Police Interceptor?

Last night I was driving through town and I pulled up to what I thought was a normal Mustang GT (4.6L). It looked to be about 2003-2004 model. When I was sitting behind him at the light I noticed that he had no GT badge, but in it's place was a small plaque that said "Police Interceptor". I've never heard of one of these and I've been really curious as to whether it was legit or he was just a poseur.

Thanks.

Not sure about that, but here in Florida by 02, the FHP was using LS1's, the last Mustang was like a 89 or so.

Ya when I was searching I found lots of 89 Police Interceptors, but nothing so new.

They made one prototype of a PI in '03 I think. I've seen the picture floating around online. It's a 32-Valve 4.6 like the Cobra. It's got 2.73's I think. What wheels were on it? The picture I saw had some wider Crown Vic-esque black steel wheels with silver center caps. The car was also wingless.

**I just found the some pictures.
I found some pictures of what looks like a REAL car, not a prototype. The PI badge looks to be under the Ford logo in the back, not in place of the GT badge, and under the GT badge on the sides.

Well the one I saw looked nothing like that car. I'm pretty sure the guy just threw that badge on a stock GT. I've read about other people putting them on their cars.

Good man, I live about a 30 minute drive from THE freakin DSM tuning capitol of the world, Mach V Motorsports. Ohhhh the saturday mornings sittin next to the dyno listening to the beatiful music of the 4g63/4's and 420a's, and the sexy sexy whistle of the blowoff. Hehehe

Gotta love the DSM's

I'd love to find me one of them DSM's in nice shape...but they're rare
