S550 Ford Mustang GT Manages to Outrun Police in Wild Pursuit

S550 Ford Mustang GT Police Pursuit

While it usually doesn’t work, the driver of this S550 Ford Mustang GT ran from a traffic stop, never to be seen again.

Essentially since the advent of automobiles, people have been running from the law, which almost always doesn’t end well. Whether fleeing criminals crash their cars or simply get caught and slapped with additional charges, trying to outrun the long arm of the law rarely works, and oftentimes, is incredibly dangerous and can lead to tragedy – which is precisely why we would never condone such a thing. However, the driver of one particular S550 Ford Mustang GT managed to evade police recently in Little Rock, Arkansas, as we can see in this video from Police Pursuits, which is notable given how the law in that particular state tends to be a bit aggressive when chasing down criminals.

Time and time again, we’ve seen videos of the Arkansas State Police going after and catching people who try and run from them, typically because those folks either have a rap sheet, are wanted, or happen to be carrying some sort of illegal item on their person. That doesn’t bode well for the person behind the wheel of this S550 Ford Mustang GT, which has clearly been modified in some way, shape, or form.

Regardless, when a state trooper attempts to pull over the car for reasons unknown, the driver of the pony car obliges – at first. However, when the officer approaches the car, the driver of the Mustang takes off, after which the trooper hops back in their car and proceeds to chase after it. Hitting speeds of 133 miles-per-hour, the officer never saw the S550 again, and wound up terminating the pursuit as a result of this and heavy traffic.

Of course, one might assume that police could simply run the car’s license plate and track them down later on, but in this case, that didn’t work, either. The Mustang was apparently fitted with a plate that’s registered to a 2015 Chevy Camaro, making it a bit more difficult to locate. However, given its unique modifications, we wouldn’t be surprised if the perpetrator was eventually caught, as this car is now one of the most sought after in the state – for all the wrong reasons.
