You can't do that on a current production challenger...you will cave in the fender.
or leave waves in the tops of the fenders - noticed more than a few like that. Always recommend to put padding / towels

Thankfully a dressed out Gen III Hemi cylinder head is ~ 40# - I was able to lift mine out (even with an inflamed nerve on right side of neck) with the SRT shorty manifold attached.
-hardest part was the head gasket didn't want to let go. Half stuck to block and half to head - so the three layers pulled apart while pulling the head up
 
GM's new Hummer is 7,000lbs and goes 0-60 in 2. something seconds. Imagin someone loses control of that. Hard to control law of physics sometimes, even with lots of electronic nannies.
curb weight is 9,063# the battery alone is 2,800# of that
