    5.0 Top Speed Stock

    I admit it; speed freak! Does anyone know how fast the 5.0 will go just by removing the limiter and putting on speed rated tires??

    That's a good question, I wonder how fast they can go. On another note I was thinking, Ford should revive the Police Interceptor Crown Vic and give it the 5.0 V8, way more power than the old 4.6 3V V8, and better efficiency. Any thoughts?

    Those are awesome. We had one of those on my base (small priority A restricted area) and some caprices then of course hummers. Then they took it away and replaced it with a Taurus. That thing was a dog compared to the Vic. Even the crap caprices did 144 and left the Taurus lagging behind during call outs.
    I'd buy a new police Vic for sure.......let's hope they heard you rhino.

    They were great cars and very reliable, just underpowered was all. But if they dropped the 5.0 in it that would solve that problem lol.

    Yeah I've seen the new police Taurus but all I see around here is the Crown Bic's and Chargers. And they need V8's, not turbos lol.

    You guys remember star wars when they are shooting at the exhaust port to blow up the death star? (Funny what one remembers.) "Stay on target". I figured some fool took the limiter off, topped off the speed and had a number. I've googled a lot and no one is talking. I have a guess. My truck is totally stock and I think it would blow right by 130mph. Good thing it has a limiter. I'd really like to at least get good guesses at the top speed.
