In a lot of ways, the results just leave us with more questions. There’s little to no evidence the state trooper is pushing his car in the least, for whatever reason. To be honest, we think the Charger Pursuit can whip through the quarter mile better than this. Oh, and the second race is even more pathetic with the Redeye driver clearly holding back. Just keep in mind the police will eventually catch up with them, so even though these guys might get away at first, they don’t stay out of jail forever. As long as the fleeing driver doesn’t wreck out or run out of gas, they can often get away. After seeing this Dodge Charger Pursuit get absolutely trounced by the Hellcat Redeye, which ran the quarter mile in a respectable 12.275 seconds at 119.38 mph versus a Honda Civic-like 16.533 seconds at 86.71 mph it’s understandable why we see so many chases with Hellcats go the way they do. The old saying that you can’t outrun the radio isn’t always true, but it’s good cops have those in their cars. Maybe the Hellcat Redeye driver wanted to keep things fair, but if both have the opportunity to heat up the rear tires and one doesn’t take it, maybe to avoid getting in trouble with his superiors, we don’t see anything wrong with the other guy taking full advantage. It looks like the Redeye is about to, but then the trooper doesn’t. You’ll note something odd about this race: neither car lights up the tires before lining up. You could created a Dodge Hellcat Redeye hearse like the one here. We also know you’re probably like us and truly have wondered just how fast these cop cars are, so here’s your chance to see how one throws down in the quarter mile. While both are Mopars with Hemi V8s, they are incredibly different cars designed to serve in different ways. If you guys do run into a problem with the vehicle or would like to suggest vehicles you want to see, make sure to join my. The video we’ve included of a Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye racing a Dodge Charger Pursuit police car from the Colorado State Patrol is definitely unique. Hello everyone Today i present to you a Unmarked 2015 Dodge Charger Hellcat I had this model as a private release, but i decided to release it to LSPDFR because it is not some of my best work but it is still a good model. We formed a two-car convoy just like that until he exited 15 miles later.You don’t see the cops on the track every day… ![]() ![]() Clearly recognizing the livery-but not noticing that it wasn’t real-the fellow dove in behind us and matched his speed to ours. In one instance, we were trundling along in the right lane at about 70 with cruise engaged when someone in the left lane came barreling up on us. It happens in low-traffic situations, too. It’s a strange feeling to drive down an interstate leading a four-abreast wall of traffic like some sort of pied police piper. Slip by somehow, and no one passes you, regardless of how fast or slow you’re setting the pace. In thicker highway traffic, approaching a group of cars from behind causes a rolling, sub-70-mph blockade to form instantly. We could have actively messed with people, but we didn’t. They might have been deciding whether to ready freebies, but they correctly figured us for fakes, and we shelled out 80 cents for our glazed sour-cream doughnut.Ī fake power trip in a Hemi-packing Charger cop car taught us several lessons in motorist psychology as it relates to traffic impedance and reactions to police presence. ![]() The kids working the Tim Hortons drive-through gave the car a second look, though, peeking their heads out the window after we ordered. Still, we’re assuming he wasn’t a detective. In his defense, we were traveling in the opposite direction at about 55 mph on a two-lane. The getup was so believable, in fact, that one actual officer of the law gave us a wave as we passed. Any one of those elements is enough to put other drivers on red alert, but together they’re downright intimidating-enough so that most motorists didn’t bother to read the Dodge Law Enforcement marketing-message shields on the doors or take in the huge Dodge windshield banner. Our Patrol Package #1 test car wore white-over-black graphics, a light bar, A-pillar spot lamps, and black steelies. You might go faster than normal traffic or slower than normal traffic-but generally, it’s the traffic that decides, one way or another. That’s because it feels and performs like a regular model-we’ve reviewed those in many forms-save for one major distinction: Its performance is almost entirely dictated by its appearance, not the beefed-up chassis or the burly 5.7-liter V-8. Driving a police-spec Charger as a civilian isn’t so much about the car as the experience.
