A visual cue to the police package is the dual exhaust. So there are some
small hardware differences.

A Crown Vic Police Interceptor is not really a performance car. It's
got basically the same engine as a V-8 Mustang and considerably more
weight. 0-60 times are in the 8 second range. True, the speed limiter
is raised to around 130 mph, but there are much faster cars out there.
The differences between the civilian Crown Vic and the PI mostly improve
handling and allow it to sustain top speed without overheating and idle
for long periods without draining the battery.
