1960'S - 10. 1966 PLYMOUTH SATELLITE 426 HEMI — 5.3 SECONDS (TIE)

April 1966

What We Said: “As a machine for sitting down in and going fast—and never mind all that jazz about what it looks like or how the windows fit—that’s where Chrysler Corporation’s Hemi-426 really gets the job done. It offers the best combination of brute performance and tractable street manners we’ve ever driven. Passengers, even knowledgeable enthusiasts, can ride around in the car and never know what a bomb it is, unless the driver chooses to unleash the might of all those big Omigawd-ferocious horses. . . . It just doesn’t feel like a seven-liter engine—except for the fact that you’re suddenly doing 120 mph and you don’t know how you got there.”
