Yeah what I heard was the older Impala's had LT1's...? I've always assumed this, but I guess it could be wrong. I know the 94'ish years of the Impala's basically had a LT1, but had iron heads and what not, so wasn't like the Camaro's 276hp.

Cop cars have heavy duty suspensions, heavy duty brakes, heavy duty cooling system, more basic interior (lacking carpet for example), lights, storage compartments in the trunk for forensics equipment/spare gear, push bars, basic steel wheels, disabled rear door controls (windows/handles). That's a basic list, but I'm sure you can use your imagination to see a hundred other basic things.

I just like how I read it on some website about the police interceptor, "4.6 v8 with an available 250hp giving it a quarter mile time of 16.6sec"

Heavy as an SUV with only 250hp..... but the radio waves do 100billion mph

common misconception. luckily you came across an internet forum that exposed you to the truth.

While were on the topic of truth, did you see this: https://www.vadriven.com/forums/show...wpost&t=223566 ?
