Mopar unveiling Dodge Challenger drag race pack on July 13

[El Calor]

With a name like Challenger, Dodge's new muscle car had better put down some serious quarter-mile times or else be able to propel itself into outer space. Fortunately, Chrysler's performance parts division Mopar is preparing to do one (if not the other) when it unveils its new Drag Race Package for the Challenger at the annual Mopar Mile-High Nationals at the Bandimere Speedway in Denver next week.

I wonder what pricing will be.....and are they easier to order than an SRT?

My understanding is that only teams currently campaigning in NHRA will be able to order these units.

Not exactly street legal

As if the Dodge Challenger SRT8 wasn't enough of a trouble maker for lead-footed drivers, Chrysler LLC will next weekend unveil a drag race package for the Challenger.

The reveal will come Saturday at the Mopar Mile-High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison, Colo.

No specs were released, but the speed machine will come "track ready" including weight reducing modifications and a choice of three engines.

Chrysler says it's the first factory-built drag racer in 40 years.
