Scotty2Hotty Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 http://jalopnik.com/398484/mopar-dodge-challenger-drag-pack-finally-revealed This actually shocks me coming from Diamler Chrysler, I'm still curious on times, hopefully someone will prove fact from fiction. I believe Ford will do something similar with the mustang before too long aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 1000lbs lighter is an unbelievable drop in weight, so its tipping the scales around 3200.....not to bad, still heavy for a gutted racecar though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 It is a nice option for those wanting to start drag racing, without having to tune, wrench, and dial in a car. Most of the hard work is already done for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 There is no such thing as going fast without working on a car. For $30k+ spent on a car I can't even drive on the street, it better run single digits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 There is no such thing as going fast without working on a car. The initial set up is done *fixed* I'd call mid 11's for the car, any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 If they only run mid 11's I call snore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'd assume mid 11's from the 5.7 Hemi. The 6.1 Hemi and a 5.9 Wedge Hemi are also going to be availible, but who knows. I'd assume Hot Rod to be one of the first to crack it dow the strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hot Rod was already there in their last issue as the first passes were made in the car. It ran 10.4 with the 392 in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Not street legal. Gay. I bet if it has a vin number we could find a way around it plus you'll be able to build your own for half the price when they put all the parts in the mopar catalog a year or so later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I bet if it has a vin number we could find a way around it plus you'll be able to build your own for half the price when they put all the parts in the mopar catalog a year or so later Half the price? The drag pack cars cost in the neighborhood of $30k. That's cheaper than a stock SRT8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 There is no such thing as going fast without working on a car. For $30k+ spent on a car I can't even drive on the street, it better run single digits. If you read the story these cars sound like they are being built for Stock and Super Stock racing. You don't see a majorty of the cars going in the single digits in stock. They won't be street legal because it sounds like they are taking out most of the required safety features required these days. If I read that right are these cars being delivered as finished body in white cars? If so that is a steal considering how much a FJ smith car would cost delivered finshed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksrt4 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 ya know they did this in the 70's as well, only race teams were able to get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I like the idea, but street legal is a must. At least 49 state street legal, fuck cali laws. They need to make the sti version, no radio, lighter wheels, lighter everything, lose all gadgets and options to race mode; big motor/ fat tires/ no mess styling/ and loud.
