    Maybe incase they are drafting the car they are chasing while driving downhill... A 99-04 mustang GT will barely do 140, and it has the engine the PI crown vic has. The crown vic is heavier and less aerodynamic I'm sure.

    I searched a few vids on youtube of PI crown vics. There is one 2003 model trying to top out. After 120 it accelerates about like a civic. It took like 20 seconds to get from 125 to 130, which is where it sat. The person who posted the vid claimed that this was not the top speed. He's probably right... another 10 minutes or so and it may have got 135.

    Wait, what? 140 in a Mustang? You sure about that?
