the road today.
I'd like to add, I'm watching this video because we just bought one for local spectator drag racing and I wanted to see how it runs bone stock (the one we picked up needs a bit of work but who cares it's gonna get beat on anyway). It's certainly not a car for daily use. Just my two cents.
@@jamessteven526 Cheap plastic is stupid easy to clean, the floor is usually vinyl, easy to clean. The seats may not be the luxury seats of the Grand Marquis or the Town Car (both are the Crown Vic underneath the badge), but those seats are plenty comfortable to sit in. Also note, this is a 5,000 pound car that pick itself up and go to 128 MPH without struggling. It is not underpowered in the slightest. It holds true by both police and civilians as one of the most reliable platforms ever produced. Also no car has the same safety standards as Ford's PI cars, with reinforced components to have the car hold up to 75 MPH rear end collisions without causing any serious harm to the occupants of the car. These aspects make the Vic stand out over your Tupperware covered Kia. Also a well cared for engine in one of these cars will do 24-26 MPG highway with a 20 gallon tank. Now you can be entitled to your views, but these are not platforms to poke around at when it comes to reliability, durability, safety and size.
@@jamessteven526 you got issues bro.🤷♂️
I hope my '03 GM can last as long as yours. I'm afraid of the transmission and intake manifold breaking.
Oh, that glorious sound.
Thank you for this vid it’s actually helping diag a noise I’m concerned about
Ah yes, the real cop car.
The Crown Vic.
There isn't another police cruiser that sounds as mean as the Vic, it may not be super duper fast like the new Ford interceptors but still my favorite cop car.
even the new ford interceptors aint super duper fast, most departments dont spend the extra money to option the ecoboost, most have the cheapest engine optioned because of budget limitations and wantng to buy more vehicles for the same price.
My favorite is the Caprice with a 350. Does not matter which one but I really liked the last of the Quadrajet fed ones and the LT1 powered units.
Now imagine doing this at 03:30 (that's morning) trying to get to an active 911 call of a husband shooting the wife and son, now looking for the little girl hiding in the barn whispering on the phone to the 911 operator, and you're the only deputy within 100 miles, and you're still 45 miles away... You're cursing that the car won't go faster, and every time you glance at the gauges as you've been taught to do in a highspeed situation, you see the gas gauge has dropped another couple of 16ths... And it's July, but the A/C is blowing hot air because you're at W.O.T. which kicks the compressor off to free up a few horsepower... So you open the front windows a little to at least get fresh air, but the noise and pressure on your ears is like being inside a tornado because the prisoner partition right behind your seat makes the frontseat space as tight as it would in a regular-cab pickup truck, and you can't hear the dispatcher of the sound of the siren and wind...
Typical scenario for a rural officer on any given night. Remember that the next time you see a cop, especially a Deputy or Trooper who have to cover hundreds and hundreds of miles per shift. It's a thankless job, and society would collapse without them.
* meant to type "over the sound of the siren"
lol
Gas it up before you hit the road! 18 gallon tank, maybe 10 mpg at 120 mph, and if they're only 100 miles away, you shouldn't have any issues running out of gas. And you *shouldn't* need to be driving more than 120 mph in RURAL country any fucking way. You chose to be a cop, and we respect that, but your complaints about this car are bullshit. If you forgot to gas it up, you're own idiocy would be the reason you couldn't make it to the scene. Not the car. Because at least this 4.6L won't blow up on you like the shitty Dodges will when you constantly mash the throttle. Don't get me wrong, I support the police, at least the good ones, but dude you have no idea how many cops I've spoken with who HATE their Dodge Chargers and wish they would have kept their Vics. Or gotten the Taurus instead of the Charger. Fuck Dodge. 👌
The most stone aged car sold in the early 2010s and im all for it🤙
The flat spot hits hard af
Isn't it always fun to push a Crown Victoria to the limit, especially an ex police car? I see you reached 122. The sound of the 4.6L Modular V8 is cool. But, I miss the older, more raw sound when the Crown Vic, during the '79-'91 years, had the 302/351 WINDSOR V8. I used to drive a '89 LX. By the way, there will never be any more true police cars these days, since the legendary, sturdy Vic is sadly gone. Body on frame no more.

