How much better are the transmissions in cop cars compared to the civilian versions?

Are they set to shift at different RPMs or are they just tougher or what? Are they set up to accelerate faster? I would like to know.

It would be cool if they were manual but whatever... How much better are the transmissions in cop cars compared to the civilian versions?
same basic tranny, just has a shift kit put in it to change the shift pattern
One difference is that cop cars don't have governors.



Civilian cars do.



These are places in cars to stop the engine from going over a certain speed. Many people remove them, but the general public doesn't know about them, so that helps the cops during a car chase.How much better are the transmissions in cop cars compared to the civilian versions?
Cop car's are specially built for the police force, they have Turbo and Supercharger's built in for speed, the entire engine is built better than a regular car.
They are the same trans, they just beef up the motor, and change the torque converter, which will change when the car shifts, not to mention the trans in the police interceptors (crown vic's) are pretty durable as it is

most police cars are just the same you would buy at the dealer.

some police cars are called "interceptors". these are high

performance vehicles and are usually equipped with more heavy

duty motors and transmissions and suspensions.
The police interceptor package equips a vehicle with trans coolers in addition to the shifting programming as mentioned.
