David, I was just goofing about the hood not adding speed. And your comment about not modding it to the point of no return will be appreciated by the members here. If you go to the
main page of this website, the mission statement is pretty clear -
"Dedicated to the promotion, protection, and restoration of the 1982-1993 Special Service Police Mustang."
It doesn't mention anything about hot rodding SSP's. The comments towards you about looking for other forums means that there are other sites where modding cars is at the root of their existance. But this site is geared to promoting the SSP hobby as the cars were used in-service. So there is a lot of information here about these cars.
As ImEvil1 stated, don't be put off when you hear a backlash from the majority of members about modding your car. They're passionate about preserving these cars, that's all. Being able to learn my SSP's history with the CHP through documentation made me change my plans for the car (I bought it to drag race). Now the research and restoration process have added a new aspect to my enjoyment of the car. I hope that you are able to learn more about your SSP, and can unearth its unique story.
