The Challenger Demon 170.

Runs on E85.

1025 horsepower.

8.91s @ 151mph in the quarter on a prepped track.

Hopefully we see some of these at a drag 'n' drive event in the near future.

Okay maybe not the 1960's but mid 00's Challenger instead.

And yet the '08 Challenger feels like a wholly different beast compared to the current model. Even leaving the higher-powered variants out of it. The interior changed beyond recognition, the automatic transmission gained three gears, the suspension got some foibles tweaked out of it, tyre design caught up to it/got a bit closer to it...
