As we’ve noted before, chasing down a fleeing Dodge Hellcat is a nearly hopeless task unless the driver crashes or simply runs out of fuel. These supercharged Mopars are flat-out quick, letting a skilled driver open a massive gap on pursuing patrol cars in a hurry.
That’s why officers sometimes have to rely on strategy rather than straight-line speed. By outsmarting rather than outrunning the suspect, police managed to bring this particular high-powered runaway to a stop.
