I wore out a few rear wheel drive patrol cars as a city cop and state trooper. I cannot tell you the number of roll overs and crashes I responded to as a Trooper in the winter in Idaho while I was driving a Crown Vic. Guys and soccer moms in 4wheel drives
Always the same two comments. "I don't know what happened" and "But I am a good driver, really". (Never mind the fact that they were doing 80 on black ice when they lost control ) Rear wheel drive Crown Vics with good tires would get to some pretty impressive places.
There is actually a video of some guy who took one up some climbs in Moab I think it is. They are pretty impressive cars.
Hated my first detective car that was front wheel drive . Traded it in for a truck.
