The Cavalry Bootlegger is a modified version of the Hunter Cavalry and is available in Burnout Paradise as a part of the Legendary Cars Pack. It sports a Mexican flag on the roof. Players can click LStick or P to sound the horn which is the same horn used on the General Lee from the show "The Dukes of Hazzard". This special version of the Cavalry itself has hidden headlamps instead of the four headlights in both sides, a brush guard mounted in its front bumper, unopenable doors and removed side windows.

It is still an excellent beginning car for those who desire Stunt Run events because of its greater boost and average speed over the standard Hunter Cavalry. It can perform Barrel Rolls and Flat Spins much like the Cavalry. The early Cavalry models have reduced stats to make them easier to drive for new Burnout players but makes the Bootlegger the fastest Cavalry in the game. This baby is sure to attract the attention of every cop wannabe within visual range in this vehicle. At the rate of speeds you'll be going in this compared to other Cavs, they don't need a good look to tell that it's a Bootlegger.

Resemblance

The Bootlegger resembles a 1969 model Dodge Charger from The Dukes of Hazzard TV Series known as The General Lee with some minor differences. This vehicle features a Mexican flag on its roof instead of the Confederate flag, the numbers '01' on the sides are done in a different style, and a Mexican flag appears on the license plate with the registration - 'Wanted'. The default color of the car is white as opposed to the orange tone of the car it is based on the original car but this can be changed in the Junkyard.

The name Bootlegger is a reference to the real-life inspiration of The General Lee which was inspired by Jerry Rushing of whom was a Bootlegger in the mid 20th century. IJerry Rushing's custom car dubbed 'The Traveller' was inspired by General Robert E. Lee's favourite horse.

The Bootlegger is meant to resemble the '69 Dodge Charger from The Dukes of Hazzard but there are also large elements of the Pontiac GTO Judge with the rear end of a Mustang Boss 302.

Notes

  • The Bootlegger's horn will die out if played during a crash.
  • On the top of the car is a Mexican Flag and the words "Chicanator" on either side. Chicanator was an avid poster of the original Criterion forums. The Mexican Flags can also be found on the license plate with the words WANTED in front of them.
  • This vehicle can't be used in an Online Cops & Robbers game.
  • The Hunter Cavalry Bootlegger has a V8 engine.
  • Criterion replaced the Confederate flag on the top of the Bootlegger with a Mexican flag to avoid controversy.
  • This car has the same rims as the Carson Annihilator.
