Dodge Cummins Pulls Hard On Foxbody Mustang!

by Wes

A Cummins-powered diesel truck runs a legitimate 9.18 seconds at 147.46 mph at a Pinks All Out event at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio, numbers that would embarrass plenty of sports cars. The uploader even had to clarify it was a full quarter-mile pass after skeptical commenters assumed it was the shorter eighth-mile. Viewers in the comments cannot decide whether to be impressed or defensive about a truck running these numbers. Watch the launch and see why fifteen to twenty psi of boost changes everything.

Before You Buy a ’68-’70 Charger, Check These Hidden Rust Traps

by Jack Harmon

You have found the second-generation Charger you have been dreaming about, the coke-bottle body, the hidden headlights, the price tag north of fifty grand. The paint looks great, the engine fires on the first crank, and the seller swears it is solid. Then you press a thumb into the roof skin behind the rear glass and feel it give. Rust on these Mopars rarely stays where you can see it, and the places it hides are exactly the places a rushed buyer never checks. Here is where to look before you hand over a deposit.

Dodge Charger second generation-to 2014

by Ross Mills

By 2014, the Dodge Charger SRT8 packed a 470-horsepower V8 and genuine track-ready braking into a car still priced around $30,000 — less than half what comparable European performance sedans cost at the time. Getting there took three model years of shared engineering with the Chrysler 300, a redesigned face, and an engine lineup that kept growing without ever changing the car’s basic bones. Read on to find out how this generation closed out with a genuine value argument, not just an attitude.

Chrysler Hemi Power 3 of 5

by Ross Mills

Before the 426 Hemi became the engine everyone associates with the name, Dodge was quietly running two completely different cylinder head designs side by side through the 1950s — a genuine hemispherical head and a cheaper poly compromise, often wearing nearly identical badging. Telling them apart today comes down to details as small as a dimple stamped into a valve cover. Read on to find out how to actually identify which engine is under the hood.

Unleash the Fury: Quarter Mile Drag Races of 1960s Muscle Legends

by Jack Harmon

Long before dyno charts and spec sheets settled arguments, a muscle car’s reputation was made on the quarter mile in front of a crowd. Dodge’s 80-unit 1968 Hemi Dart reportedly ran into the 9s, a Royal Pontiac-tuned 1969 GTO hit the mid-13s, and a 1969 Hurst/Olds 442 most fans overlook cleared the strip in 13.9 seconds. Read on for why these old numbers still drive prices at auction more than fifty years later.
