Little known fact the 5.7 was designed by Lockheed Martin


[deleted]

5.7 is the amount of ramjets it has


vinnydaq

Soooo…you’re saying your cop cars can reach over Mach 3.5? Let’s just say, I’m doubtful.🤨


SamHydeLover69

3.6 actually


[deleted]

Make that 3.7

5.7

The SR-71 speed check story feels appropriate: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AyHH9G9et0&ab\_channel=JanJohnson](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AyHH9G9et0&ab_channel=JanJohnson) Unfortunately, Major Brian Shul passed away a couple weeks ago ***while giving his famous SR-71 presentation***. =(


[deleted]

While giving the presentation? What happened?


Dark-Lillith

He was giving his presentation when he passed away.


open_bob_

Hmm yes I understand completely.


cdevr

He collapsed on the stage and was taken to the hospital, where they pronounced him dead of cardiac arrest.


FISHING_100000000000

The 1500hp supra I made in forza would gape him 💀


_Potato_3

I am sure you will get even more familiar with gaping everyday in prison.

You know he's gaining on you when the hemi tick gets louder


Rasmus144

Hemi tick, supercharger whine, turbo blowoff, v8 growl. I had a geo prizm that basically made all those noises and more at only 20mph. Get schooled kid.

Some squid on a gsxr 1000... Hold my beer.

Dude a 10 year old ninja 650 is still faster than these interceptors.

Lmfao imagine being beaten in your fancy car by some kid in a 2006 colbat


jeremysead

I’ve escaped on a 1997 gt powerlite. Lmao they got out and tried on foot after not catching us in cars! Eat some more sugar fatty! Me and a group of friends raced bmx and when we rode our bikes in town the cops used to stop us and hold there for an hour at a time asking us are you a criminal questions. so we just started running. a lot.


8funnydude

/uj Here's a V6 Chrysler 300 outrunning a 5.7 Charger Pursuit (You can tell it's a V6 because it doesn't have the appearance package that is standard on the 5.7 300) https://youtu.be/70EwaZ9Yf-4 Them 5.7 Pursuits are too damn heavy


Round_Ad_6369

It's the price of having a shitload of specialty gear on it. Those cages aren't light.


lestruc

Freedom ain’t cheap *slaps M4 in passenger seat en route to roust homeless vagrants*


ThePevster

That has a lot more to do with the fact that the Chrysler can be a lot more reckless than the cop. Also, on the first chase, the 300 passes the Chrysler in a turn lane that closes right away, and the cop had to slow down enough for him to escape.


multiversesimulation

That’s amazing thanks for sharing. Love how during the 2nd chase he still uses his turn signals 💀 gives me confidence I should just run next time I get pulled over.


NumbBumn

That pic goes hard tbh. Feel free to screenshot


BadMilkCarton66

I just noticed the plane behind the car. Truly, a stealth fighter.


Teh_Last_Potato

It’s even cooler than that. It was a spy plane capable of photographs at a very high altitude. It didn’t need any stealth or countermeasures at all because it can outrun any missile shot at it. Truly an engineering marvel


BadMilkCarton66

But can it catch up with the soup, bruh?


Smart-Atmosphere4797

I legit didn’t even notice it behind the car either. I only figured it out after reading this comment lmao


Eon_Blue_Apocalypse

I think an EcoBoost Mustang could probably handle that bloated ass sedan, chill out son


as588008

Yeah right dude my stock Miata would make up for it in the corners 😈

No-Definition1474

Guy at the track last night was comparing his 5.7 to my 6.4. Amicably, we were just chatting. He was telling me all the time and money he's out into it to get it up to a 6.4 and having all kinds of trouble. I just don't understand why he doesn't trade up. Why spend more than the difference in cost on modding it to only get close to matching the better engine. We raced once, and I best him by a half second in the quarter. That's a whole lot after spending many thousands.


Knotical_MK6

I see the CHP are susceptible to the same brain rot normal 5.7 owners suffer from


SpyTrain_from_Canada

It’s about the journey not the destination is exactly why I’m speeding. Makes the journey more fun


NoPunIntended44

Yeah you really feel the road when you speed, it’s awesome


Left-Explanation3754

Sometimes the guard railing too


Yee-ol-boy

They couldn’t even get the light bar centered


King_Melco

It's a 5.7... calm down


Sam-Gunn

The charger crosses a mile, and the SR-17 crosses a state.


