1960'S - 7. 1969 PLYMOUTH ROAD RUNNER 426 HEMI — 5.1 SECONDS (TIE)

January 1969What We Said: “The Hemi-powered Road Runner is one hell of an Econo-Racer. . . . What is it like on the street? Breathtaking. The Hemi Road Runner has more pure mechanical presence than any other American automobile—even more than the Z/28 Camaro which is another thinly disguised race car we’ve grown to love. . . . The exhaust explodes like Krakatoa and the wailing howl of surprised air being sucked into the intakes turns heads for blocks. Baby, you know you’re in the presence.”
