Arguably, it all began with the 1951 release of the vaunted V8 Hemi engine. This legendary beast passed through a handful of displacements until finally morphing into the allconquering 426. Chryslers V8 prowess shone in early 1960s factorylightweight drag cars then moved to muscleera classics like the Charger, Roadrunner, GTX, Super Bee, and Superbird.But it wasnt just about Hemis; Chrysler offered a variety of V8 engines including 340, 383, and 440 displacements fitted to other topflight cars like the Barracuda, Challenger, Cuda, and Duster. No other Detroit automaker offered a wider variety of performance cars in the 1960 and early 70s.Emissions requirements and everincreasing insurance tabs put the squeeze on performance cars beginning in the mid1970s, and Mopar performance declined for decades. But it returned with a vengeance in the 21st century, first in the guise of a new Charger (4door!) and then the beloved retrodesign Challenger. Both of these iconic models were put to rest in 2023, but not before unleashing the wild 807horsepower Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye and the outrageous 1,025horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. Power to the people, indeed!The Complete Book of Dodge and Plymouth Muscle Cars is a musthave reference for all Mopar muscle fans.
