Hellcat ESCAPES @180+mph

Stolen Charger & Challenger Hellcats run from State Troopers. Law Enforcement Pursuits are usually 5.7L 345 V8 Hemi or 3.6L V6 Chargers or Ford Explorers which puts them at a massive disadvantage chasing Hellcats both Charger and/or Challenger. The Hellcat has a 6.2L Supercharged V8 Hemi making 700+hp - almost double the 5.7L V8 Hemi. The Hellcat top speeds can exceed 180+mph again making it hard for pursuits to keep up (which top out at 155mph).
How do Police Pursuits catch Hellcats in a chase on open HWY at night? It's almost impossible unless you give them faster cars.

I think giving the cops faster cars will only increase the danger of these chases to the public as well as the police, if most of these chases involve stolen vehicles then they need to find a better way to track the criminals which will lead to the cars location when it is parked. Sad truth is there are way too many criminals in our society these days and it is only going to get worse.

[@RTLife]

It's 100% getting worse by the year. Many people are just getting rid of their rides so they don't have to worry about it getting stolen or pulled over by cops so frequently.

[@stephenwest798]

@@RTLife Always run a dashcam to protect yourself and don't be a fool out on the highway. There is a time and a place to settle who has the faster ride and it is not in heavy traffic or any traffic if one can help it. Seems that everyone has a cell phone these days. I live in a rural area and back in the day we would make arrangements to meet at a certain location, do what we had to do and take the back roads home, but back then there were no cellphones, and our population was less that it is today. Also running from the cops wasn't a felony and they enjoyed the chase as much as we did and most of their patrol cars topped out at 140 unless they had a hemi or a sixpack, I had a hemi so I never got caught and only once did I have a patrol car that was gaining on me until they came to a corner at speed and for some strange reason they decided to go out into a cornfield and chase deer or racoons, I'm not sure which as I didn't go back to ask.

@RTLife well actually the problem is not the cars the problem is the cops can only go a certain speed depending on what state and also they cant chase in some areas either cus it will be too dangerous for bystanders

[@goblinzl1]

​@@RTLife i disagree. some will just modify their vehicles to be faster or theyll just think of other ways to evade law enforcement. they might wait for the cop to get out to get a head start. they also might get more desperate and dangerous and take more chances like fast lane changes like slower vehicles have. im not defending running from police though i do believe some are afraid of them thats why they run. many people have had their rights violated or even killed during traffic stops so they think they have nothing to lose by running. many cops will lie and add more charges. the lack of trust people have in police isnt helping so perhaps relaxing this cowboy crap might actually stop people from running. ill give an example. a car speeds by at a high rate of speed. the driver shows remorse and slows down by the presence of a patrol unit. if the plate comes up clean tail the a bit them pass them or back off. it seems cops in these videos want these people to run at times. fact is law enforcement will never stop speeders or runners and they dont want to because its a revenue generator. but they need to be a little more realistic and safe about enforcement. they cant catch everyone and thats how itll always be no matter how much power they have.

Disagree completely. I think the authorities shouldn't take the bait and chase these guys.

You also probably don't agree with the idiots that think people are supposed to be ready and move right over when cop comes up on them at 150 for their 70.
