If you're into that too, the big tire class is where you'll find the meatiest rubber attached to the meanest machines. Like this beefed-up Dodge Dart called the Dominator. 1 photo It might no longer look like one, but this is a fourth-generation Dodge Dart. It was built from 1966 to 1976, and it was also called the Demon. Based on the front end, the Dominator is likely based on a 1968 or 1969 Dar...
