#Dodge Charger 440

[wheelsgoroundincircles]

Back in 1973 Motor Trend ran a 6-car road test of performance cars at Ontario Motor Speedway. The goal was to find the highest top speed for an American 4-passenger car. The cars were as follows: Dodge Charger 440, Chevy Laguna 454, Ford Mustang 351, Buick GS Stage 1, AMC Javelin AMX 401, and the Trans Am SD-455. The AMX was the only car with a 4-speed.

Gear ratios ranged from 3.08 to 3.54 (the Trans Am was equipped with 3.42 gears). The winner was the Trans Am, clocking in at 124 mph, followed by the Dodge Charger at 121 mph, the Mustang and Laguna at 118 mph, and the Buick GS and AMC AMX at 115 mph. The Trans Am SD-455 was rated at 310 hp, but this was the pre-production version and all production models would be rated at 290 hp. Sports cars were not included.

The results chart is proof that stories of then-new cars going 140+ mph off the showroom were sometimes exaggerated. Wind resistance is one of the major factors in obtaining top speed, and 1973-era were not exactly aerodynamic marvels. - MCN

Chrysler 300H 

The 1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst is a limited-edition unicorn that offers performance, luxury, size, and exclusivity. With a length of over 18 feet, it earns a place in history as one of the longest luxury performance coupes of all time. Chrysler 300 Hurst’s origin is shrouded in mystery. The car was assembled at Chrysler’s Jefferson Avenue plant in Detroit, Mich. It was shipped 600 miles east to Warminster, Penn. for completion.Hurst bolted on a distinctive satin tan fiberglass-skinned hood with 300H emblems and a fiberglass trunk lid with an integrated spoiler. There’s no mistaking a 300H on the street because the car was only available in Spinnaker White, with orange and brown tape stripes embellishing the flanks. Oddly, the cars were not equipped with Hurst shifters.Safe to say, there’s nothing like the 300 Hurst’s magnificent interior in the muscle car world. The designers swiped the gorgeous overstuffed tan leather seating from the Imperial. It’s as if someone stuffed a living room sofa into a Charger.

Every 300 Hurst edition left the factory with Mopar’s well-proven 440 cubic-inch V-8 and a heavy-duty TorqueFlite 727 three-speed automatic transmission. The air-cleaner housing proudly carried a TNT designation.

With a four-barrel carburetor, the TNT 440 engine had a 375-horsepower rating with 480 pound-feet of torque. The 300H’s V-8 wedge is identical to Plymouth’s Super Commando 440 and Dodge’s 440 Magnum. Slap on a decal and boom: It’s a TNT.

With the standard 3.23 gears out back, the 300 Hurst delivered 0-60 MPH times in 7.1 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 15.3 seconds. Its speed with more aggressive gearing and stickier tires is anyone’s guess.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗢𝗳 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗜𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 ? Few can forget the over-the-top climactic scene in The Fate of the Furious when Dominic Toretto uses a highly-modified 1968 Dodge Charger R/T to take on a submarine. In the story, the Mopar was sacrificed to destroy the submarine and secure victory for the good guys. However, in real life the Ice Charger lives on.Many people initially get that hero car mixed up with the 1970 Dodge Charger built by SpeedKore, which was also used in The Fate of the Furious. However, once you see the two cars side by side there’s no confusing them. Besides being 2 model years apart, the SpeedKore build is polished and show-ready. Under the shiny paint is plenty of carbon fiber, something the Wisconsin shop is famous for using. The 440 Six Pack has been slightly tweaked, and by slightly we mean built to the point it’s pushing 1,650-horsepower.The SpeedKore car, which is named “Tantrum,” was listed for sale in 2019 through a California dealership. Before then, the build made the rounds, even appearing on Jay Leno’s Garage, so its fame extended well beyond the Fast and Furious franchise. We say was, because the listing is gone, but the dealer isn’t exactly advertising who bought the Mopar.

1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Six Pack

The 440 Six Pack is one of three V8 engines that were available on the Charger R/T back in the day. A beefed version of the base 440 with three two-barrel carburetors, it was added to the options list in 1970 and generated 390 horsepower. It was the most powerful engine after the mighty and rare 426 Hemi.
