23. 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
The Dodge Demon was manufactured to be a powerful wide-body version of the Challenger. We all first saw it at the New York Auto Show in April 2017. The Demon featured drag radial road tires, and a transbrake system used for drag racing that puts the transmission in 1st gear and 2nd gear simultaneously.

22. 1970 Oldsmobile Rallye 350
With the muscle car movement in full swing by 1970, almost every car maker and brand was looking to get into the action. Oldsmobile wanted in and went in all guns blazing with the Rallye 350.
Oldsmobile wanted a car to compete with already existing muscle competition, but also wanted to sell it on a point that their car had value. Dubbed by some a “Junior” muscle car, the Rallye was introduced in 1970 and it came in only one color – Sebring Yellow. A pretty small number were built – 3,547. Some dealers reported having trouble selling it thanks to its yellow bumpers and wheels– so much so that some of them removed the bumpers and replaced them with chrome and installed stainless steel trim rings on the wheels.
It came with a base L74 350 V-8 engine boasting 310 HP and 390 lbs./ft. of torque at 3200 RPM. It used a single four-barrel carburetor and a super strong block made with nickel, keeping it extremely durable. And the car can blaze a 15.27 quarter mile at 94 mph and go 0 to 60 in under 7 seconds flat.
While it may not be pretty, the ‘70 Rallye 350 packed a punch behind that yellow bumper.
