The 360 is in H/S or H/SA. Thats about 3350 lbs, but with my large body, it may wind up in I/SA.

Those are good looking cars. Looking forward to seeing it run.

Hope all you Southland guys have a nice Holiday season. Really good group of racers.

Should be some of those turned into SS cars, I would expect. After hearing some of the engine specs, they should make some killer SS cars.

Irv,
I have to ask, what did you go across the scales at when you went fast at Memphis? I have heard numbers thrown around that were 200 lbs either way. How light has anyone been able to get one of these cars? Ours is 90% done with fab and off to paint on he 18th. We should have it home in the great Northwest by Jan 1 and hope to be testing in Feb.

Running AA for sure ?

Were not sure yet itll depend on how the car wrings out I guess.

Looking good on schedule, about a week behind where Id like to be, the time isnt the issue , its a couple of parts....that I HAVE to have in (for my sanity) before wringing the car out all the way, I dont have to have them but they will be run at Pomona and I need a good 2 weeks to dial the car in, lots of unknowns for us....Hopefully we wont do what we did to this motor of ours in testing.........:) I dont know that 4 days from the end of testing is enough to do another motor, if I cant get in the parts I want now....

This was a NEW Crate 5.7 from last year had less than 5 miles.....we knew it would go we just needed to know how fast....the pistons are down to the first ringlands on 5 cylinders, the chunks are the valve seats, it swallowed em all at the same time, but it answered the question about stock valve seats and their install.....bottom end is still good (less pistons of course) and itll actually be our 5.7 combo block.

Need a few boat anchors, I got 2 heads like that :)

Chris "drooze" Wertman 01-05-2010 10:36 AM

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 
Nope....noone has provided any new info..

I do know #52 is up on Ebay....it looks like hes in the same boat a couple of people who ordered them are, he cant finish the car, the Car is less than 1/2 the cost of a complete track ready animal, and well....I feel for him, I cant imagine not being able to do this car after waiting 14 months for it.

The only update I have is it looks like there will be 100 2009's and a real good chance at least 50 2010's

I do have several names on a "private list" that the owners have asked not to be identified yet....

Do you know of any ?

The Parts Manager at the dealership we buy our Mopar parts from ,now that we no longer are a Jeep dealer, told me yesterday he sold one last month and at the manufacturers suggested list ,not an inflated price. .....Could be why the E-bay speculators are'nt selling! .....Delivery is supposed to be in April. ........I'm trying to find out more info. .........Tom

This article doesn't give a number, but offers a clue:

"Roy Johnson’s Drag Pak will be powered by a 5.7L HEMI engine supplied by noted Mopar engine builder Gary Stanton and is the lowest serial-numbered vehicle of the few Drag Paks to carry the 5.7L HEMI."

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 
I thought it was in the low 20's. It was next to mine. I thought 22 or 24, but that might be wrong. I thought it had a 6.1. Maybe it did. Mine had a 6.1 and it now has a 5.9.

Chris "drooze" Wertman 01-05-2010 08:44 PM

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 
Hmmm...were 24....and I know who has 27,28....cant post it though Lofgrens got 22. So only 23 is unnacounted for....I "Hear" the other one in the 20's is for sale....so 23 Maybe ? The other 5.7's are later in the run.

Hmmm....dying to know...if hes 23 I dont feel bad he beat us in a build, if hes 35 Im annoyed but they have more than 1 person working on it so.......unlike here....where its pretty much me and the old man (that only counts as 1 around here as we never manage to work at the same time , rather take turns standing over each other and critiquing work :) Works for us.....

http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=FL0110-88895


Don't have my list to see if I have who's it is.........

jmcarter 01-06-2010 09:59 AM

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 
A 6.1 listed as "no reserve"...this could be interesting. Might have to run down to the Orlando area to see how it goes.

Chris "drooze" Wertman 01-06-2010 10:07 AM

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 
There is one on Ebay right now as well....#52

At "no reserve" as well

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

There are a couple others floating at mid 50's

Unfortunatley, the people are in the boat it takes more to finish these than expected. unfortunate for them, I cant imagine waiting 14 months to get one, then realize you cant finish it........what a bummer....

I told the old man from minute 1 itll cost 100k to buy and do the car right....he said nah....maybe 75......well.....weve been frugal and itll be somewhere between.

Im suprised a "tuner" or someone who builds high end restomod type stuff hasnt bought one an put it in street trim for shows etc.....like the 1320

Oh and If anyone in that arena is interested I found someone who makes Billet, Water 6.1 blocks......nifty stuff....:) And less than the Mopar alloy 426 block.

Might have a 2010 with the 392 Hemi. Who knows. The Fiat Option will be 2011, and will be a 528 Gen II. It will either have a Barton or Wescott motor, jury is still out on that option. Will run D/SA @ 298 hp. Has two 1000 cfm throttle bodies.

Jeff, you a funny man.....

Just a thought!
Wouldn't it be neat if Ken Montgomery had a new Challenger Drag Pack to go with his original owner A990 65 car and his original owner 68 Hemi Barracuda.

I think 13 is sold. That number had a specific purpose to the purchaser. Details later.

Chris "drooze" Wertman 01-13-2010 04:01 PM

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 
Jeff, can you and other DP owners review the list (first post) and send me or post here any Updates, or Corrections you are aware of of publically disclosed owners ?

I have a list of people who want to remain unknown....but Im starting to think the PUBLIC list should be more full....after talking to a couple people today....my brain isnt working , the hospital here is rotting something already rotten...

Thanks

Chris

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 
#13 started at $85,000 a few months back. Its now down to $55,000 and still no bidder's. I think #52 just set the price index.

Has the Doud Duel A/SA car be accounted for. I know form the reports from last year that it ran Div 3 Points meet at Indy as well as some other Div 3 meets. Believe that the Duel familty had a dealership in evansville,Ind, but that their dealership was one that was not kept open with the "New Dodge" alliances.
