ok ok i really want a nice car or a fast car....

should i
A: save up for a used police interceptor

B: save up for the 4g63t swap.

and how much did anyone that did the swap spend total

_________________

just to get the car running, you probably only need to spend 1300 or less with all new fluids and etc. but that doesn't include a intercooler, mount upgrades, metel head gasket, and other supporting mods. but i personally havn't gotten mine running and i have spent about.......1500+ or so, but that includes brake upgrade, intercooler, pipes, hump cups, clamps, custom motor mount, total fluid change, new hoses, cloder plugs, turbo xs bov, dejon tool intake and intercooler pipe kit, k&n fiter, boost gauge, mbc, gm maf maft, and etc.....you get the point. dont need all that but its nice to have supporting mods.

Without the Motorola. How many PP Crown Vic's or Caprice's were actually fast AND could handle.



How about NONE of them! There too damned heavy, and ragged on.
Do yourself a favor and forget about a PP auction car

I second what Mr. Hyde says there, I drive Police cars to and from the dealership all day. I have ridden in original Crown Vic's and the Police package and their is nothing different apart from the heavier suspension, more expensive (albeit them nearly indestructible rims), and large tires. Their is no performance gain other than shift points and maybe a taller top gear which you can really feel when it drops into top gear at 70 KMH, you feel the motor go to sleep ..... Well suffice it to say that with the same people I drive home in our shuttle bus, naturally their must be a few policemen (and women), and they all say the same thing: "How can anyone want to buy a vehicle that is turned on, driven hard, taken over curbs at 50 kmh and then gets parked, awaiting the next person to jump in and do it all over again."

Take my advice and don't get a vehicle who's service life is 100,000 km's or 60,000 miles (or higher) and is then forced to retire; they retire for a reason, no unlike being too much hassle for the department to keep them around.

Police car is fun, but heavy and your parent's won't like the video's you and your friends make with the car either. My two pennies.

It's nice to have a rolling sofa, but alass to sell sucha thing of beauty is even harder to accomplish because someone has to understand your vision and embrace it in order to work with what you have created. Trust on the fact that a swap is GOLD on resale to those that know nothing and want to drop oodles on a car that will make them the fastest goober on their street.

*Jumps off soapbox*

not to worry i gave up that idea when i found ou thow far the people selln cop cars are...o well back to the saving up for the konis/whiteline set up then onto 4g63t heaven( not dead engines but thew good heaven)
