    The crown vic... The car you can hear from 10 blocks away. The car that can be seen 5 miles away. The car that every non car person thought was fast. The car that has the most unique and satisfying door slam noise. I love the crown vic and will miss it.

Its a shame they ceased production, and most of the remaining ones are being driven into the ground, or destroyed. This guys CV is exactly what Ive been preaching for years.

I also made rear control arms and Watts link arms with Heim joint ends for the rear, made a HUGE difference in the handling. He is going to really have fun with some more power. I have the same throttle body mods with Comp Cams XE262AH cams, some head work and 3.90 gears, and it is a blast to drive.

  • @RidinDirtyRollinBurnouts
    @RidinDirtyRollinBurnouts 6 років тому

    It shouldn't come as a surprise that a Crown Vic in good condition can make a great track car. Its handling is very similar to a mustang, and is not all that heavy for a four door, just around 4000, and wouldn't be hard to shed some weight either. It's one of the last cars with a leather couch for a seat and a big steering wheel which make it feel like a boat. With good racing seats and wheel, combined with good tires I would not be surprised someone made a fun car out of one.

    My 93 is similar in that it's a momentum beast. It could use the rear axle suspension upgrades though. Hawk HPS pads on mine and give it good stopping power. I did leave in the interior though, because LX. I only have 3.55 rear gears though so I'm not revving as high on the highway and I can run Texas highway traffic (80+) all day with no issues. Mine does have the newer engine swapped in from an 03 Towny too with Magnaflow from the manifolds back. It sounds nice and has great seat dyno. The e-fan mod also helped the seat dyno. Mine dyno'd at 230hp as well with 274ft-lbs.

      I know... I wish I could swap a coyote into mine... but those aren't quite as easy to find in yards yet... and even when you do, they don't wanna sell them for the same price as a SBF or SBC. For now though... it's nice enough and will tow 5000 pounds (with weight distributing hitch) without issue if I need it to. Yeah... I added some of the cooling mods to mine. F150 dual core radiator, large plate trans cooler, e-fan. It does not overheat even pulling 2500# at 75+mph. Doesn't even break a sweat. Trans temp stays at about 125 and coolant temp is the same as when I'm not towing anything.

      If you add the cvpi/maurader airbox, and cvpi tb, with a tune, you should see a bump up to 250chp.

      I have an AFE stage 1 intake already... but the stock 2003 Lincoln Town Car TB. I wouldn't get the CVPI TB, I'd get the ADTR one. I would also need a larger zip tube. I do have a tune for the setup as it was with a mechanical fan. I do need to get it retuned though.

    I bought mine “new” on may 2011 its a base model 2011 norseablue with light camel interior not a p71 < u won’t see it other than gulf countries its between the p71 and the LX but with a rear air conditioning like the town car and a light camel cloth interior its basically a lx but with cloth interior and standard air conditioning but it comes with p71 shocks and springs and to tail pipes
    After the warranty passed the 5 years mark i started modding it
    Now it has
    Afe cai stage2
    Steeda underdrive pulleys
    EGR delete
    Long tube headers
    Custom cat back with xpipe and magna muffler
    3.55 rear gears and lsd
    Moath ford performance tune < local tuner at my country.
    Note. The last one they made it was a base civilian and went to my country.

    Best kept secret for a family car is 2003 and newer Panther platform cars. Safe, durable, ez maintenance.. basically a lifetime car in non-rust belt areas. Even if you drive 50,000 miles a year a new Panther would last over 10 years before engine overhaul. Transmission and front end somewhere around 250-300k in taxi applications from my fleet experience.
    Literally best sedan ever built, ever.
