For some time, we’ve been sounding the alarm that criminals are attracted to Dodge muscle cars like moths to a flame or a feline to catnip. It’s like they just can’t quit the allure of Mopars, what with their flashy looks, loads of power, and their seemingly easily-defeated security. One of the places hard hit by criminals using Dodge Challengers and Chargers to street race, steal other rides, do street takeovers, and even kill innocent people is the Detroit area. This fact has been highlighted recently in a Deadline Detroit article by Nancy Derringer.

As she aptly points out, many criminals use these muscle cars as getaway vehicles. If the cops give chase, they drop the hammer and leave the fuzz in the dust, often pushing well beyond 130 mph on a stretch of highway. Some departments just call off the chase at that point. And since the car is likely stolen, it will be later ditched, often with most if not all the components stripped off, but probably after it’s used to commit a few more crimes.
