Re: New Drag Paks

I heard they were going with a Pratt & Whitney Jet engine. I wonder if they will let me upgrade my 2010?:D

Re: New Drag Paks

Look for the package next year in the Mopar Performance catalog...Stage 1 - Stage 2 - Stage 3 versions...ask your local dealership or zone rep to contact Chrysler to see if these packages will bee available in your area...they still have to build 50 units to be excepted...even though only a few have been built privately. :)

Re: New Drag Paks

I heard a rumor that I started that the new DP was going to be the new Dart with the V10 and a supercharger. The front seats are deleted and the steering column extended to make room for the engine.

Re: New Drag Paks

Yeah that's funny, but some of you aren't taking this serious, I guess everyone here is happy with the brand x companies and their power adders beating up on the naturally aspirated race cars...oh well, you all can continue to whine about it in the other threads posted on here, instead of trying to do something about it, or maybe try going with the flow, ie: joining them.

Re: New Drag Paks

Others companies have built super-charged and turbo-charged Challenger & Viper vehicles in the past...so why can't Chrysler offer something along these lines. ;)

Re: New Drag Paks

2011 Drag Pak already has 800 HP and 1,000 less lbs than that thing

Re: New Drag Paks

That's because that one is a regular V-8 Hemi Challenger SRT model that's been converted, your comparing it to the 2011 V-10 Drag Pak Challenger...Now imagine if they dropped something like "this" into a new Drag Pak Challenger.

Re: New Drag Paks

Yeah some of those imports are fast & light, ie: big turbo's & tube chassis but they're still pretty impressive though...Maybe Chrysler will build a new Drag Pak Challenger with a turbo set-up and maybe some aluminum or carbon fiber Challenger body panels to lighten the car up even more.

Re: New Drag Paks

Lets reflect on the last Drag Pak Challenger Chrysler offered...here's an old press release.

Mopar® Introduces 2011 Challenger Drag Pak for Sportsman Racers
This One Has a V-10 and is Race-ready

Mopar® Challenger V-10 Drag Pak built for sanctioned NHRA Stock and Super Stock configurations
Priced at $85,512, Mopar to build 70 serialized units
Production starts 1Q 2011, applications available now at local Dodge dealerships or at www.mopar.com
Past Mopar Challenger Drag Pak model-year programs sold out (2009 and 2010)

October 1, 2010 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Racers rejoice. Mopar® is dropping a V-10 into the iconic Dodge Challenger.
The new race-only V-10 powered rear-wheel drive 2011 Mopar Challenger Drag Pak features an 8.4-liter 512 cubic-inch engine with a 2-speed automatic transmission. Mopar will showcase its new drag car this evening at the Dodge Viper Owner's Invitational in Salt Lake City. The vehicle will then make its way to the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas from Nov. 2-5, and the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) show in Orlando from Dec. 9-11.

"With the introduction of our new 2011 Mopar Challenger Drag Pak, Mopar will be the only place to get a factory-built V-10-powered race-ready drag car," said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, Chrysler Group's service, parts and customer-care brand. "Mopar's new Challenger Drag Pak is a race rocket that will appeal to racers, collectors, dealers, and Dodge Viper owners."

Based on the 2011 Dodge Challenger and finished in a Stock Eliminator and Super Stock configuration, the 2011 Mopar Challenger V-10 Drag Pak is the first and only 500-plus cubic-inch V-10 drag-race package car. The car features competition wheels and tires, a Mopar solid rear axle with performance gear ratio, a 2-speed drag race transmission with integrated roll control, a complete competition fuel system with fuel cell, and a complete interior with gauge package.

The Mopar Challenger V-10 Drag Pak features a Bright White paint scheme with color options. The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $85,512 and production begins early next year.

Mopar offers three options with this vehicle. First, the Competition Package includes an eight-point roll cage, six-point safety harness and a mesh window net (MSRP: $7,950, part number P5155820). Second, a Mopar logo body wrap (MSRP: $950, part number P5155892) and a range of body colors (MSRP: $6,800, part number P5155893). With the Competition Package, the car is ready to go down the drag strip.

Orders must be submitted using the Mopar Challenger V-10 Drag Pak Application, which is available now at www.Mopar.com, the Mopar Direct Connection Tech Line at 888-528-HEMI (4364), or a local Dodge dealer. Customers should work with their local Dodge dealer to submit their application.

I heard they were putting these in the 2014 CJs with twin 88mm turbos, should be good for 6s on a 9" tire.

Re: New Drag Paks

lol, sure they are...but I hope they do that way NHRA will have no other choice but to re-class all of these factory stockers & super stockers just like they did back in the mid 60's with the factory experimental classes, etc...I also heard that the new Copo race cars are drinking hydrazine and using gold dust. ;)
