The old saying is you might be able to outrun the cops, but you can’t outrun a radio. Some people also insert you can’t outrun a police helicopte. But one Texas man in a stolen Dodge Challenger Hellcat proved that old saying is a heap of horse crap because he outran both!
Watch an Arkansas State Patrol trooper get the closest yet to the infamous Blackout Charger here.
In one of the largest suburban sprawls in the United States, Houston to be specific, 25-year-old Mohmed Ahmed Abu-Shlieba gave us evidence that in the right hands, a Hellcat can give multiple law enforcement agencies hell and outrun everything they throw at it.
After identifying the white Hellcat was in fact stolen, the Houston Police Department gave chase, but their slow cruisers were like kittens trying to play with a fierce feline. According to local station ABC 13, at one point Abu-Shlieba did a U-turn and blasted past officers who were waiting for him, absolutely humiliating law enforcement in the process.

As he sped down I-10 more law enforcement agencies jumped into the pursuit, but nobody could get near the guy as he pressed the pedal to the metal. Repeatedly, he cut things close as he took to the shoulder to get around slower vehicles as traffic built.
After a while, the news helicopter guy in the pursuit video says the police lost the Hellcat, including the mighty police chopper, while the news helicopter’s obviously superior camera zoom was the only thing able to keep up with the speeding Mopar muscle car. You have to hand it to the Hellcat driver for his ability to cut through rush hour traffic in Houston!
Abu-Shlieba led law enforcement on a chase that ended two counties away when the Hellcat drained its fuel tank. Instead of finding a gas station and continuing the chase, the guy decided to ditch the muscle car and try hiding in a stand of trees by a pasture. The problem is he forgot to bring his thermal camouflage blankie, so spotting his hiding spot was easy for the police helicopter once it finally caught up.
Ultimately, Abu-Shlieba pled guilty to evading arrest and was sentenced to three years in prison. While he got away for a little bit, proving that police radios and even helicopters aren’t invincible, we don’t recommend anyone try to replicate what he did or you might be getting three square meals, a private room with stainless steel appliances, and a building with secure access for three years or so.

The Dodge Charger Hellcat Redeye is a four-door muscle car that comes from the factory with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 making 797 horsepower and 707 pound-feet of torque. The official specs say it can hit 60 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 203 mph.
Unfortunately for the driver, the Hellcat V8 is defeated by the Tesla's all-wheel drive and battery power. The Model 3 gets a great launch and holds the lead to run 11.60, versus 11.67 for the Charger.
The Westland Lynx helicopter in 1986 had set a record of being the fastest helicopter with a speed of 295mph/413kph and remains unbroken. In contrast, the maximum speed recorded by a car was 304mh/489kph on August 2nd,2019. Can you guess the car? Yes it is Bugatti Chiron SuperSport.
The Hellcat can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds, while the Demon takes only 2.3 seconds. When it comes to speed, the Dodge Demon is a little faster, with an impressive top speed of around 211 miles per hour, while the Dodge Hellcat has a top speed of about 202 miles per hour.

The Osprey has a maximum recorded speed in 'helicopter mode' of about 275 knots (316 MPH), which would indeed make it the fastest helicopter in the world.
If the police helicopter is flying overhead in circles, they are working some sort of mission. The spotlight, called a Night Sun, is just one of many tools the helicopter has to complete a mission. Depending on the mission, the helicopter may or may not use the Night Sun.
A police helicopter can travel at speeds of up to 150 mph, depending on the model and type. Some helicopters are even capable of reaching speeds over 200 mph! This makes them an invaluable tool for law enforcement officers who need to quickly respond to a situation or pursue suspects in a high-speed chase.
The reasons had everything to do with price and capability; Hellcat engines offered more power for a lot less than you'd expect. At that time, exotics from brands like Ferrari and McLaren cost much more than vehicles with Hellcat engines but failed to match this powertrain's prodigious output.
The Demon can go from zero to 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds, while the Hellcat takes 3.6 seconds. Regarding top speed, the Demon is slightly faster, with a staggering top speed of 211 mph, while the Hellcat has a top speed of 202 mph.
The result is 11.492 seconds for the Hellcat and 11.504 for the 'Vette. That's a margin of 12 thousandths of a second, but it's enough for the Challenger to clock a win.
In fact, helicopters are nearly 2-3 times faster. What could be a one-hour trip by car can be made in less than half the amount of time by helicopter. It's very convenient for situations where you want to be somewhere far away in a short amount of time like a wedding or special event.
Planes are generally faster than helicopters if they both fly at their top speed. This is because planes have a more aerodynamic design, a more powerful engine, and a higher altitude than helicopters, which allow them to overcome the drag and the gravity that limit the speed of helicopters.
