No surprise. If you want to be listed, you have to pay them. Dodge produces the car all others are measured against - they pay no one.
Chrysler built factory "Altered wheelbase cars" and won so much that they became their own classes of Super Stock.
The 'special' Hemi cars Dodge built in the late 60s are only allowed to race against themselves. There's no competition that comes close.
The Hemi won so many Nascar races that the sanctioning body decided that a 'stock' Hemi could only race if the duql quads were replaced with a MAX 340 cfm rated single carb and the car was required to weigh an extra 500#.
The 'winged warriors' (Charger 500 and Superbirds) finished every NASCAR race in front of ALL other cars so they were banned from racing (Too fast).
Then came the VIPER. If a Viper was in a Lemans, it won or came in behind another Viper. So the governing body required 50% intake sized restrictor plates to make sure that Vipers couldn't win.
Dodge has been persecuted since the early sixties because their factory race cars embarrassed GM and ALL the other 'supposed' factory race car builders so badly.
Since Dodge has had more factory built race cars banned and restricted because they're TOO FAST for everybody else to compete with, obviously in the races Dodge built cars for - they were the fastest and the best.
Ford was lucky that Dodge didn't build any cars to compete in Lemans while Shelby was kicking ass. Ford did do some spectacular cars as well, Shelbys, AC Cobras, Sunbeam Tigers (although Chrysler bought the company and produced them the last year of production), Mustang Shelbys, Thunderbolts, Ford GT & GT40, 55-58 T birds, Talledagas. Chev? GM built passenger cars and vettes, They built the worlds worst V8, V6, 4 ******, Rear axles, transmissions, etc.
90 vette ZR1? wasn't that one of those 400hp cars???
As far as fast, No company can hold a candle to the Dodge competition cars.
