The smallest Dodge was the compact Dart which eventually got the muscle treatment with the GTS model. This included a 340 V8 with 325 HP, performance equipment, and a graphics package. The little Dart GTS was pretty fast and even faster than some bigger muscle cars (via Motor Trend).

Dodge said the 340 is the largest engine that will fit Dart’s engine bay. However, Mr. Norm, a famous Chicago-area performance dealership, managed to shoehorn a big 440 in this tiny engine bay, making it the Dart 440. The car had a 375 rating and was amazingly fast as records show.
