We had one in the UK where a Porsche driver nearly got away. The Police cars couldn’t catch him, and from what I remember the police helicopters max speed was 120mph, so it was pulling away from that as well, had they driven at that speed for another 5-10mins they would have been free and clear and out of visual range. The only reason they got caught was because they didn’t realise that a helicopter was chasing them, so turned off the motorway and into a farm (something like that), the helicopter could still see where they were and could send units to their location.
The fastest I’ve taken my bike is 168, I didn’t look up the top speed of the Hellcats but I sure as fuck am not gonna be gassing my bike at 120 for that long. That is terrifying with other people around. Oddly and disappointingly impressive. No matter how potentially dangerous cop chases are, they’re super fun to watch. I always wonder what’s going on in that guys head. Does he really think he’s gonna get away? The end is when you run out of gas, or before.
You can easily out run the car. In fact most will stop chasing you if speeds are high and traffic is dense. As continued pursuit poses a danger to the public.
What you can’t out run is the Motorola radio they have.
Hope nobody died
Except that he ran out of gas and was caught.

That Hellcat can fly
Am I wrong that he actually showed pretty tremendous driving ability?
He should go for NASCAR.
See, had he gotten up to four stars, he would’ve run into issues

That chopper is a bitch. I always assumed 150-200 mph would be easy at full tilt,
but I guess air flow and drag become a factor.
They should just use this as a commercial for the Hellcat lol
only people that say that are the cops. people get away all the time. obviously they dont want you to know that.
Physically chasing him is a really outdated (and unsafe) police tactic anyway
dude can drive.
Just remember this is what would happen if they hit another car (going about the same speeds) (NSFL) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNRxup0WhMo
My hands got sweaty. If he even *knicked* another car at that speed it would’ve been very very bad.
These Dodge commercials are getting heavy…. SOLD!!
Lane discipline in America is awful. Do you guys just pick any old random lane?
[Go Kowalski, you the man..](https://youtu.be/bOb2BqiGZGA?t=38)
Guy sounds just like Bob Odenkirk (Saul Goodman).
The big blue meanies are closing in Kowalski..
It would be funny if the cops arranged for this chase so they could justify getting Hellcats for the department…
In murica this is exciting. In Germany he would just floor it in the left lane and be gone. This guy has to go left right left.
*Archer voice* “Thanks Dodge!”
Dodge with that next level guerilla marketing.
Best Dodge commercial ever.

At least he didn’t crash into someone else.
*Kowalski*
Fun chase but seeing him get tackled in the link another redditor posted was satisfying. Dude could have seriously hurt someone else by pulling this.
Surely the cop cars are unsuitable if they cannot react 110mph? Even an old car could do that.
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’,
We’re gonna do what they say can’t be done.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I’m east bound, just watch ol’ “Bandit” run.
