allpar - chrysler dodge jeep car site chrysler cars dodge logo guide to dodge cars, minivans, and trucks dodge daytona the dodge daytona, like many others, was built off the dodge aries platform. it ranged from a mild-mannered, single-fuel-injector driven four-cylinder model to a raging turbo iii (225 hp) monster. iroc cars were built with 355 cid v8 engines. the most common street machines had the 3.0 liter mitsubishi v6, a milder turbo engine, or the base tbi engine. although a comfortable car with good handling, the daytona never really took off, partly because the performance versions were not well publicized. chrysler in general was also not held in high esteem for much of the daytona`s life. dodge viper what can you say about the dodge viper, the very first america car to win the 48 hours of lemans, beating all those much-more-expensive ferraris, lambourghinis, porsches...and even race-prepped corvettes? it`s a true racing car for the street. most people would probably prefer a corvette for real life...but the dodge viper v-10 is the ultimate in semi-affordable performance. dodge neon oh, what a car! when it first came out, it overpowered every competitor, while leading its class in handling. it dominated the scca tracks. but chrysler let performance take a back seat to sophistication in the second generation, leading to a less fun but more practical and pleasant (and reliable) car that is not appreciated by enough people. click here for the first generation | click here for the second generation | click here for an owner forum. dodge charger originally just a fastback coronet, it quickly gained styling of its own and a serious reputation as a performance machine, thanks to a few hundred hemi-equipped models (and a few more 440 models that were nearly as quick). the charger name was later used on an omni-derivative which was also quick for its day, and finally made its home on an lx sedan in 2006. 1965-78 models | omni chargers | 2006+ dodge charger other dodge sedans the sebring, while not much larger inside than the neon, is quieter and more polished, while the intrepid is a full-size car sold at a mid-size price. the intrepid r/t provides sub-8 second 0-60 times and above-average handling, and is solid enough to be the basis of a new intrepid police car. the dodge magnum wagon is a different layout from the charger and 300c, while the original dodge magnum was essentially a renamed charger. dodge ram trucks they went from obscurity to mind-share dominance in a single year. from almost no market share to over a fifth. if chrysler had been able to build twice as many in their first redesigned year, they would have sold twice as many. the new rams are out, including the power wagon. dodge durango suv detailed look at the medium-sized suv. dodge durango, 1998-2004. we also have information on the new, suburban-sized durango. 1980s-1990s front wheel drive dodge cars a large number of 1980s and 1990s dodges were built off variations of the k platform. a list, with guides to various sites, is here. there were also the l bodies, dodges based off a european platform, like the omni. 1970s dodge cars 1970s dodge cars can be divided into a number of categories: * a bodies (valiant-based: e.g. dart) * b and c bodies * e bodies (challenger) * f bodies (aspen) * m bodies (almost the same as the f bodies; diplomat) dodge minivans dodge minivans were originally based off the dodge aries, just as the pt cruiser is based off the neon. we don`t have a full history page on them yet but we are working on it. click here for the current minivans. older dodge cars, trucks, and vans we are working on getting a history for these. export dodges export dodges were sometimes called dodges...sometimes chryslers...sometimes valiants or desotos. click here for the full story. dodge cars dodge cars dodge cars allpar (chrysler-dodge enthusiasts) home - cars - engines - history - resources - repairs - reviews - other brands - news - search corrections o...
