Hey all,

I'm new to the forums here. I bought the taxi from the movie Taxi with Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon and just drove it in Bullrun, a coast to coast rally. Here's a link to the post on the Crown Vic forum about the build up - JPC Racing in Glen Burnie, MD did a custom Procharger install, NOS nitrous system, Art Carr Stage II transmission rebuild kit installed by Fisher Transmission, SP Performance rotors, custom audio system by DD Audio, fully Dynamatted, etc.

I'm looking for an '03+ body and chassis now for my SEMA project. I'm building an 800+ RWP road rally car - it will be reliable enough to be a daily driver, have all kinds of goodies like police scanners, laser jammers and radar detectors, a cooler to store drinks, and an extra capacity fuel cell.

I figured that some of you guys would have some valuable knowledge and input to share as we start this project. I'm literally starting with a bare frame and doing it all from the ground up.

We have a ton of people that know about what you have in mind. Wish I could provide you with the info, all I can say right now is this.... I don't think 800 rwhp can be a daily driver/dependable no matter what car. Good luck though and congrads on your purchase.

800 can easily made daily reliable, especially with a modern computer controlled engine. Have fun, it sounds like an awesome project.

I'm from CVN. But now I have a Marauder instead. How is your build coming along, and when are you racing?
