Police Officer Hits 143 MPH in Dodge Charger While Chasing Drunk McLaren 720S Driver (clocked at 155MPH) in Georgia.

Why the hell chase a car like that.   It's so distinctive surely it's easy to find where it's going and meet it at its destination?

Sheriff Buford T Justice: "I'm gon get you you sumbitch"

Meanwhile... Truck load of beer makes it to Truck Rodeo on time and unnoticed.  

Because you get to drive your Charger at 143mph....duh!

I haven't seen this story yet, but I'm betting it was in Henry County somewhere. But it had to be at night because I-75 is too much of a parking lot in daylight hours.

EDIT: I was wrong, it was on the Alpharetta Autobahn (Georgia 400). And it was an Impala V6!!    LINK TO STORY

I'm guessing the McLaren driver wasn't really that drunk, or the news would be "McLaren 720S destroyed in fiery crash after brief chase"

I believe you meant to say, "meet the car at its destruction"

I think high speed chases should be outlawed anyway. But I'm going to leave it at that, lest I be covered in concrete.

How remarkably boring of a chase.  Surprising to say but big wide interstate in cars designed for those speeds......almost like we could have an autobahn here in the states and actually get where we are going instead of crawling along at 75 mph.

Funny that the guy besides driving drunk, speeding, leading police on a high speed chase also had expired registration.

I thought new cars automatically got 2yr regs? The 720s hasn't been out that long!

Georgia is yearly,  Wasn't much of a Chase, She had to speed up to catch up to him, But he really didn't run and as a matter of Fact they said His Brakes were Smoking he stopped so Quickly. But in the Video he did look Drunk.

In reply to T.J. :

I noticed that too.  Probably the 30 day tag the dealership issues while your real plates are being issued.

I'm guessing he can afford a lawyer.  Probably a pretty good one.

My experience is you can't out run a radio.

Been in jail, you wouldn't like it .......
