A 1970 Dodge Challenger doesn’t get many chances to find its actual top end on American roads, but on Germany’s unrestricted Autobahn, this car gets to answer that question for real. Filmed from the driver’s seat with synced speedo and sound, this is one entry in an ongoing series chasing exactly that answer. Watch to see how a fifty-plus-year-old pony car handles roads it was never built for.
This vintage road test captures a 1971 Dodge Challenger 383 exactly as period buyers would have experienced it, with no idea yet that the model would go on to become a genuine collector icon. The 383 sat as the attainable middle option below the 440 and Hemi, the version most real buyers actually drove home. Watching it judged on its own contemporary terms reveals something modern reviews cannot. See what the era actually thought of it.
A ProCharged Dodge Challenger built around an F-1X supercharger set out to do something few cars ever manage: break into the 6-second quarter mile at over 200 mph. Running in the tire-limited X275 class at Maryland International Raceway, it took its shot at the Import vs Domestic World Cup Finals with the whole rivalry watching. The result put this Mopar in rare company on the time slip. Watch the run that settled an old argument.
Ryan Brutt’s Auto Archaeology channel tracks down a Midwest barn packed with Mopar’s rarest aero warriors — a Plymouth Superbird, Dodge Charger Daytona, Charger 500, and more, all sitting together after years out of sight. These wing cars were built in the hundreds specifically to win NASCAR homologation battles, making a collection like this a genuine rarity even among serious collectors. Watch to see exactly what years of storage did to some of Mopar’s most legendary machines.
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon hogs every headline in the Mopar world, but Dodge never stopped building a 707-horsepower muscle car that most buyers can actually walk into a dealership and drive home. Here is what the Hellcat brings to the table when it steps out of its more extreme sibling”s shadow, and why dismissing it as the consolation prize misses the point entirely.
Pulled from storage after sitting untouched for years, this 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A is one of only 2,399 built with the factory 340 Six Pack engine, making it one of the rarest Challengers of its era. Road Test TV walks through the original survivor and poses a question every Mopar fan has an opinion on: original T/A, or new Hellcat? Watch the full barn find walk-around to decide for yourself.
The Coyote versus Hemi debate gets settled the only way that actually counts on Modern Muscle: an owner-driven 2016 Mustang GT 5.0 lines up against the host’s own Dodge Challenger R/T 5.7 for a street race, followed by burnouts. Both cars chase the same goal with completely different engineering philosophies, and both have loyal owners ready to argue their case. See which naturally aspirated V8 actually wins the straight line.
Plymouth hasn’t built a car since 2001, and the real Superbird only existed for one model year back in 1970 — yet somehow this one wears a 2013 build date. Underneath the nose cone and three-piece wing is a modern Dodge Challenger, transformed with an aftermarket aero kit and more badges than most tribute builds bother with. It’s currently for sale through Gateway Classic Cars in Orlando. See how close the recreation gets.
This blue 1973 Dodge Challenger is not just a mystery for guess-the-year games — it is a snapshot of the final model year Dodge fitted the legendary 340 V8 before replacing it with the torque-focused 360. Only 8,435 of the 32,596 Challengers built that year got the 340. Here is why this often-overlooked model year deserves a second look.
Drag racing legend Don “Big Daddy” Garlits doesn’t lend his name to just anything, yet here he is introducing a one-of-one Dodge Challenger packing over 1,000 horsepower. The HellScat fuses two of Dodge’s performance sub-brands into a build that exists nowhere else, and it’s not headed for a museum. It’s going home with whoever wins the Dream Giveaway raffle.
The Dodge Charger R/T and Challenger R/T share a platform and the same 5.7-liter HEMI V8, so which one actually wins on the street? Modern Muscle lines up a 2017 Charger R/T against the host’s own 2015 Challenger R/T for a straight-line matchup that comes down to weight, wheelbase, and launch technique more than spec-sheet bragging rights. The result isn’t as predictable as you’d think. Watch the race to see who takes it.
This vintage road test puts the 1971 AMC Javelin SST through its paces the way period reviewers actually experienced it — no nostalgia, no hindsight, just a genuine pony car contender being judged against Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers on equal footing. AMC never had the marketing muscle of the Big Three, and the Javelin’s sales numbers show it, but the styling and driving impressions here explain why collectors have quietly come back around to it. Watch the full period test to see how it holds up.
Fresh out of the shop and not yet dyno tested, this Challenger SRT8 from Craven Performance runs a supercharged 572 Hemi that is projected to make over 1200 horsepower. RamblinAround caught up with the car at Mega Mopar weekend at Gateway Motorsports Park just days after its first startup. The real numbers are still unknown, but the ambition behind the build is not. Watch to see the car that has everyone talking before it has even been tuned.
Edmunds editors James Riswick and Mike Monticello put the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and Dodge Challenger R/T head to head, evaluating performance, comfort, interior quality, and value on identical terms. It’s a debate that enthusiast forums have argued endlessly without ever reaching a real consensus. The two editors don’t fully agree by the end, and their disagreement reveals just how differently buyers can define what makes a muscle car worth owning. See which car actually wins when the comparison is done properly.
