    Dodge rolled out a Charger Widebody concept during March's Spring Fest Mopar meet in Pomona, California.

    2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 now cleared for NHRA competition

Ahead of customer deliveries, Dodge announced on Tuesday that the car has been cleared to race in NHRA Stock and Super Stock competitions. Clearing the muscle car for racing in both...

  • Speedkore Dodge Challenger Demon with 1,400 hp

    SpeedKore shocked us with its 1,400-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Demon build at the 2018 SEMA show, but we now have a good look at just how brutal of a machine it is. Video from That Racing Channel on YouTube shows SpeedKore's extra demonic Challenger SRT Demon hit the dragstrip. Let's make this clear: it sounds angry. The 1,400 hp is the figure measured at the crank, but 1,203 hp still makes its way to the rear wheels. The Wisconsin-based shop had one goal when it set out to build the car: make the fastest Demon on the planet. We'd say Speedkore succeeded because the car ran an...

    1992 Dodge Viper in time-capsule condition for sale

    The Dodge Viper left this world in 2017 and we have a feeling that fact has done good things for the cars' values. Case in point, this 1992 Dodge Viper for sale on eBay. However, what's really bound to drive up the price of this car is the fact it was purchased new and has since sat stored in a...

    1992 Dodge Viper: 100 Cars That Matter

    In the late 1980s, post-K-car Chrysler was desperate for attention. The good fortune of the decade had begun to dwindle and the automaker knew it needed something big to turn the limelight back on its aging products. Enter the Dodge Viper. Chrysler made more than a splash in 1989 when the Viper...

  • 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody

    You better get them while they last, folks, as the next Dodge Challenger looks like it's going to be a very different beast to the car on sale today. That's the word of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Mike Manley, who took over following the sudden death of his predecessor, Sergio Marchionne, last July. "I think that electrification will certainly be part of the formula that says what is American muscle in the future," Manley told The Detroit News in an interview published Saturday. "What it isn’t going to be is a V-8, supercharged, 700-horsepower engine." The current Challenger has been...

    Hennessey's 1,035-HP Dodge Challenger SRT Demon sounds like it came from hell

With the company's HPE1000 package, the Demon makes a whopping 880 horsepower at the rear wheels. That equates to around 1,035 hp at the...

    2019 Dodge Challenger preview

    The Dodge Challenger has been with us since 2008, but like a fine wine it just gets better with age. The vehicle has entered the 2019 model year, and while the 840-horsepower SRT Demon is no longer at the party, the drag strip hero's influence can be felt in several models in the lineup, none more...

  • Mid-engine Dodge Viper mule

    The automotive industry is full of incredibly fascinating tales of "what could have been." We can think of numerous examples, but one we're sure few have heard of has just surfaced: Dodge built a business case for a mid-engined Viper in the 1990s. Dodge could have beaten both Ford and Chevrolet's C8 Corvette to the punch with a mid-engined supercar over two decades ago, but ultimately executives weren't thrilled about the idea. Classic car insurance experts Hagerty told the story in a report last week with thoughtful insight from Chris Theodore, Chrysler’s former general manager in...

    Demon-powered, carbon fiber-bodied 1970 Dodge Charger arrives at SEMA

    Imagine a 1970 Dodge Charger with all of the best modifications imaginable thrown in.

It's a carbon fiber-bodied beast with a V-8 borrowed from a 2018 Dodge...
