My RoadRunner was my daily driver for 4 years. About 25 miles each way to work. I wouldn't own a trailer queen personally.
But yeah it was a Plymouth, not a Dodge.

I never drove any of the cars listed in the poll, but I did have a 1970 Plymouth GTX with the 440 engine and 4 speed "pistol grip" shift. This was indeed the fastest car I ever drove. It also had a dual point distributor, factory duals. Quite the car.

Friend of mine had a 71 RR 440-6bbl. It had the Pistol grip shifter, 4.10 Dana 60 and Air grabber hood. Very fast.

You gotta love MoPar Muscle... Most people think Chevy's were king of the muscle car era... Not true, when it came to making power, Mopar had it covered.

Default greatest dodge

The 68 Hemi darts and barracudas still rule super stock always have and always will. Those cars are still very competitive even being 40 years old.Could you imagine if charger daytonas and super birds could still race nascar with the technolgy now those cars would fly! That was the first car to break 200 mph.

AAAAHAHAHAHA. SRT4 is Dodges TRUE muscle car!! Thats funny I needed a good laugh though...

SRT4-NOT A MUSCLE CAR.
Viper-NOT A MUSCLE CAR.

A muscle car is barebones, pure, unadulterated horsepower. Its not about comfort. Its not about good gas mileage. Its about giving the finger to the general public. Its about that raw emotion you get behind the wheel. Drive one and youll know what Im talking about. Old ladies hate them. "Theyre too loud." Little kids run or jump when you fire it up (thats actually really funny to see.) People stop WHATEVER theyre doing and stare. And yes, more than one woman has been known to...well, if I have to tell you, you need to get off your butt and get one. Lets just say if you drive a muscle car and cant get laid, then your pretty much doomed to be with yourself til you die...

Now, to narrow down which DODGE is the greatest, simply cant be done. Its even harder when you include Plymouth.

The greatest drag cars, hands down, are the 68 A bodies. Its been that way since they were introduced.

The greatest NASCAR racers; hands down, undeniably the "Winged Wonders." There has never been an instance where rules were made specifically to quelch the domination of a particular engine and platform as was done in the early 70s...

Then you have the street brawlers. Between the B-bodies, A-bodies, and E-bodies, if it was packing 340 cubes or more, you had THE foundation for a street brawler. No other manufacturer had anything that could match Chryslers ***** in producing muscle cars.

You think Chevy. Camaro. Chevelle. Maybe even Nova. Anybody that says a Corvettes a muscle car is a freakin' moron

You think Ford. Mustang. Torino.

Chrysler...theres probably 15-20 different platforms you could option out to your hearts desire...they OWNED the muscle car era, and still do.

And my personal favorites a 71 HemiCuda convert...

What, no cummins diesel? hehehehe.... I voted for the hemi dart. Small car, big motor, gotta be the baddest on the street. If I had a choice of any mopar it would be a 1964 Plymouth Belvedere, with A864 race track option package, which is what you ordered from the dealer to get what Richard Petty was driving in the Daytona 500.
