IIRC, they couldn't keep up with the Cop version of the Cherokees either. I do rememeber seeing one police chase where some kids stole a then brand new to the market Durango. The CV's and Caprices were chasing that truck all over the place and it took a K-9 Officer in a XJ to catch and stop the Durango. Kinda one of those "It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar" things:p:
There was another one where they were going after some purse snatchers in a naturally asperated (maybe a whole 95 HP) Shadow or Sundance 5dr. The police chased the little P-Body all over with their big bad CVs and LT1 Caprices but couldn't stop the thing. These crooks had the car almost completely sideways on a couple occasions and had the car up on an embankment that was at a greater angle than alot of oval tracks while trying to dodge a Porsche on the side of the road. The only thing that stopped the car was that the driver ran into the back of a Caprice trying to stop him and spun the car and crunched hte front end down to the radiator as well as popping the hood latch allowing the hood to fly open while on the move.
I'll have to see if I can find those on YouTube.........................
