Crown Vic cop cars, P71 Panthers is their model number, are on a lot of hot rodders list of cheap cars that would be fun to buy. And there are plenty of cool parts and mods for them that make them handle, accelerate, and brake better than they already do.

Not from a performance perspective, but from an image or personal perspective? Does everyone on the road think you are a cop? Is that a good thing?
Watch this video and laugh, because there are a few details you might now have thought of.
