Dramatic vision has emerged out of Houston, Texas, showing police chasing a gold-colored Dodge Charger SRT 392 that was attending a car meet.
The clip was filmed on August 2 and the meet featured all kinds of cars, as well as motorcycles and quadbikes, performing burnouts and donuts in an empty parking lot. It appears local rapper Rizzoo Rizzoo was also filming a music video at the time.

Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long before police arrived on the scene and started flashing their lights and sirens, perhaps in an attempt to disperse the crowd. At one stage in the video, the driver of a 2016 Charger SRT 392 gets tailed by a Ford Explorer Police Interceptor and promptly gives it a bootful, kicking out the tail of the Charger and appearing to really irritate the police. Drone footage also shows the Charger coming within inches of striking one of two police vehicles.
The police give chase and the Charger speeds out of the parking lot and onto the nearby streets. At one stage, the Dodge driver can be driving down the wrong side of the road in his attempts to flee with no less than four police vehicles in pursuit and smoke appearing to bellow out from the passenger side front wheel.
While the title of the video asserts that the driver of the Charger outran the police, many people in the comments claim he was caught. Some also state that the man’s car was seized and impounded.
The owner of the Charger appears to be quite well known in the Houston car scene and has an Instagram page under the name ‘Powered by SRT Houston‘, with over 4,000 followers where he posts pictures of the car, including videos of him doing donuts in public with not much regard to the safety of those around him. In February, he posted a video on YouTube showing dozens of vehicles street racing through Houston (below).
