There's a company here in NE FL that some agencies have used to fix some of the P71's issues. They install a premium aluminum driveshaft & recalibrate the PCM. They also install a pan under the rear bumper to smooth the airflow & get rid of the high pressure area underneath the back of the car.. Basic stuff really. Stuff Ford should have done.
They also prepped all of the FHP Mauraders before they went into service.
Still, the fastest car FHP has ever operated in regular duty was the 2002 B4C Camaros.
They were stock except for the LE gear. The best thing they had going for them was the intimidation factor.
Most people who seem to run from a traffic stop seem to have a regular car or truck, & not a performance car. Simply because there are alot more 'regular cars' out there. When most folks saw on of those pulling onto the road behind them, they didn't even think about trying to make a run for it.
I honestly think that all the rumors about 200mph pursuit vehichles are good for police, since the average knucklehead will be even less inclined to make a run for it, even from a CVPI.
