Same Badge, New Era: 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T vs. 1994 Viper RT/10

Nearly 30 years separate these two Dodges, but they’re tied together by the same performance badge: R/T. The 1967 Coronet R/T (Road/Track) was the first Dodge to wear it, giving the brand a much clearer performance identity that included a standard 440 Magnum, heavy-duty hardware, and straight-line muscle.

In the 1990s, Dodge brought the R/T name back on a very different kind of vehicle: a hardcore sports car known as the Viper RT/10, which came with a big V-10, six-speed manual, and absolutely no subtlety. One Dodge introduced the R/T idea, the other brought it back for a new generation. Which one better represents the R/T vision? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
