Dodge has quite a pedigree in the American motoring industry. The company falls under the wing of the Fiat-Chrysler group. It has been responsible for giving us some exceptional vehicles. They found success in the past, but they're current offerings of cars have some brilliant performance vehicles.
While their classic vehicles tend to only be straight-line drag racers, they've done a great job on their more modern cars. Not only are these incredibly fast in straight lines, but they can also handle corners much better than you'd expect. On a track in the hands of the right driver, these performance vehicles can easily compete with modern supercars.
However, some of these cars have a proper reputation for being an appropriate driver's car. Meaning that in the hands of an inexperienced driver, you might not be able to get the best out of them. They feature massive engines that can quickly provide you with a lot of torque steer. Here are the best Dodge performance cars.
15 2014 Dodge SRT Viper TA
When it comes to performance Dodge vehicles, none can match the allure of the Viper. The 2014 Dodge SRT Viper TA is an absolute track monster, TA stands for time attack. It's got an 8.4-Liter V-10 engine that's capable of producing 640-horsepower. You'll get from 0-60mph in a rapid 3.3 seconds.
14 2018 Dodge Demon
The name Demon definitely suits this monstrous vehicle, it boasts an 808-horsepower supercharged 6.2-Liter Hemi V-8. All this power means that the Demon is capable of thundering from 0-60mph in heart-stopping 2.3 seconds. It's one of the only production cars that's capable of pulling a wheelie. There's nothing that can quite explain the sensation of speed.
13 2017 Dodge Viper SRT
It's criminal that Dodge halted production for the Viper in 2017, and that makes these last few cars even more special. The SRT features a V-10 8.4-Liter Hemi engine that blurts out 645-horsepower. It's a lot tamer than Vipers of the past but, if you don't respect the power, it'll just as easily chew you up and spit you out!
12 2018 Dodge Charger Hellcat SRT
With a name like the Hellcat, you can definitely expect ferocious levels of performance from these particular vehicles. The Charger SRT Hellcat features a supercharged 6.2-Liter Hemi SRT Hellcat V-8 engine capable of generating 707-horsepower. It's capable of jetting from 0-60mph in a rapid 3.6 seconds. Its aerodynamic shape means that it's brilliant in the corners as well.
11 2018 Dodge Challenger Hellcat SRT
Like its older brother, the Challenger Hellcat SRT features a supercharged 6.2-Liter Hemi SRT Hellcat V-8 engine that generates the same 707-horsepower. It performs the same in a straight line being capable of going from 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds. However, it lags behind the Charger in the corners because of its less aerodynamic shape.
10 2016 Dodge Viper ACR
The ACR is another mad version of the already lethal Dodge Viper. Underneath the hood of the vehicle features an 8.4-Liter V-10 engine that's capable of producing 645-horsepower. It's capable of rushing from 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds. In the hands of the right driver, it absolutely shreds corners as well. There's nothing quite like driving a Viper.
9 2010 Dodge Viper SRT 10

8 1999 Dodge Viper GT2
After winning the 1-2 class at LeMans 1998, Dodge decided to commemorate their victories by releasing a limited-edition vehicle. The result is the Dodge Viper GT2, which is nearly identical to the Viper-GTS racer. It features an 8.0-Liter V-10 engine capable of generating 450-horsepower, and the GT2 will jet from 0-60mph in 4.0 seconds.
7 1996 Dodge Viper RT/10
1996 marks the year we saw the release of the first Dodge Viper. It featured the signature 8.0-Liter V-10 engine and was capable of going from 0-60mph in 4.1 seconds. Ever since its inception, it became the definitive American supercar. It's a shame that we had to see the end of the Viper, and one can only hope Dodge brings the vehicle back.
6 2017 Dodge Charger SRT 392
Back in 2017, the Dodge Charger SRT 392 was among the only American performance sedans you could buy. That's not necessarily bad because the Charger SRT 392 features a 6.4-Litre V-8 that generates 485-horsepower. The Charger SRT 392 is capable of reaching from 0-60mph in an exhilarating 4.2 seconds.
5 2004 Dodge Ram SRT10
In 2004, Dodge was responsible for releasing one of the fastest production pickup trucks of all time. Underneath the hood of this Ram pickup was the same 8.0-Liter V-10 engine from the Dodge Viper. The results were that the car was capable of going from 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds.
4 2006 Dodge Charger SRT-8
The Dodge Charger is one of the essential vehicles responsible for bringing back the American muscle car. Powering this icon is a 6.0-Liter V-8 that generates 425-horsepower, which allows it to rage from 0-60mph in 5 seconds. Unfortunately, the vehicle has a top speed limiter that constrains it to 165mph.
3 2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4
There's something about the Neon SRT-4 that makes it seem more of a Subaru than a Dodge. It also drove similar to a Subaru that's capable of racing from 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and is capable of reaching a top speed of 153mph. It's also no joke in the corners.
2 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A
The 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A is one of the most iconic muscle cars on the market. It features a naturally aspirated 5.6-Liter V-6 engine that's capable of producing 290-horsepower. All that power is paired with a classic 4-speed manual gearbox that works beautifully. However, these are no piece of cake to drive.
1 1968 Dodge Dart GTS 440
Back in the day, the 1968 Dodge Dart GTS 440 was quickly one of the best vehicles you could buy. It's known as the 440 because of the size of the V-8 engine in the car. This classic was capable of rushing from 0-60mph in 5 seconds, fast even by today's standards.
