An unknown motorist hurtled west along Interstate 70 outside of Glenwood Springs early Friday morning, driving a dark-colored, older-model Mustang so fast that state troopers couldn’t get a read on its license plate. The driver was going 140 mph on a stretch of Interstate 70 about 10 miles west of Glenwood Springs where speed limits drop to account for long, hazardous curves as the highway follows the contours of the Colorado River. Instead of slowing down after troopers turned on their sirens and lights, the person driving the Mustang accelerated to 150 mph, Colorado State Patrol spokesman Trooper Gary Cooper said

Wonder what model it was? I’d like to think this...

That's nothing... I saw a video of a police chase on Youtube where a Dodge Challenger Hellcat outran the police AND the police helicopter.

Good call. Where do I need to go in that vid to see this guy hit 200?

ETA I’m 3 minutes in and you can see how fast this car really is, and how fast it can accelerate while already at highway speed when compared to the regular traffic.

i know this will sound ridiculous.... but given the circumstances, they were incredibly safe and courteous to other drivers during that chase.

When I was a kid my grandmother bought my older brother a 69 Fastback for his 16th birthday. It had a 351 Winsor and was in mint condition. This was the early 80s so they were not crazy expensive yet.

The car lasted about a year. It was crazy fast. I remember the night of a Ratt concert (I was 14) about five of us piled in it to go. I ended up driving home because I was the only one remotely sober enough to drive. My dumb arse had that ring going somewhere over 120 MPH on I-59 north. It’s a miracle we didn’t all end up a greasy spots on the interstate. We ragged that poor car out. The tranny failed after a few months and he ended up selling it to some dude. I can still remember the tow truck pulling it away the day they came and got it. No telling what it could be worth now.
