Dodge Durango Special Service

If you are contemplating a local bank robbery, make sure the police force at your area still hasn't received its batch of specially made Dodge Durangos.

The street legal car with more than 1600HP managed to stop the clock at 8.63 seconds, when crossed the finish line at the 402 meter mark with a terminal speed of 172.15 mph (276.98 km/h). It is just insane to see a “normal” car with normal tyres do that. The parachute is much needed, because the brakes simply won’t manage too well, especially, if the AMS GT-R makes several star
