TheStraightPipes reviews the 807-horsepower Dodge Charger Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak at $128,545 CAD, and it turns into something closer to a eulogy than a spec-sheet breakdown. Viewers are calling it the channel’s most comprehensively edited Hellcat video yet, built around a supercharger whine they say never gets old and a reviewer’s kid who sums up the whole car in one word. Watch to see Dodge’s V8 send-off before the Hellcat era officially ends.
A flyer promising prize money at a March drag shootout doesn’t tell you much on its own — but the track behind it, an NHRA-affiliated eighth-mile strip built for grudge racing and small-tire shootouts, has plenty of story to it. Door-crasher format, cash on the line, and a community that shows up test-and-tune after test-and-tune. Here’s what actually happens when the tree drops and real money’s riding on it.
A silent slideshow tracing the Dodge Charger from 1964 through 2008 has turned its comment section into a crowd-sourced Mopar encyclopedia, packed with disputed production numbers and Dukes of Hazzard trivia. Commenters debate everything from the rarity of the 1972 440 Six Pack to how many Chargers survived the show’s stunt work. One line sums up the split verdict on the nameplate’s later years better than any narration could. See the full generational lineup and decide where your favorite Charger falls.
A 1969 Dodge Charger and a 1970 Dodge Challenger both meet violent ends in this chase sequence from Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof — and the comment section has turned into a years-long debate about whether destroying two desirable Mopars for a movie stunt was ever justified. Some viewers point to decades of onscreen Mopar destruction as context; others simply call it the best movie ever made. Watch to see the practical stunt work that still gets muscle car fans arguing nearly two decades later.
A handful of factory Mopars slipped through Mecum Kissimmee 2026 for prices that left the room stunned — a letter-series 300 for around $30,000, a 440-powered ‘Cuda, a Coronet R/T one viewer called the best deal of the weekend. Dealers noticed first, and they’re already marking these cars up. Which ones got away, and what should have sold for twice as much?
“Tater,” Westen Champlin’s 1968 Dodge Charger, has taken plenty of abuse across his build videos, but stuffing a supercharged Hellcat engine rated near 1,500 horsepower into its 58-year-old unibody pushed things further than usual. The swap leans on aftermarket Holley EFI to run a powertrain that chassis was never designed for, and it shows almost immediately once real torque hits the driveline. Fans in the comments are already calling Champlin an honorary member of the Hemi brothers for what happens next. Watch how far belt slack and 1,500 horsepower can push a vintage Mopar before something gives.
This 1973 Dodge Charger claims a custom 605 cubic inch big block making 805 horsepower, numbers that were never remotely possible from the factory. A real ’73 Charger Rallye topped out around 280 horsepower from its 440 Magnum, respectable for the era but nowhere close to this. So what does it take to turn a genuine Rallye-package Charger into an 800-horsepower monster, and how much of the original car survives the transformation?
Most 1969 Dodge Charger R/T buyers skipped the exotic engine option and went straight for the one that actually defined the car: the 440 Magnum. Nearly 92% of that year’s R/T production carried the big block, while only 432 buyers ordered the finicky 426 Hemi instead. The result was a torque monster capable of mid-14-second quarter-miles right off the showroom floor. Here’s what made the standard engine the one enthusiasts still chase decades later.
The Dodge Charger burst onto the scene in 1966, a sleek, fastback beauty that made its Coronet cousin look like the introverted sibling at a car family reunion. Luxuriously priced at $3,100, it was like a Marlin with a snazzier hat. Boasting hidden headlights and a taillight grin, it packed options from a 318-cubic-inch engine to the roaring 426 Hemi. In 1967, the Charger donned fender signals and a vinyl roof, but sales took a nosedive—guess not everyone wanted a car that could double as a disco.
A 1970 Dodge Charger can hide anything from a mild 318 to a snarling 440 Six Pack under that coke-bottle sheet metal – and the difference shows up the instant the throttle opens. Here’s what separated the base R/T Magnum from the genuinely feared Six Pack option, and why collectors still chase the numbers-matching cars decades later. Real muscle, real history, real reasons to care what’s under this Charger’s hood.
This race-prepped Camaro isn’t just for sale, it’s a rolling piece of the pony car war Chevrolet started on purpose. When reporters asked what ‘Camaro’ meant, Chevy’s famous answer was ‘a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs,’ and the rivalry that followed pushed both brands into a genuine horsepower arms race. Decades later, this car still runs like it has something to prove.
SpeedKore’s carbon fiber beauties are making jaws drop at SEMA 2016! These aren’t your grandma’s muscle cars; think 2017 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, Ford Mustang GT Fastback, and the classic 1970 Plymouth Cuda and Dodge Charger, all wrapped in sleek carbon fiber. It’s like if Batman had a garage sale, and you’re invited! The craftsmanship is so stunning, even the other cars are jealous. SpeedKore isn’t just raising the bar; they’re launching it into orbit!
Before the 1969 Dodge Charger became a movie legend, Dodge sold it on TV with comedian Stu Gilliam and actress Joan Parker as part of “The Dodge Boys” campaign. This thirty-second pitch is over fifty years old and still working on viewers today. See how Detroit built an entire personality around a muscle car before social media ever existed.
This 1967 Dodge Charger was not built for a dealer lot — it was assembled for Dodge’s stand at the International Auto Show, loaded with options and powered by the 426 Hemi most buyers could only special-order and hope for. Now preserved in The Brothers Collection, the car still carries its factory show-car details, right down to a four-bucket-seat interior fans call one of Chrysler’s best. Watch to see what almost sixty years of careful preservation looks like up close.
A 1968 Dodge Charger with a Hemi is a familiar story. This one hides a twin-turbocharged 8.0-liter Dodge Viper V10 making 1,300 horsepower, roughly triple what the engine produced in a factory RT/10. Getting a V10 that was never designed for boost to survive that kind of power takes forged internals, a billet intake and a fuel system built for E85. Read on to find out why the 1968 Charger keeps getting picked for swaps like this.
