Now, before you jump to the comments to make your answers, I should provide a setting and some circumstances for you to consider, since this is two-part action set piece we’re talking about.

August 31, 1300 hours. Death Valley. You hold !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! —standard issue—on your right hand, you hold a briefcase containing five hard drives loaded with specifics for three different military operations that will wipe out all of al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, and Islamic State at once, and without collateral damage or civilian casualties, in the other. That briefcase used to be with an ultra-fundamental extremist-fascist !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (played by Shirley Manson), and now she is chasing you in her personal !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , armed with a Dillon M134 Gatling Gun below the cockpit and missiles at the weapons pylons. You manage to get in a hangar full of cars just before your first getaway car gets shredded by tracers.

Now you have to choose the car you’ll use. Your first one barely got away with it, so you’ve got to choose wisely. And quickly, because every other car you didn’t choose in that hangar—and that hangar—will go up in smoke in just 5 rockets. She hovers above, waiting for you to come out, not knowing there’s a small butte with an exit some 15 miles away. She finds, you, fires, probably hits the sides of your chosen car, but soon you get back on the road and into the Vegas strip. You get the case back to where it belongs, you get a RPG, the heli blows up with her in it.

Question: what car did you choose?

My choice is this.

It’s burly enough to take shots and boss around traffic, agile enough to dance past the spray, and fast enough to help you get away with it, be it desert or over other cars.

How about you? What car would you drive if a criminal mastermind is chasing you with an attack chopper? You may choose two cars, one for a road chase and one for an off-road chase, or choose just one for both. It’s your call.

Haven’t been really keeping up with my attack helios. But this one has an 182 mph top speed. bad news; you’re not outrunning it if you have something that isn’t a hellcat, C7Z or the latest of supercars.

Worse news; Even if your do, it won’t even matter. Staying alive isn’t a matter of just beating the helo in a drag race; it’s a matter of outrunning it’s advanced targeting systems and hellfire missiles (Range: up to 5 mi, Speed: 999 mph ) Even an airplane would have it’s work cut out for it in escaping this thing, a car would just be too slow.

Your best options are 1) Get as far away (at least 5 miles) before it becomes airborne or, 2) Contact the pilot and somehow convince her not to shoot you.

This might work, because the helo pilot will die laughing.

Well if you have the magic hook why not just batman your way up into the helo, kick the pilot out, and hellfire the entire ISIS command structure?

The woman chasing (an ultra-fundamental extremist-fascist Quiverfull) you is in this chopper.

Should be an even fight.

Wicked mods, but I think the Pajero’s enough.

That’s the magic you automatically get if you get the Just Cause 2 Magical Grappling Hook Package Option.

Not as many features as the Apache, but still has the hellfire missiles, advanced targeting systems, and slightly-reduced-but-still-faster-than-many-cars-you-can-buy 175 MPH top speed.

The laser bead travels at the speed of light, and the missile payload will be delivered to you at a still ridiculous 999MPH. This is the reality; a stationary attack helicopter in the air would have no issue at all taking out a 200+MPH target armed with weapons and targeting systems like these. It’s not even remotely close to an even fight.

So I guess those documents will be toast either way. I suck at being a secret agent.

But you know, she’d still treat the case as precious cargo, and wouldn’t just carelessly fire a missile to end it all. Remember: she’s a Quiverfull. And the hangar’s got a tunnel with an exit 15 miles away. Should be enough leeway.

All of you are doing it wrong:

Kinja'd!!!

One doesn’t need anything special to outrun a Heli piloted by a woman. #lolsexist

Seriously though, the ultra-fundamental extremist-fascist Quiverfull in question is not explicitly stated to be a trained army pilot, so I’d question her ability to get that thing off the ground in the first place, let alone her knowledge of how to use the onboard weaponry. You could choose a Subaru 360, get home safely and then sell the briefcase to the chinese government.

Sell it to the Chinese? Dude, as a Filipino, that’s gonna be the last shit I’ll do. The pilot? Depends. Most evil villains are adept at operating aerial machinery, and the crazed terrorist Quiverfull in question (played by the same actress that portrayed Catherine Weaver in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) would probably be decent at flying and firing, but yeah, she’d be stunned to see that as a getaway car.

slightly lifted Dinan E93 M3 convertible painted in the same paint the F119 stealth fighter was.

Lift for running across the dirt at 150MPH

Dinan M3 for speed on the roads, and the performance to blow the heli away

convertible because 360* shooting capability at the heli, plus style!

stealth fighter paint because by the time she's airbourne i'm in LA, and she can't find me on a radar!
