You can adjust weight to a car to 1) move to the top of it's natural class 2) add weight to drop one class from it's natural class 3) remove weight to move up one class from the natural class. To get to the top of AA/SA with a Challenger, 7.5 x 390 + 170 (driver weight) = 3,095 minimum weight, with driver, across the scales as a AA/SA.

Forgetting about the weight of ANY driver,could you even get a DP Challenger down to 3095?
