When Dodge decided to stuff a pavement-shaking Cummins turbodiesel engine into its Ram pickup truck way back in 1989, the engineers had to overcome a litany of technical and mechanical hurdles. Turns out, that was child’s play compared to stuffing one in a hot rod. But that’s exactly what some crazy builders did here. Normally
The Dodge Demon and Ford Raptor represent the pinnacle of their respective performance niches: the Demon being an all-out, purpose-built drag car, and the Raptor a dune-hopping, desert-streaking off-roader. To complement their performance, both the Raptor and Demon got an aggressive visual treatment, including unique aero kits, modified stances, and (of course) radically-styled wheels. Voxx
When Dodge initially teased the Challenger SRT Demon, it was poised to be the world’s fastest, most powerful production muscle car. With 800+ horsepower, a 9.65-second 1/4-mile ET, and the largest hood scoop ever attached to a production vehicle, Dodge made sure it delivered. (You can read more incredible Demon facts here.) But now, the
Cars from the 1970s are often dismissed in favor of their 1960s-era brethren. And that’s a cryin’ shame, because these “malaise era” vehicles are actually a lot of fun. They’re easy to work on, can be modded for more power, and (in many cases) offer better handling and ride quality out-of-the-box than cars built before the
Editor’s Note: The decade of the 1960s is considered by many to be the greatest in American automotive history. There’s little mystery why. The 1960s gave birth to the “muscle car wars” and game-changing performance pony cars. Legends like the Pontiac GTO, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, HEMI-powered Mopars, and several others. How does one choose which
By now, you’ve probably heard: The Dodge Demon is coming back to possess our souls and melt our faces in the form of the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. Because, apparently, the 707-horsepower Hellcat just wasn’t getting it done for some people. While Fiat Chrysler has confirmed the Demon’s summoning, officials haven’t shared power numbers,
The United States celebrated the unofficial kickoff to summer this past weekend. Mopar enthusiasts in northeast Ohio chose to mark the occasion by showing off their vehicles at Summit Racing’s annual All Mopar Show in Tallmadge, OH on Sunday. All Dodge, Chrysler, and Plymouth vehicles are welcome from any era, and there was a wide array of them on
The Mopar B-Bodies. We have a soft spot for them. Hopefully, you understand. We spotted this 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 outside the Summit Racing retail store in Ohio, and had to share. This ’66 Coronet, if still equipped with the original engine, is powered by a 440-cubic-inch, four-barrel-carbureted Magnum V8 engine with a 10.1 compression
Where there’s smoke there’s usually fire. Let’s hope that’s true with the news surrounding the potential return of three iconic American automobile models. Barracuda According to multiple sources, the Barracuda may return as soon as 2019 under the Dodge umbrella. We’ve been hearing reports of the Barracuda’s return for quite some time; however, Motor Authority reported that a
The 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models were a massive hit with consumers. They were so popular that Dodge couldn’t keep up with demand. So Dodge officials have a plan. For 2016, Dodge will produce twice as many of the desired Hellcat machines. You can read the official press release here: AUBURN HILLS, MI. — Dodge will soon
