Deuce 1 #38 January 16, 2004 No doubt. As I've told anybody who'd listen, the best cop car EVER MADE was the94 Chevy Caprice. I may be wrong about the exact year, but that was the year they gave us a Jane version of the Impala SS. Vette drivetrain. Oh God, that car was sex on wheels. 140 easy, great brakes, very little body roll, easy to break loose in turns in a very controlled manner. (grin) I blew up a lot of cars, which probably factored into why they retired me when they could have waited. Skydivings gain.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #39 January 16, 2004 Yeah, drove one of those Impala SSes once...noice very noice. It had nice power and you could flat fucking push it into the turns. For cop cars, nothing beats the very hotrodded Camaro's that the Texas State Troopers have...holy shit. They set off car alarms when they just cruise by at a very low RPM.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Well I'd agree, but a cop car can't be a Pony car, be it a Camaro or a Mustang. Gotta be able to carry all the guns, gear and prisoners to qualify. Otherwise it's a pursuit car. Yeah the ponies are faster, and handle better, but the Cop cars were so much fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #41 January 16, 2004 Yeah, that's a good point. Its got weapons, its got speed, but the perps have to be tied to the roof.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FFF sadly... you got it wrong. 104+ is only good if you get it comressed... via domes and/or small chambers, or forced induction. now alcohol (not the drinking variety) meeeee loves the smell of alcohol in the am.! I miss it so. My baby WAS a 79 Malibu. 406 small block w/ 327 camel humps and flat tops. deck was milled to .05, I ported the heads super huge (actually had to put material back in). a 305, .525" lift cam. couple that to a turbo 350 w/ a 4000 stall converter and a chevelle 12 bolt, Moroso brute strength posi, and 4.56 gears... and you had 10.21 at 101 in 1000'. on pump gas(93 octane) and a 10.5" slick through the mufflers. AND I still had the A/C on the car ant working (but no belt, for some reason it went flying at about 6600 RPM) damn i miss that car. but I pity the poor bastard that owns it now!Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freefallfreak 0 #46 January 16, 2004 Dude, I hate to tell you this...but I got it RIGHT...I've owned this machine for a long time and KNOW what I've got. It isn't a WAS...it's an IS, and I've driven it almost as much as I have driven my truck which just happens to be almost every day so think what you want to - this is a real machine. I run it on 104+ racing fuel and it performs beautifully. FFF FFF "Upon seeing the shadow of a pigeon, one must resist the urge to look up." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
