It is not a secret that the Big Three have released some of the most remarkable vehicles ever made. In fact, these companies were so successful at their own craft that they eventually established a solid reputation at home and overseas. Names such as Chevrolet, Ford, or Dodge embody sportiness, reliability, and American excellence. As a matter of fact, vehicles such as the Ford F-150 Raptor or the Dodge Challenger are perceived as some of the best sport-oriented vehicles out there.

Ford and GM have been waging a power and commercial war for more than seven decades. While Ford and GM were going toe-to-toe, Mopar was somewhat lagging behind. In fact, these cars were often overlooked until what was then Chrysler started putting an emphasis on manufacturing aesthetically attractive vehicles. Some of the sickest limited edition Mopar muscle cars are faster and more pleasing to the eye than anything released by Ford or GM.

After recovering from a mild recession in 1958, the economy was getting back on track. Jobs were plentiful. Wages were high enough for a milkman to afford a home and a decent vehicle. The automotive industry was booming back in 1964. Ford was on the verge of releasing its legendary Mustang, Chevy had improved its outstanding Corvette. However, not everybody could afford a brand-new Mustang or Corvette.

Plymouth was known for being on the lowest end of the spectrum. As a result, no one would have ever expected Chrysler to equip some Plymouth cars with some of the best engines available back then. The Fury Max Wedge is the type of classic Mopar cars gearheads can modify into monsters as it originally comes with the classic 426 cu in Max Wedge V8 that is rated at 425 hp at 5,600 rpm and 480 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm.

From the time Chrysler gave Dodge the green light to release the Charger until things got sour in the mid-70s, Dodge's larger muscle car was considered to be one of the most valuable and attractive sports cars marketed by Chrysler. It was not the cheapest muscle car back in 1969, but its stern look and scary growl was worth spending an additional couple hundred dollars.

The Charger R/T is one of the sickest Mopars from the 1960s, so much so that it is today considered to be one of the manliest and meanest classic muscle cars ever made. The 426 Hemi V8 nestled in the engine bay makes 425 hp at 5,000 rpm and 490 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. It is important to remember that despite having similar outputs, the Max Wedge and the Hemi are different engines, as the names indicate.

Every domestic automotive giant has segmented its portfolio. At Chrysler, it is not a secret that Plymouth was the affordable brand. It was never meant to be something that could rival Dodge or Chrysler. On the other side of the spectrum sits Chrysler. Only rivaled by Lincoln and Cadillac, Chrysler made sure to produce luxurious vehicles that were not necessarily meant to be fast. Comfort and status were far more important to potential buyers.

While cars such as the Charger and the 'Cuda were busy doing burnouts at the nearest illegal street race, the Chrysler 300 Hurst was pulling up to the country club with class. Despite not being as virulent as other Chrysler Group cars, the 300 Hurst is still rocking a potent 440 cu in RB V8 that makes 375 hp 4,600 rpm and 480 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm.

The muscle truck craze is not new. In fact, one of the earliest muscle truck is the 1964 Dodge D100 Sweptline. It was then possible to order the Sweptline with the 426 Max Wedge option. Things sort of settle down until Dodge came back in 1976 with the Warlock and the L'il Red Express. It was not until 2004 that Dodge would return with the ultimate muscle truck.

The Dodge Ram SRT-10 is not a muscle truck. It is a super truck. It was never meant to go off-road, unlike trucks such as the Ford F-150 Raptor or the Ram TRX. Equipped with the same 8.3-liter V10 found in the third generation Viper, the Ram SRT-10 goes from a standstill to 60 in 4.8 seconds. The powerplant churns out 500 hp at 5,600 rpm and 525 hp at 4,200 rpm.

When looking at some of the cars released by Dodge over the decades, gearheads may think that Chrysler decided to use Dodge as its sports car provider. From the 426 Hemi-equipped Chargers and Challengers from the early 70s to the supercar-like cars of the 90s and 2000s, it is fair to say that Dodge has done a much better job at marketing and selling sports cars made in America.

