They didn't just reach speeds of 130mph, but average speeds of 130mph over a distance of several miles. Their maximum speed was probably closer to 150-180.

- freehunter 14y agoI want to know what cars these officers are driving that are capable of 150-180mph, or capable of sustaining speeds of 130mph over a significant distance. From my knowledge, 150 is a fairly exclusive club limited to not-inexpensive performance cars, and 180 is a very hard target to meet, mostly at the feet of German luxury cars. I know police officers don't make six figures, so the question is what car are they in that can hit 130 sustained, and 150-180 max?
- dopamean 14y agoFlorida Highway Patrol has some seriously beefed up vehicles. As someone who used to run from the cops on my motorcycle semi-frequently I do have to say that I'm not aware of any that could get up to 180 though.
- rdouble 14y agoThere are a police versions of the Dodge Charger Dodge Challenger and a new police version of the Chevy Caprice. When I recently drove across the south I saw many highway patrols had the Challenger. That said, nobody is driving 180mph in a sedan on American roads. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/21/nyregion/21cars.html http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/21/nyregion/21cars.html http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-19/chevy-s-cop-cruiser-muscle-car-hits-154-mph-nabs-perps.html http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-19/chevy-s-cop-cruiser... http://www.allpar.com/squads/police-cars/challenger.html http://www.allpar.com/squads/police-cars/challenger.html
