Dodge's recent Challenger Hellcat Demon changed all that with 808 horsepower in bonafide strip scorcher, which you could buy off the showroom floor. GSS Supercars announces that they're celebrating the Demon's 50th anniversary in sty...

Did you know that the Dodge Charger 500 preceded the Aero Wars of 1969 and 1970, which brought America the high-wing Dodge Daytona and Plymouth Superbird?
