The Car That Is Uncatchable👮🏻♂️ | Explained Ep.32

The Black Out Charger is in essence Americas RA40 Lotus Carlton, a car that was uncatchable for its era and getting within 100ft of it was because the driver let you. Both were built on very common saloons of their time, one modified by Lotus Engineering to be the worlds fastest saloon and one most likely modified in his or her’s home garage to evade the authorities for shits and giggles. While the RA40 Carlton’s legendary existence came to an end in 1994, the Black Out Charger is still alive and there’s no telling if the next Black Charger with a loud exhaust you see is just an average mopar enthusiast or the infamous blackout charger.

Dodge knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they gave the cops the nerfed charger
-
Dodge is somewhere smiling ear to ear coming up with a plan to pay homage to the legendary blacked out Dodge Charger 😅
-
'likely modified in his garage to evade law enforcement for shits and giggles' love it lol
-
Blacking out tail lights is the most notorious modification ever to exist😂😂😂
-
"You can't outrun the radio." Apparently you can in a Hellcat.

I love that you, an American, somehow managed to find a clipping from the Birmingham Post about 40 RA being fished out of a canal, therefore doing an infinitely better job of researching the story than any of the actual Brits I've seen. Awesome video as always. You could literally narrate paint drying and make it sound cool.

Officer Hernandez should feel special.He was allowed to touch the car
-
Man the Lotus Carlton was a poster on my wall, 30 years old and that car still stands up as one of the greatest cars of all time in my mind
-
What i learned: I've got almost a 50/50 shot at getting away from the cops. Just make sure you quicksave beforehand so you can reload your previous save if you get caught
-
Forgot the Hellcat that left the helicopter in the dust. Bro was booking so fast the chopper had to turn around or run out of fuel. LEGENDARY!
-
Unreported but happened: in the late 80s, a person got away from a chase by not going super fast ( although he did) but by putting kilowatt level flash bulbs in his trunk, triggered to pop up and activate. They totally blinded the officer behind, and he took off and was never seen again. I wont say where i know this happened, as it was speculated at the time it was spooky related.
-
I've seen other (longer) pursuits of the black "uncatchable" Arkansas Dodge Charger, and I'm reasonably convinced that this driver has quite a bit of track day training or is a moderately experienced (pro) racing driver. It is NOT just the car.
-
Dodge knew their exact target audience for the hellcat/demon/scats , and it worked just how they wanted 😆
-
201 hp to 377?! That’s insane. Especially in that time. And a 6 apeed from the zr1 lol. What a beast.
-
Seeing all those Hemi 392/Hellcat videos on youtube essentially pranking cops then taking off is what made me fall in love with those engines.
-
"It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?"
-
It's amazing how we came from an era where a V8 produced only 65 hp to present where they're capable of doing over 1000 hp. Simply astonishing when you look at what we achieved.
-
The top speed of the Lotus Carlton is 190mph. It was limited to 177. You can override the limiter by redlining it in 5th then shifting to 6th which will unlock the full speed.

He is best to quit while he is ahead . The longer he keeps it up , the greater the chances he will get caught. In 1967 after I got out of the USAF, I ordered a 1967 GTO from the factory. It had a Hurst 4 on the floor. One night on my way home I noticed a set on headlights coming up fast so not knowing who it was , I turned off the state highway and turned on a county road . I noticed he turned too, so the race was on. It was mostly all flat land and roads were in square miles. I would take him around square miles and every time I turned a corner , I got farther away. When I thought I was far enough ahead I headed for home . When I hit my road ( it was gravel ) I got the car fishtailing to kick up as much dust as I could. When I turned in the driveway I braked hard , pulled the parking brake, and shut off the headlights. I pulled in a shed, closed the doors, and ran to the house. With the house lights off I looked out the window to see who was chasing me. It was an Ohio State Highway Patrol that went flying by. He never turned on his red light. If he had , I never would have tried that, I would have stopped. About a week later a buddy of mine that didn't have as fast of a car, tried to out run one that had his red light ( back then they only had one red light on top ) on. He made a mistake and went into a town and that is where the two way radio caught him. I miss that old car. I had it above 150 one time and when I looked at the tach it sunk in how fast I was going and I chickened out. I never did that again.