Aint nobody can argue with that statement!!!!!🚓💦
I always think it's funny when somebody is critical about what speed I say my cars can 'do' and what speed they see they 'see' on my video,as yet I don't see any of them doing a video and probably never will🤷♂️ROTFFLMMAO !!!!!!!
I use a garman GPS and a Speed Gun Doppler Radar System calibrated with a 100 MPH tuning fork to accurately measure how fast my cars go.( Confused yet? look it up.) All I got to say is; "If you want a car that knows all the tricks,... stick with the Crown Vic's!!! (My quote,but feel free to use it 😉👍)
I'm on my third. First was an 85 (civilian). Second, which I still have is a 97 (civilian) and the third which is the daily driver now is a 2010 (previous stealth cruiser).
@@skeetermcswagger0U812 umm yeah i can the caprice was also a body on frame with alot more power...
i rode in both and the ford was a joke. smog v8 equals nothing.
@@chehystpewpur4754 I agree with you on everything except I don't understand where the part; "....smog v8 equals nothing." fits into this comment?🤷♂️ And what exactly were you responding to?🤷♂️
( I have actually driven almost every model police car made in the past 20 years with the exception of the Australian built 2011-2012 '9C1' Chevy Caprice Police Pursuit/Holden Commador which was and still is the fastest of modern 4 door production 'Pursuit Certified' police cars but unfortunately they proved to be unreliable.)
I don’t have the guts to do this on my own Crown Vic so I can always watch this to get my high speed fix lol
You could go to a race track but you'd have to find one with a really long straightaway!!!!🤷♂️😉
Man, my dream car that I wanted so badly wasn't going to be a Lamborghini or an EV (those "cars" suck), the car that I *really wanted* was a Crown Victoria. I loved the body design and the way it sounded! The only thing that I came close to was a 94 Dodge Ram V8 Magnum. That thing sounded like a beast! The truck was a family treasure: some idiots drilled into the tank and stole gas, so we plugged a corkscrew into the hole the decrease the leak, and it took us from an empty lot in Fort Worth to a motorhome in Terral, Oklahoma (currently 70 miles approx.) Even though I sold that truck to a friendly couple, I still have an emotional attachment.
Although, the Ford Crown Victoria will be the car I want to buy in the future.
It's not that hard to get a hold of one cheap, just watch what you're getting into and make sure you buy one that doesn't smoke or have any gears slipping in the transmission and hopefully has some maintenance records on it.
If you can find one that fulfills all of the above and you take care of it it'll take care of you!!!
3.55 rear gear governed out at 122-125 mph. Have the same set up in my 2010. Only now I’m tuned and speed limiter is removed. Have never opened it back up since then.
Holy shit.... I want one! 😝
Did you know the last full calendar year the Ford Crown Victoria police interceptors were popular in the law enforcement field was 2016? Production model years 1992 to 2011.
"2 guns two chickens scene"
Love the way this engine sounds, though this probably burned four gallons of gas lol
With a trans-go shift kit I get a 60 mph WOT 2nd gear shift, with 3:73s it happens way quicker too and tops out at 144 off the limiter.
A shift kit increased your overall top speed?
@@skeetermcswagger0U812 Off the limiter, the ECM has the limiter disabled.
@@jimmartin7881 OK,well depending on the year you better watch your driveshaft.......
@@skeetermcswagger0U812 Yes, I have a MW setup for 1350 u joints. I'm just waiting on a trans. yoke from them. I have a Vortech that'll be going on after we're done moving. Hopefully the bottom end and head gaskets stay together while I'm build something stronger and suited for boost.
You have to get you a stage 2 AFE cold air intake and better mufflers if you still have police tune you should see over 140 in my 2005 P71 I had I did that and it had the 3.55 gears, I would manually shift it with overdrive turned off, 1st gear 55+ 2nd gear 95+ drive 140 and then I still had overdrive...
Let’s have a moment of silence for the crown Vic’s😄.
Cha swoooooooop !!!!!!!
Looks like you need some 3.73s in there!
My 2010’s total mileage counter has a little decimal for every 1/10 of a mile. Mine says 76252.4 instead of like yours. I wonder when they started doing that.
When you pass 100,000 miles the decimal will disappear to show full miles only. The decimal and 10th will still be visible on your trip odometer.
@@glenngoetz3054 your trip odometer also acts as a diagnostic reader.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌🤘🤘
I kind of miss back in the 2000s 10-20 years ago when these things were being used as cop cars.
