Where European cars feared to tread
Admittedly drag racing and NASCAR were an American invention. Europeans favored road racing and rallying. In truth, I am not so sure that many non-American cars could have successfully competed in these two arenas anyway. In its uniqueness, there have been many interesting and memorable cars produced for both venues through the years.

Here is one of the earliest concepts to play successfully in both drag racing and NASCAR. Circa 1956, Dodge stepped up and entered the ‘big time.’ If left unhindered by Chrysler Corporation, without any internal politics Dodge might have cleaned house everywhere.

If you have any contenders please come forwarded and be counted.

Well, for starters, I'd like a DOHC V-8 motor bolted to a 6-speed manual gearbox and fully-independent A-arms all around with massive Brembo discs.

Not too picky about anything else.
