Dodge Dart Performance Overview
Dodge’s Dart performance record spans 13 verified tests across 1962 to 2015, tracing a path from compact V8 drag-oriented specials to modern front-drive sedans. The earliest data comes from the 2nd Gen (1962–1966), where the 1962 Ramcharger 413 Hardtop Coupe (on slicks) set the model’s quickest verified launch at 5.8 seconds to 60 mph and a 13.4-second quarter-mile at 109.7 mph. That car’s 420-hp naturally aspirated 413 marked the Dart’s most extreme factory-based performance point in the available tests.
By the 3rd Gen (1967–1976), the formula shifted toward broader small-block V8 performance. Tested examples with 340 and 360 V8 power ran in the mid-6-second range, led by the 1968 GTS 340 Hardtop Coupe at 6.3 seconds to 60 mph, while a later V8 Dart recorded 7.3 seconds. After a long gap in the test record, the PF-generation Dart (2013–2016) returned with gasoline four-cylinders, including naturally aspirated and turbocharged options from 160 to 184 hp.
In that final era, the quickest run came from the 2013 Rallye MultiAir 1.4T at 7.9 seconds to 60 mph, with the 2013 GT at 8.4 seconds and the 2013 Limited trailing at 9.9 seconds. Today, the Dart’s data set reads as a gasoline-only line with distinctly separate muscle-era and modern compact-sedan performance phases.

How we verify Dodge Dart performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Dodge Dart trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