First released in 1991, the Dodge Viper ended up becoming one of America's most highly-revered vehicles. The TV show Viper served as a commercial for the years that followed the release of the Viper. In 2016, Dodge offered another ACR version of its beastly street-legal race car. The engine remains the 8.3-liter V10 and is rated at 645 hp at 6,200 rpm and 600 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm.

The issue with concept cars is that they often do not materialize, or they go to production but are almost nothing like the concept that was initially introduced. However, if your name is Satoshi Nakamoto or Alwaleed bin Talal, then it is possible to directly contact car companies and have them turn a concept car into a very unique and exclusive vehicle.

Though the Trailcat never made it to production, it is fair to assume that a Jeep dealership with a real love for cars would encourage Jeep to develop something similar to COPO. This off-road beast comes with the same supercharged and intercooled 6.2-liter V8 found in all Hellcats. This particular Wrangler was engineered to withstand the 707 hp the engine produces.

Muscle trucks are finally getting traction, and so are muscle SUVs. Once again, it was Jeep that truly shook up the scene with its beastly Grand Cherokee SRT-8 in 2005. Jeep slapped a huge 6.1L Hemi V8 under the hood, and allowed families nationwide to go from their homes to the grocery store in no time. The Grand Cherokee SRT-8 was then the best SUV to go to the drag strip and to drop off the kids at school.

The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 is great. However, the Trackhawk is the real deal. For the petrol heads that cannot be satisfied with 475 hp, there is always the Trackhawk. Fitted with the same engine found on the Hellcats, the Trackhawk boasts a staggering 707 hp at the crankshaft. With an MSRP of $85,900, the Trackhawk is not made to be driven by inexperienced drivers.

2010 was a terrific year for super truck fans, but not so much for GM and Chrysler. The Ford F-150 Raptor was released. Upon its release, the Raptor was perceived as invincible. Though it was a great marketing angle, it led Raptor owners to get in situations that completely ruined their $39,000 trucks. The Raptor has been the ultimate truck for over ten years now, but things are changing rapidly.

Until last year, not a single domestic carmaker was able to come up with a truck that was as powerful and versatile as the Raptor. When Dodge announced that it would finally bring back its own muscle truck, gearheads starting wondering whether it would come with the Hellcat engine crate or not. Dodge did just that. It provided the truck with a "toned down" version of the Hellcat engine. Instead of 707 hp, the TRX churns out 702 hp. That is 702 hp in a quad cab truck. Insane.

Everybody was pumped when Dodge announced that they would bring back the Charger. This is quite normal given the fact that the Charger used to be Dodge's crown jewel back in the late 60s and early 70s. However, most people expecting the Charger were deeply disappointed when it finally came out in 2006. The coupe became a sedan, and hardcore muscle car fans were livid.

The 2021 Dodge Charger Hellcat Redeye is among the coolest special edition Mopars from the last two decades. As if the Hellcat was not outrageous enough, Dodge moved ahead with a larger 2.7-liter supercharger for the Redeye edition. As a result, the power output of the car increased from 707 hp to 797 hp. The Lamborghini Aventador starts at $517,770, and its V12 cranks out 759 hp. The Hellcat Redeye starts at $80,090.

Carmakers enjoy perpetuating traditions. At Ford, some vehicles such as the Boss 302 are released every other decade. At Chevy, the ZR1 or Z28 trims are not always made available, but when they are, they become collectibles. Things are very different at Chrysler (now Stellantis). While Ford and Chevy re-release street-legal and legendary trims, Dodge enjoys bringing back emotions from the 60s.

The Challenger Drag Pak may not be the sort of car one would use as a daily driver, but it sure is a fun car to take to the drag strip. The car comes equipped to pop wheelies as soon as the green light comes on. Underneath the hood sits a 354 cu in Hemi V8 combined with a huge 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger. NHRA-rated at 630 hp, this beast is unfortunately reserved for a few lucky and wealthy car fans. The NHRA rating is for classification purposes, not traditional engine dyno figures. The 2015 Challenger SRT Drag Pak used an earlier iteration of the engine and made about 1200 real-world horsepower, which means the latest version should generate a bit more than that.
