Burning rubber, ruling drag strips and breaking records are what Dodge is all about. They have always excelled in keeping alive the original American muscle car design and incorporating the largest, most powerful engines into production cars. But as of now, the legendary Dodge Viper has already retired into the pages of history and the Charger and Challenger are at the verge of electrification. But Dodge has evidently made some of the best and fastest cars of American automotive history, and today we look back at the best of them.

Technically, the fastest Dodge car ever made is the 1,035-hp Hennessey HPE1000 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon that can do a 0-60 in a mind-boggling 1.9 seconds. However, let’s stick to stock Dodge fastest cars here, as they have made plenty of machines that can smoke hypercars right out of the factory.

In 1968, while competitors arrived battle-ready to the drag strip, Dodge gave them a war. They brought hellfire with them by creating a factory-built drag racer out of a 1968 Dodge Dart GTS hardtop. The new model was code-named LO23 and only 80 units of it were made. It had a beastly 7.0-liter race-spec 426 Hemi V8 engine under the hood and did 0 to 60 in just 3.5 seconds. This ultra-rare, Hemi Dart will always remain a gem among American classic cars.
