Yes, and it does it with a 3.5l V6 that will walk all over both your 7.3 and my 2V V10.
I think its funny that they are seen as boats. My '99 CVPI's curb weight is 34 lbs less than a new Challanger. It has beaten 'stangs autocrossing and drag racing and just last week I raced a Crossfire from a light and walked away from him.

4,200 lbs is correct for a fully equipped squad car.
A stock 98-02 is only 3,800.
I don't know the weight diffrence of the top of my head but the '03+ cars weigh more than the 98-02s.

They have more reinforcement around the fuel tank, don't they?

Slightly. The main thing is a sheild that keeps the fuel tank from getting penetrated in an accident. Thats why the police cars are rated to take a 70 MPH hit in the rear without a fire.
I am not sure. Every one I have worked on was gas.
That numbers a little high. What year and trim is that?

The information on that site is badly outdated.
They have since fixed all new production cars and will sell the shielding for older cars for $170.00.
At 16 I badly wrecked my first CVPI and walked away with nothing but a few bruises.
They are very safe, tough cars.
