What Makes the Perfect Getaway Car?

What Makes the Perfect Getaway Car?5 aug36 min

In Episode 19 of Between Two Pumps, Mike Musto, Terry Shea, and Terry McGean tackle one of the most entertaining hypothetical debates yet: What is the ultimate getaway car?

Starting with a tongue-in-cheek movie scenario involving corrupt zombie cops, the guys put a wide range of vehicles to the test, weighing everything from agility and durability to all-wheel drive, ground clearance, top speed, fuel range, and real-world survivability. Along the way, they debate the merits of the Porsche 911 Dakar, Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, BMW M5, Ford Lightning, and several other unexpected contenders, ultimately narrowing the field to two finalists.

It's a hilarious conversation filled with movie references, spirited arguments, and surprisingly thoughtful automotive analysis that proves choosing the perfect escape vehicle isn't nearly as simple as picking the fastest car.

Which would you choose—the Porsche 911 Dakar, the Jeep Trackhawk, or something else entirely? Let us know in the comments.
