Almost certainly. We called the “track” at my old department the “parking pursuit training course”. It was just a set of cones on an airport tarmac. Lots of very tight turns. The lightweight front-wheel drive cars destroyed the Crown Vic’s and Chargers on that course. Actual pursuits on open highways were a different story, of course.
That tickles my geek center so much. I want one.

Mine too, but not $390 worth.
I'd get one on a lark for $100 but I don't have enough dedication to the bit to drop $400.

When I retired my agency still had a number of CVs in service. Most of them were probably at 150-200K miles. They were repainting them and repairing them because the city and the repair fleet decided it was cheaper then buying new cars. Penny wise pound foolish. You have cars falling apart and you’re fixing them with bailing wire and duct tape (not literally).
K9 had take home Tahoes and we took care of them. They got fixed a lot because we drove a lot and they sat idling a lot. We used to get new vehicles at 100K but now they hold them and fix them. We have four spare vehicles because our new cars drop like flies. We had weeks where all the spares were being driven. You have a very expensive dog in the back of the car that can’t keep the interior cool in the summer. You want bad publicity have a dog die from heat in the back of one of your cars. They don’t care…
Just a dog chauffeur that used to hold the dumb end of the leash.
If true I need a time machine. My neighbor actually has a DeLorean, but her refuses to take me back to 1986.
