yeah we are supposed to get these in the US too
im more impressed with these than the curent crown vic jokes the cops are driving now
but im still not very worried
the acceleration isnt much to worry about
Acceleration: Dodge Charger 5.7-liter HEMI and Dodge Magnum 5.7-liter HEMI posted first and second place in acceleration times (0 - 100 mph in 16.24 seconds and 16.49 seconds, respectively)
figureing that the cop is sitting still doing radar when you blow by him... as long as you see him before he makes it onto the road you have a good chance of not getting cought
the braking is a joke
Braking: Dodge Magnum 3.5-liter V-6 and Dodge Charger 3.5-liter V-6 posted first and second place in braking distance (60 mph - 0 in 128.1 feet and 130.1 feet, respectively)
if you have a solid braking system you can easily out brake one of these... "but why would you hit the brakes when being chased???" its simple, the faster you can slow down, the later you can hit the brakes for the turn, the later you hit the brakes the more distance you can put between you and the cop
top speed is about the only thing that has me a little worried... the top speed is significantly better than the crown vic (128mph)
Top Speed: Dodge Charger 5.7-liter HEMI posted best-in-class top speed of over 145 mph
dont run on the highway... you shouldnt be running on the highway anyway... but the chance of getting away from one of these is a LOT less than getting away from a vic... as always the best chance of getting away from a cop on the highway is by getting the fuck off the highway ASAP and hitting some corners
i really want to see some handling figures... but im sure they arent anything impressive
once again corners are your friend
so if you are going to run from one of these do it on a twisty back road... these are a little better than the crown vic but still cant hang on the twisties
rapid acceleration deceleration and cornering will wear one of these out pretty quickly
reason #547896530798546974327908 why corners are better than drag racing
