I voted for the Charger Daytona....as its the most well known of the group....both on the track and on the street...

The others are nice, but they arent the "King"

Sorry, but the true "King" of Mopar is the 67 Plymouth GTX Hemi. The ACR version was a stripped down ringer. I think Chrysler ought to do the same thing with the new Challenger: no carpet or insulation; no rear seat; no radio; no a/c; and no sound insulation. That car weighed over 800 lbs less than a stock GTX. I agree that the Daytona was the racing king, but for pure street/track performer, no Chrysler product can come close. I'll have to find the Road and Track article again.

The Charger is the most recognized. All the others were out shined by their Plymouth twins; Superbird, Roadrunner, Cuda.