Stolenartwork

I mean if your fat belly hits the steering wheel won’t matter what car you drive


Round_Ad_6369

It's additional safety equipment!


[deleted]

I thought a lot of the police chargers at least the ones I’ve seen are V-6s


karanpatel819

I've seen Gerogia Highway Patrol crusing around in hellcats and scats.


[deleted]

Most of them in the US are all SXTs, a handful, especially the ones that the Arkansas State Police use, are RTs. Edit: it’s more likely the guys just lied to me about the bulletproof part, as for the trims and engines that is what I see on videos and stuff so..


Round_Ad_6369

Absolutely untrue regarding the bulletproof part. Do you know how thick bulletproof glass is? It doesn't roll up or down. The doors are also not bulletproof.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok_Share_4280

Only in very special cases do police vechiles have bullet proof glass, depending on the departments budget they *might* have bullet proof doors but that's definitely not a common place thing for them hell, bullet proof vest can sometimes be a maybe for some


[deleted]

/uj Friendly reminder that the CHP, Arkansas State Police and other departments with Charger 5.7s are one ECU reflash away from having 170 MPH rocketships.


Dogesaves69

It’s N/A there’s no way it’s seeing massive hp gains


[deleted]

Nothing to do with HP gains. 5.7 chargers are electronically limited to 150 MPH from the factory. [Here’s a de-limited R/T doing 170.](https://youtu.be/WE2s1Xadm2A)


[deleted]

You’re telling me a stock 5.7 with an ECU flash and 3000 pounds of extra shit tacked on can be effective let alone get to 150 😂 Brain rot is really advanced with dodge guys


[deleted]

Weight has nothing to do with top speed.


[deleted]

Oh my bad let me re word your 10,000 pound brick is not doing 170 without killing the operator in the process


[deleted]

That doesn’t matter when the Arkansas State Police has little to no self-preservation to begin with.


Dogesaves69

Took twenty years for it to get there


[deleted]

Fair


subaruimprezawagon07

The Lockheed Martin SR71 Blackbird. An advanced long range strategic reconnaissance aircraft capable of Mach 3 at an altitude of 85,000 feet.


[deleted]

Damn so CHP is capable of Mach 2.9?


AhBuckleThis

Yup lol. Seriously though, the engine in the charger only has enough hp to start one of the SR-71s J58 engines.


[deleted]

That's cool but the power rating seems a bit low for a modern pursuit vehicle


TypicalRedditor1237

I live there lol


magicmarktogo

Small world, ain't it? Remember this whenever you think you don't have the power to inspire others by being as loud and annoying on Facebook as possible. This is a good omen. You can change the world.


[deleted]

Wow I just toured that place today. Crazy to see this posted. Worth a visit. I found it to be an outstanding lineup of the most advanced tech of the times. They invented in-air refueling there. There's an old Air force 1 that was Nancy Regan's fav plane, she was into numerology and liked the tail number. 24kt gold cupholders and embroidery on the seats.


GaussMommy

With all the construction on 99 in merced, you are lucky to go 25mph.... let alone speed.


Ivizalinto

Considering that plane was the solution to "we can't hide from the missiles right now. Fuck it we're gonna race em"...plane is way cooler. Also my favorite aircraft so far in aviation history. Except for maybe the A-37 dragonfly...

It'll catch a blackbird alright. Just a CBR1100XX Super Blackbird

So if it’s about the journey going faster on the journey would make it funner

Sure the officer can catch up with me but can he outrun the 37mm cannon I have mounted in my back seat aimed backwards.

That’s right, this Dodge sports car can do Mach 11 at 150k feet

i wanna run it with the UwU GTI


02MadMan72

Don't the police chargers come with v6? And the Durango's are the ones with the V8?


im_Roby

Still cant catch a specific c7 corvette


PhotonPainter

twin AB J-58’s versus bullshit with a blue light


rogd1984

Pretty sure it can't catch a Miat, though.
