What Michigan actually tested
The specification of every vehicle described in the Michigan books, as the books printed it.
Alongside its results, each Michigan report prints the police vehicle specifications for the car or motorcycle it tested: axle ratio, steering, turning circle, tyre size, suspension, brakes, weight (curb or test, as each book prints it), alternator and battery. This page holds 325 vehicles from 22 test years between 1996–2026, across 15 manufacturers. Search for a model, filter by manufacturer or decade, and open any vehicle for its full description.
The other years held are absent, not empty. 1995, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2003 and 2004 are short bulletins with no description pages. Nothing before 1996 has been extracted into this table: many of those books are scans with no readable text, and the bulletins and the 1985 scoring sheet print no description pages. The 2021 to 2024 books are not yet included. A field is blank where the book left it blank or where the extraction did not capture it: most car weights before 2014 are not yet included, and ten motorcycle weights from the 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 books were misread when extracted and cannot be re-read because those books are not held here. Nothing here is estimated.
