In October 2006 Dodge unveiled their Challenger Drag Pak concept at SEMA. The program allowed customers to buy a turn-key race car directly from a manufacturer that would seriously compete at the drag racing. For the first two production years (2009 and 2010) the engines were varying displacement HEMI V8s but Dodge has something special in store for 2011. <\/p>\n

In 2011 customers could order the Mopar Challenger Drag Pak with a 8.4 L (512 ci) V10 engine from a Viper. Behind the engine sits a two-speed automatic transmission, custom one-piece driveshaft and Dana 60 solid-axle rear end. The prototypes were originally fitted with six-speed manuals. You can read more about the decision to switch to an automatic transmission and overall development of this program from the lead engineer at Falzon Motorsports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These didn’t come cheap and were priced at $85,512. All those dollars didn’t get you many creature comforts. They removed the windshield wiper assembly, HVAC system, rear seats, plastic windows and power-steering. Even the factory fuel filler location was fake since the fuel tank was replaced with a fuel cell in the trunk. Of course that trade-off resulted in a turn-key 9-second car that went 150 mph.<\/p>\n
