A stock Crown Victoria from '96 had about 190 - 210 hp I think (I might be wrong, I'm more educated with the 5.0 and 5.8L panthers). In '98 they went to a much better cylinder head design, but like someone pointed out already, Crown Victorias are made for comfortable cruising, not racing.
They can be made to be pretty fast though. The '93 - '97 Vics were also a little bit lighter than the generation before and after it (something like 3800lbs!), making them the most ideal of the panther platform Fords for hot rodding.
I know of Crown Victorias in the mid 12's, but they are not stock.
DOHC makes a difference in the top-end performance of an engine. The 4.6L V8 in the modern Crown Victorias make ~230-240hp, while the DOHC 4.6L V8 in the Marauder makes 302hp. Only differences really are the heads (with the valves and cams and stuff) and the intake. An engine with more valves can breath more easily and therefore make more power (relative to the engine) at the top, while sacrificing low-end power.
I can believe that a stock Honda with a good engine (their V6 is really nice) can beat a stock Crown Victoria - especially an older one that has probably been beaten on and is losing compression.
