It was a 390 with a c6. I do not know what gears they were, I replaced the chunk a few times from hot rodding it.
I have a couple of crown vic stories.The reasons that the cops settled down in those situations was because I was a recovery agent pulling people out of there houses while everyone slept.
I have to go now but I will tell you about out driving a state trooper when I get back.

he was in a cvpi and so was I, so it came down to the driver.
the chase only went for on about 1 minute.

Sorry, i know im off (current) topic.. I enjoy Nascar more nowadays than F1. Does anyone think the breakaway series will stick? I kinda hope so, think FIA got too big for its boots. Also to my American gun nut friends, please cherrish and look after your gun rights. Here legislation makes it darn near impossible to get one LEGALLY (Long list of legal requirements and background checks). And then they turn most applications down!!! Imagine waiting 2 ore more years for a firearm application. Yip thats how it works here. However it doesnt prevent our voilent crime rate to decrease, on the contrurary.....
Hope my spelling didnt gave offence, English my second language...
Cool thread, take care,

No, it's a **** poor imitation of the UK version. It's the Clarkson/Hammond/May humour and charisma that make the UK one so watchable, otherwise it'd be just another car show.

It's not as funny, the trumpet playing needs to stop, just because there is a jazz musician, doesn't mean that he needs to be playing the damn instruments in every episode.

ive always been told it was actually a 4.9, not a 5.0.
Like most auto makers though, (especially mercedes and BMW), they give the engine name something a little bigger than what it really is, case and point, the SL63, it's actually a 6.2 V8, not a 6.3 like the name says it should be, same goes with some of their smaller models, C class, A and B class, it's a very common thing.
BMW on the other hand always amps up the name to what it truly is, like the 525, it's not a 2.5 liter, its actually a 2.4, all their model numbers and engine sizes are amped up to make them look bigger, stronger, and better.
in reality, BMW are over priced, underpowered, Taxis.
