Re: Ex-Police crusiers?? (Capital P)
Ever notice how ex-Police vehicles have cloth seats up front and vinyl seats in the rear?
Now you know why.

city of toronto auction coming up soon, you can pick one up at the cne grounds. nothing beats a car that's been driven 24-7, pissed in, bled in, puked in, vomited in and of course shat in

there used to be a couple of places in south Toronto along Queen St. E, there was one just east of Broadview on the southside near the library, a real dumpy looking lot, and then further down near Leslie besides the Duke Tavern there was a place that advervisted ex-cruisers but I don't know if they're still around or actually carry any, they were mostly various colored Crown Vics, might or might not have been actual cruisers.
There's alot of debate as to whether cop cars are actually souped up at all, from what I've read of those threads they're just standard issue Crown Vics with better suspension and more heavy duty parts, crash bars, but no serious power upgrades. Anything fancy would have been most likely removed or salvaged since the police work on their own vehicles at their own garages. You're better off buying a used Crown Vic or Caprice from a regular dealer? Just my 2 cents

Popular Mechanics had a article years back comparing the Interceptor to the regular crown vic,
IIRC The police interceptor was actually slower because of the HD suspension and Brakes,

Re: (chuque)
When I got pulled over on the 407 last fall, the cop told me another 8 kmh, and she would have hit her speed limiter. I believe the persuit cars go faster, but I think they're in limited supply, and don't let the wimmin drive them.

she was lying to you
Police cars are built for durability not Speed
remember you may be able to outrun a cop car but you'll never outrun a radio

check with insurance before you purchase, not sure if all companies insurance used cop cars.

Re: (PrupleGTI)
I never mentioned what speed I was doing. Without that information, you have no basis to make that claim.

Everytime i drive by there I tend to slow down because it tends to look like theres a cop with radar out
