Here are some more information for Chevy Mopar Ignition:
Plymouth needed a beautiful icon, and it came with a pair of tail fins, 303-hp V8, chrome grill, gold accents and a sleek, angular body: the Plymouth Fury.
Debuting in 1956, the Fury ploughed into showrooms per consumer requests for an affordable and cultured vehicle. First available as a white-and-gold limited edition hardtop coupe, costing $2,866, the inaugural Fury could reach 110 mph in stock condition; a modified version blasted to 149 mph at Daytona Beach. The Fury was off to a fast start.
Plymouth decided to retain its "limited edition" concept and by the 1960 redesign, the Fury was available in a profusion of engine choices, ranging from the original 318 to the 145-hp Slant Six to the 330-hp 383. Construction was changed to a unibody frame. Several more trims, including the limited edition Turbo and Sport Fury, arrived over the next years as the Fury grew to a hefty $3,000.
Plymouth relabeled the Fury after the third generation arrival in 1965: the Fury I, II and III. The Fury I was popular with budget-conscious customers and police departments, while the II and II offered more creature comforts and styling. Furies also grew to a C-body (full-size) and featured five engine options. The grill underwent a transformation, losing chrome accents but gaining vertically stacked headlamps. By 1968, twenty-seven different configurations were available.
In 1966, the Plymouth VIP ("Very Important Plymouth") debuted as an alternative to traditional Chrysler chic. Equipped with deep pile carpet, reading lamps, plastic walnut trim, a vinyl roof and other implements, the Fury VIP also offered a 318 V8 power plant. Despite its high level of sophistication, the VIP could not get a constituency, and faded from the Plymouth lineup in 1969.
The fourth generation, labeled as "completely new," debuted in 1969. It was long, streamlined and uncluttered; it featured wide reclining benches, a cornucopia of engine choices and was available in coupe, sedan, convertible and station wagon body styles. It was more understated than its ancestors.
1971, a moment of historic sadness arrived when the 426 Hemi departed from the Fury lineup. But one year later, the new Gran Fury revived past pugnacity with its powerful V8, voluptuous styling and luxurious features. Amenities included electronic ignition, inside hood release and improved radio reception. In lieu of increased emission regulations, the Gran Fury was slightly domesticated by exhaust gas recirculation, evaporation control system and a lower octane rating. This was a new Fury, one that would last - in name if not in prowess - until 1989.
1975 brought the advent of the fifth-generation Fury and the diminishing of the Fury heritage. The Fury was downsized to a B-body platform and essentially became a restyled Plymouth Belvedere, lauded for its ergonomics and fuel efficiency. The Fury name was applied to a bundle of middling automobiles, while the Gran Fury struggled to retain its ancestry of power and performance.
After a one-year hiatus in 1979, the Fury name was brought back as a rebadged Chrysler Newport, which failed dismally. In 1982, the Fury heritage was again rejuvenated with a rebadged Dodge Diplomat, a favorite with taxi drivers and policemen but not consumers.
The Fury has lost its ferocity, replaced by a meek, mild and minute vehicle. Forty years later, its original 149-mph barrier hasn't been much improved.

Dodge Challenger
So it's not as quick as the Ford Mustang; so it's not as sleek as the Chevrolet Camaro. Who cares – it's American muscle, so what's not to love? Here's an ovation to '70s retro, and to the Dodge Challenger.
The Dodge Challenger debuted in 1970 as the twin of the renowned Plymouth Barracuda. It was the epitome of the pony car aesthetic: long hood, short rear deck, blunt-nosed grill and aggressive hood scoops. Owners could choose from an astonishing cornucopia of options, colors, trims, fobs, and nine engines, the most famous of which was the 426-hp Hemi. In its first year, 84,032 Challengers were sold. The second year, due to loss of interest in muscle cars and increased emission regulations, only 29,883 Challengers were produced. In subsequent years, the one-hit wonder faded from memory, and the apathetic 1978-1982 Japanese Dodge Challenger merely nailed the coffin shut.
Resurrected in 2008, the Dodge Challenger blesses streets with its balanced fusion of strength, panache and deftness. As a bulky five-seater coupe, it offers three trims: an unappreciated SE; popular and powerful R/T; and an over-the-top, pure blazing speed SRT8.
SE
Powered by an apathetic 3.5-liter, 250-hp V6 leaking out 250 lb-feet of torque, coupled with a five-speed automatic gear box, the $23,000 SE is the wanna-be muscle car of the trio. The feature roster is sufficient but unimpressive. Besides regular amenities, the SE has an eight-way power driver seat, a 60/40-split folding rear seat and a four-speaker CD/MP3/audio jack sound system.
R/T
Labeled as the best buy of the three, the $31,000 R/T is powered by a whopping 5.7-liter, 376-hp V8, capable of 400 lb-feet of torque. A five-speed automatic transmission is standard, while a six-speed manual is optional. The R/T offers sport-tuned suspension and steering, exterior elements like automatic headlamps and foglights, and leather-wrapped interior bric-a-brac.
SRT8
Check out the $41,000 SRT8's 6.1-liter, 425-hp V8 thrusting out 420 lb-feet of torque. Transmission options are the same as the R/T. Interior features include leather upholstery, heated front seats, premium sound system with Bluetooth, keyless ignition, and a performance meter that measures criteria like acceleration and lateral G-forces. On the exterior: twin black stripes, dual hood scoops, sport-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes, automatic xenon headlights and heated side mirrors.
A wealth of options and packages add to the madness. A multimedia package, a navigation system, 13-speaker sound system, performance tires and equipment, Mopar accessories and more are all available.
Performance & Handling
While most enthusiasts bemoan the SE's somewhat droopy performance, all laud the R/T's impeccable racing style, and many revere the SRT8's tire-shredding speed. The Challenger is more powerful but less agile than the competing Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro. The SRT8 trim easily keeps pace with the Camaro SS and Shelby Mustang GT500.
Fuel Economy
Power must come at some cost, right? EPA mpg estimates are 17/25 for the SE, 16/25 for the R/T and 13/19 (automatic) for the SRT8. These estimates are slightly lower than competitors.
Safety
NHTSA granted the Challenger five stars for frontal and side crash protection and four stars for rollover protection.
Reliability
US News & World Reports in conjunction with J.D. Power and Associates gives the Challenger a 6/10 reliability ranking.
But who needs high mpg? This is American muscle, and it's time to shred and split.
