A little info here: A friend of cop of mine from Wisconsin says that the Crown Vics that they use weigh 4860 pounds fully 'dressed'. Subtract a couple hundred pounds of cop gear and they still out-weigh our old wagons. He weighed one of the new Taurus squad cars --- over 5k pounds. Cars are getting heavier & heavier every year because of out beloved government regulations. |
