There's a channel on YouTube called "Bavarian MOPAR Works" (BMW) that has an American in Germany with a Hellcat Charger.
He's had it on the Nürburgring several times terrorizing the locals (you know, folks over there think all American iron are pigs that
can't handle, etc.) and zips down the Autobahn with it also.
He's having a blast with his friend and the car, who apparently is a good enough racer to wrangle the thing on the track at
ridiculous speeds.

"Can't outrun a Motorola", yeah yeah.
One should never try, of course, but it all depends on the situation, too.
In remote parts of the planet, it can still be done.
Don't ask.

The air patrol is pretty hard to outrun too."Can't outrun a Motorola", yeah yeah.

Need to be in a no-fly zone to even the odds a bit.
Up here shopping on snowmobiles is big. Modern sleds will go from 0-120 in the blink of an eye.
The only way for the State Patrol to catch them is with a bird.

Really? I'm the only one with "I ditched the cops" stories from my youth?
I doubt that.

No, you are not. But I got caught a couple times. Got back home in a '67 GTX, not street legal car (was on a little test n tune blast), but because of crap in the garage I couldn't get the very *** end all the way in. Closed the door as far as I could, but the siren was getting close ! Was hoping he would go by and then I could get the car in. They flew by, and then I heard him lock em up. Spent next 3 days in jail. Also outran a cop on my Kawasaki 900 once. Easy peasy, right !!?? Well, I doubled back on a different road and I could see something in the road way up ahead. Yep, cop parked sideways across road waiting for me. He later told me a "good Samaritan" on a cb called in my route back to highway. At least no jail that day, although I should have, but that's another story.

The cops caught the guy after an hour long chase. If you outrun the cops doesnt that mean that you got away?

Ducked a cop once at a cross road. I had the stop sign and my room mate said to nail it after the cop went by. My old 66 Belvedere with a poly would never turn a tire unless it was on something slick and guess it was that day because it barked a tire. Saw the cop making a quick U-turn so kept my foot in it and then made a quick right turn and ducked behind a parked car. Guess he didn't look because he went blasting down the road that I turned off of. Another two blocks and safe inside the garage. Luckily, that day there was room enough for it to go in lol
Ditched a local cop. Got me easy, knew my car called my house ,just gave me a little talking too.

Kinda surprised that the cop didn't know me or just wanted to give me a scare. The Belvedere was the only car in town that was yellow with a black vinyl top.
Yeah I did it twice with different results. Junior year my '67 GTO convert was arguably the quickest or in the top 3 anyway as a recall. I got challenged often to do a quick race on the school frontage road or do a burnout. One day I did the latter and go figure the assistant principal was watching with a local PD officer as he ran to his squad. There was a subdivision nearby and took off finding an open garage and pulled in there. Couple years later in my '70 Cuda the results were not so good...gun jammed to my head, booked, printed, reckless driving, big fine, and 6 weeks of driving classes to keep my license...

Yeah, If one is caught in the chase then surely one did not achieve the objective of outrunning.
In 71 I did outrun a cop in the desert with a spank new 71 VW bug, had only owned it for about 5 hours.

I'd say the key words in his post were "in the desert".
