The Michigan State Police (MSP) began testing patrol cars in the 1950s. At that time, quotations were requested from manufacturers and only the vehicle with the lowest quotation was tested to see if it met our purchasing requirements. Years later, the quotations received from manufacturers were only four dollars apart. At that point, the MSP decided to test all vehicles in order to select the best vehicle. The equipment used to measure speed and distance has evolved from tape measure to global positioning systems providing more accurate measurements, making the MSP vehicle testing an internationally recognized resource for law enforcement agencies.

The MSP used the Chrysler Proving Grounds to measure acceleration and top speed. Here is a list of yearly test results showing 0-100 MPH and top speed results.

The numbers in BLUE are the top speeds for 4-door police vehicles that year.

The numbers in GREEN are the fastest 0-100 MPH 4-door police vehicles that year.

The numbers in bold BLACK are Camaro’s and Mustang’s.

If you would like to see all of the test results for these vehicles, check out the Michigan State Police Vehicle Evaluations Page.
