Supercharged Mustang Hits 178 MPH Running From Arkansas Police

Wait since when did they got those? I thought they only had front and side radar. Good to know they have rear radar now.





As far as I know the largest motor they have is the 5.7 which has 375 horsepower or something like that definitely shouldn’t have kept up.

my car had stalker system II's front & back. Pretty sweet set up. from what I understand, cop cars get a little extra suspension stuff, not really much on hp/power.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. But equally stupid decision by Leo to chase him at those speeds for speeding ticket. They have him on radar and video. Back off and go pick him up later.

I know its a 375 345ci, same as my truck, just wondering if it was modded at all

Considering how slowly they seemed to gain speed, and the ones ive seen in person...

Id say not a lot.

I think its possible the 6.4 392 motor is the Charger car. And the only reason I say this is I have owned the 392 motor in my Chargers and own the Hellcats as well. I have raced in my Hellcat a 5.7 Hemi Charger and 392 at the same time. The 3 of us took off from a rolling start and I was blown away on how the Hemi was like nothing and the 392 did the exact same thing as in the video. The Mustang didn’t start gapping big time until the speeds got to 80 plus. And that was my experience racing other non Hellcat Chargers which I have a raced a few. They hang up to about 80mph then the spread starts to grow and once you hit 100 it just continues to gap big time. And here’s some of my Charger SRTs and Challengers along with my Hellcats.

A crash injuring a 3rd party would be a big lawsuit.

There's a Forscan err DodgeScan setting to turn the BLIS hardware into a radar emitter with 1/2 mile range.

If I was that cop I probably would have packed it in after a minute at 130-140.

Sometimes you have to wonder if the Cops are having their fun as well.

agreed but, it was night with less traffic on road, a state trooper here will pursue.
During day they wouldn’t of due to congestion

I'm not defending the Mustang driver at all for running from the cops, but speeding alone in NO WAY should have warranted a high speed police chase like that. The officer should get close enough to get the license plate and back off. Chases should only be reserved for kidnappings or for reasonable suspicion that a serious felony has occurred. Sometimes I wonder if the officer's pride is at stake, in their minds "I can safely catch this guy". Much of the time police chases end in wrecks with innocents being hurt or worse.

Yea... I can understand a high speed pursuit if he's armed and dangerous or has a hostage, but not for going a little over the speed limit. It's a needless risk of collateral damage.
