Speaking of Crown Vics check out the May 2008 Muscle Mustang & Fast Fords.

They have a 2000 Crown Vic in it with a Supercharged Lightning 5.4 with a Tremec TKO600 5 speed.It looks kind of weird with the top of the supercharger sticking out of the hood but the car looks cool otherwise.

Later Mark.

I think the CV is a cool car too, a great sleeper. But really, really slow compared to my 96 Impala SS. I think Ford should have had a 5.4 option in the CV or at least the police interceptors should have had 5.4's in them. Then they would've rocked!

Those LT1 Impalas weren't exactly blistering fast either. A late model Crown Vic Interceptor or a regular Vic with the performance package ain't that far off a big ole Impala, maybe a couple-three tenths worth in a 1/4 mile.

Very true in stock form, but mine is far from that

Hmm than it's possible it was the same one. It was at a car show in Orlando a month ago.
