As already mentioned there is nothing really special about any "interceptor" Ford Crown Vics. I few tweaks here and there mainly for durability (maybe heavier springs, higher output alternator, coolers, etc...), but no souped up engines or anything. The only "performance" upgrade I know of is they either change or eliminate the top speed limiter and therefore have a higher speed rated tire. A friend of mine (78Buford on this board) picks up old ex-police/government Crown Vics all the time for either daily drivers or to resell them and I believe he would say the same thing.
They may be able to go 145 mph, but I bet it takes them awhile to get there.
And as Sarge stated, it's hard to outrun the radio!
