Tom, I think that Allpar.com was just scratching the surface with that press release. The word is that this is the REAL deal, 1968 all over again! I've heard that least one successful west coast team is setting up to put one or more of these cars on the track in short order as soon as they are ready for delivery. Possibly, a Stocker and a Super Stocker. For all we know, there are already several of them in the final preparation stages around the country.

Reading between the lines and combining information from several sources leads me to believe that these cars will not be produced as assembly-line Challengers simply released by the factory to the general public, but will be set up for the best pieces that drag racing technology can provide. Leaf springs, aftermarket brakes, solid rear axle options, accessory delete packages, etc. will make them truly unique platforms, fully homologated for Stock/SS application.

Sounds like Chrysler Corporation remembers how to "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday!