I was surprised it shifted into it's final gear before the 100mph mark. Mine will go to around 106-110 then keeps pulling hard. I have yet to only top out at 129mph like everyone claims.
I don't think it ever went into overdrive on that run.
3.55's?
Get yourself a 9c1 my 95 gets upp to 127 so fast before the limiter kicks in.
Must be different gearing than mine , but responds very similar to mine , I have a 1/4 mile acceleration video
... I looked up that video and I guess I'd watched it quite some time ago already and yeah that's a good to know the 1/4 mile times on your cars.
I used know all that too but I'm selling most of mine cars because I don't drive them much anymore.
Just down to a 2006 and that 2008 right now.
@@skeetermcswagger0U812 Right on , thanks for checking it out , The vics are fun little cars
@@midgetmayo yes they are!
@@midgetmayo maybe not little.
103k miles on that thing. That not bad for a sheriff Vic.
Yeah thanks,it was a supervisor's unit and it was super clean inside and out.(something you don't see everyday, and it smelled like a new car when I picked it up with 89,000 or so on the clock.)
@@skeetermcswagger0U812 oh damn. Oh you got a good one then. Real hard to find really clean ones like that.
We don't need to know that it's a retired Ventura County Sheriff supervisor Unit. It's just a crown vic.
CVPI was induced with a supercharger?
No,...not this one.
Do all Crown Victoria have that little hesitation at 3800-3900
Yup🤷♂️( Unless you get a decent tuner......$$$)
Every one of them I had that was a 2004 or newer had the hesitation 2/3 thru 2nd gear, but the older cars that have the cable throttle don't have that hesitation at all.
friendly reminder to put air in your tires :D
Thanks but I've got a different set of rims and tires on it that don't have the TPS units in them so I pump them up to 100psi and it won't turn the light off.💁♂️
@@skeetermcswagger0U812 Huh. Have you ever thought about taking it into a shop or checking the sensor? Your sensor could be having issues.
@@jenniferweatherford298 Not all wheels have sensors,..the only way I could get it to shut off is if I were to have it flashed out of the PCM.
But I just put the original wheels and tires back on it when I was done playing,,nothing more-nothing less.
@@skeetermcswagger0U812 Oh, Really? Then your dash light could just be on forever. Call it a decoration LOL
@@jenniferweatherford298 I give up
So I saw 124, but I guess you had a cushion of 4 to go. Sounded good.
Yes you saw correct,just as I said; "almost to the limiter of 128" I was coming up on cars and ran out of room. This car is not my fastest but it will do between 126 to 128 when I have a place to do so.
@@skeetermcswagger0U812 Try taking the limiter off. If you're lucky, you might reach 145 or so.
@@LITTLE1994 Um and you know how to do this?
@@LITTLE1994 ROTFFLMMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🤷♂️🤦♂️🚓💨
@@LITTLE1994 Take your time I'm waiting for you to look it up (with all my free time playing video games and drawing cool pictures of my self with crayons......)for you to look it up on Google....or Game Boy.....
And if you want a car that I'll go over a 120 in reality let me know,
I have several for sale.....real cars.

Oh Yeah!!@

That's what she said!😆👍
When I had mind, I had it over 140 racing a Mercades S550. It was a blast. I must’ve e had it going about 145. Oh, and I beat him. I got in his bumper, drafted him, and passed him.
Oh yeah you probably had to hit the brakes really hard because you were gonna go 170 if you weren't careful cause your car was so fast.....🤤
He was playing need for speed 😂
Only 2200 idle hours is very hard to find on these
My 09 CVPI only has 1200!!!
@@roberth912 nice. That’s extremely rare.
@@mattcox3373 it was used in Texas on the highway mainly. 1200 idle hours 174k miles
are these gas hogs? I've been eyeing one up to buy but I'm nervous about it eating gas as it would be my daily driver.
They have about the smallest displacement V8 engine you can get so if you don't drive it hard they do pretty good but if you're heavy on the pedal or you're commute involves a lot of stop and go traffic or long uphill grades, it's also a 4000 pound car so it's gonna start eating at your wallet under those conditions.

What about it?
I've never run E85 and anything except for my 1968 Ford LTD 390 interceptor....
The flex fuel models could run E85. Not entirely sure what year Vic's started to introduce that option. I wanna say around 2006.
