Yes out in America some officers slightly modified their mustangs(and were reprimanded for it too). If an agency modified the car any way mechanically(headers, brakes, motors, etc), liability dramatically increases. If something happened, like upgraded brake failure and the car rear ended another car causing injury, the department could easily be sued and would lose. CHP is strict on the no modification rule. Even sub frame connectors would be a no no.


These Mustangs are well known for reaching speeds of 130-140 mph.

I have a 92 GT. I haven't had any braking problems, brakes perfectly fine, and handles corners with no problems at all. Of course it has the slightly bigger disks, but still.

I'm sure Ford would have been sued if these cars have had the rear drum lock up issue you describe since they were new as someone would have been injured. Have you redone the brakes? Brake shoes most likely are adjusted too tight. Also, Mustangs do not have Anti-Lock brakes. Of course they are going to lock up if you stand on the brakes.

I'm not trying to bash you. We're just trying to tell you that departments would not swap in new suspensions or modify them. We are a site of preservation and restoration. I'm not opposed to internal motor mods, but when you swap suspension to something newer, the car will not have it's same look. When I see a modified SSP, I don't generally care for it(there are a couple that I really like though). Ruins it's respectability IMO.

Unless you can make contact with every owner, you can't prove that the modifications to the car were put on during it's service life.

More than one FHP Trooper told me that his Mustang had a chip in it.

Anything is possible, but we like to verify and document before taking claims at face value.
