At the 2017 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Dodge revved up excitement by showcasing a vibrant lineup of high-performance vehicles that scream, “I’m fast, and I know it!” Attendees were treated to a visual feast of colorful cars and got to indulge their inner speed demon with a virtual ride in a Hellcat Challenger. It’s safe to say Dodge made its point clear: they’re not just showing up, they’re showing off, and they’re doing it with flair and horsepower to spare!
Back in 1969, Ford was itching to give Dodge’s 426 Hemi a run for its money on the NASCAR tracks with the BOSS 429 engine. But there was a twist: NASCAR rules demanded at least 500 street versions before racing, and Ford cheekily realized the engine didn’t need to be in the same car raced. Enter the Mustang, now housing this beastly 375 HP NASCAR engine, effectively turning it into the muscle car version of an over-caffeinated squirrel—fast, furious, and ready to steal the spotlight!
In the world of muscle cars, Andre Gordon’s ’71 Dodge Dart Swinger is revving up excitement with its racing setup. Sporting a 340-cubic-inch V-8 engine and a four-speed manual transmission featuring a Hurst pistol grip shifter, this classic car is ready to leave others eating dust. Meanwhile, Dodge Dart sedans from 2013 and 2014 are trying to stop… quite literally, as 100,000 of them face a recall for potentially faulty brakes. It’s a tale of two Darts: one blazing forward, the other hitting the brakes!
Rev your engines—Dodge is set to inject high-octane excitement at the 10th annual Roadkill Nights! Amid a bumpy 2025 and a 49% sales nosedive, Dodge plans a big reveal: a new muscle car, promising to reignite the brand’s mojo. As the electric Charger Daytona’s silent roar failed to electrify fans, this could be Dodge’s moment to roar back to glory. Will it revitalize the brand? Tune in to find out!
