Dodge Charger Daytona vs. Stock Charger vs. Hellcat: Wind Tunnel

Ever wondered how effective the nose cones and spoilers on those iconic 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona “aero warriors” really were? We set up a comparison between a 1969 Dodge Charger Hemi; an authentic stock Charger Daytona; and, just for the heck of it, a 2015 Dodge Charger Hellcat. Here’s what we found out.

  1. Still,,,love the old body Styles…American Muscle….:-) :-)

  2. What is this proving beating 50 year old designs ? Wow lol. I will always prefer these dinosaurs. Cars used to have style and personality.

  3. Yeah, a Charger Hellcat is more aerodynamic at 100-175mph…but us mere mortals drive our cars, including muscle/classic cars at 35-60mph and rarely over 70. A brick or an arrow’s drag at 50mph means very little. All this proves is Chrysler figured out with slide rules and a wind tunnel a way to take a brick and turn it into a 200+mph arrow. And 50 years later we have a 4dr arrow that benefited from 50 year old technology. Instead of complaining, I am combining the best of both worlds. My 63 Studebaker Lark is quick, fuel efficient, handles well, yet has the individuality lacking in the good, yet herd mentality designs of today. A Charger of today has unbelievable performance yet looks generally like any Honda. But the downforce, drag coefficient, and lift numbers mean very little outside a drag strip or Talledaga.
