Quoted from Mopar Super Center

Official Information released:

* Bandimere Speedway will host the debut of the Dodge Challenger Drag Race Package Car at the 29th Annual Mopar® Mile-High Nationals on Sunday, July 13
* The Drag Race Package Car by Mopar, race-prepped and based on the Challenger SRT8®, is designed to thrill a new generation of drag-racing enthusiasts
* This is the first drag-race-only, factory-built package car built in 40 years


Based on the Challenger SRT8®, Mopar’s modern, factory-prepped Challenger Drag Race Package Car will begin with a special Body-in-White (BIW) from Chrysler’s Brampton, Ontario, Canada assembly plant. It has been updated for modern racing conditions. Special weight-reduction modifications were made by eliminating unnecessary components and systems. To accentuate the weight savings, it will also feature added composite, polycarbonate and lightweight components designed for drag racing. The engine was repositioned and the wheelbase was shortened to improve the driveline angle/clearance and weight distribution.

“Mopar worked with the NHRA—the world’s largest and loudest auto racing organization—to approve our race-prepped Challenger for drag race competition,” said Sunil Lahoti, Senior Manager - Mopar Marketing and Brand Strategy, Chrysler LLC. “Engineered to race, our Package Car has what an NHRA drag racer needs to thunder down the strip in competition. It’s made for straight-line, drag-strip acceleration—and is prepped to score victories off the Tree.”

Drag racers will have a choice of three engines to power the Challenger Drag Race Package Car for race competition. Mopar will build a minimum of 100 Package Cars to meet NHRA requirements. Each will carry an identification plate with sequential serial number.

Mopar built the first two Challenger Drag Race Package Cars for development and testing. Each Package Car ran successfully in June as proof-of-concept and for NHRA certification.

At the Mile-High reveal, Mopar will announce details including vehicle modifications, engine options, NHRA/IHRA categories and class eligibility, pricing, availability and distribution. A build book/owner’s manual will be available as well as a collector’s “coffee table” book.

Great news, blade!

Even more so because it's the first drag-race-only, factory-built package car built in 40 years.

And here a little pic to "wet the appetite":

yes and now ive heard after barret jackson ford has started their competitino vehilce, a shelby gt500 super snake drag pack, lets hope the factory drag wars start up again

Here is the real Challenger drag pack:

actually both those cars are, the car is delivered in completely white primer though, i have seen pics of a few black primer ones

they might be coming out with a dodge challenger factory tuner pack or the eiback dodge challenger

theres one thing thats weird about the challenger

actually there are 4 or 5 planned special edition challengers this not being one of them pick up the October 2008 issue of Mopar Action for infor of them all

but they are
Challenger G5/S
Challenger GS/SC
Challenger G5/Posey
Challenger G5/R
and the very limited Challenger G5 Speedster

I must admit, I really like the Challenger.

the weirdest thing about this car is that it took 38 years to bring it back

you have to remember the state that Chrysler has been in for a long while

I think Fiat is gonna remodel all chryslers before they come out

If I'm right, I think Chrysler is doomed, Jeep and Dodge are the money makers that Fiat are after, I'm not sure if the Dodge fans are willing to accept the new Mopar, using Ferrari technology

i know im not accepting that mopar is muscle not sports

Tell that to Fiat, there doing what they think is best also trying to get a bigger hold in the European market
