1960'S - 5. 1968 DODGE CHARGER 426 HEMI — 4.8 SECONDS

November 1967What We Said: “Dodge stylists have shown that they can create a car in the current idiom with originality, combining just the right amount of tasteful conformity with that novelty and freshness which attracts attention. . . . Rated conservatively at 425 hp and 490 lb-ft of torque, the Hemi propelled the Charger through the quarter-mile traps at just over 105 mph, covering the distance in 13.5 seconds—not bad for 4346 pounds [of] test weight.”
