Steve it's true that police do get what's a police option, buts its only
heavy duty electrical,cooling and a suspension/tires package. If you pop
open the hoods of a cop car the engine is stock. Its possible that the
tranny is beefed up and possibly the rear end, but other than that the
police mechanics do any engine or computer enhancements. It maybe that with
OBDII that the police take the cars in to a shop to do a reprogram?

In some cases yes, most no. Police packages are available on the more
popular vehicles, IE:Crown Vikkis,Caprices etc. All of the trucks we
have, have the heavy duty type service groups.

Nope, my tranny just died at 10,000 miles and Ford is eating it. (96

Nope again. I can't even change the tires size/type on my truck. It
has to remain within as-delivered specs...other wise we run the risk
of violating warranties.

Good idea, but I haven't seen anyone that can outrun those helicopters
