4 bar suspention is stock. Same with the Ram pickup trucks.

Nice piece! But........................ let's count the number of "attachment points" on cage/bar............. hmmmmmmmmmm More than 6???

Car will look just great,, and I expect it will run as good as it looks...

Yes, the 4 link is legal for Dodge challenger Drag Pak cars.

Looks good Mac, keep the reports coming..

The Challenger has an independent rear suspension from the factory and just like all the previous independent rear suspension NHRA has allowed an approved design so that a solid rear axle can be used. Here are several pics of the factory stuff(hope these loaded correctly.

Hey guys dont get to excited.

The extra attachment points are for testing purposes only just like race pak data loggers in stock and super stock . The attachment points are straight from the Drag Pak Manual. Most of the Drag Pak cars look very similar under the rear.
The new Camaros also have independent rear suspension and will have to be fabricated as well.

I guess I didn't clarify the "attachment points" I was looking at. But, from what info I info I ever got regarding ROLL BAR/CAGE installations, for stock eliminator it was "limited" to SIX attachment to chassis, REGARDLESS of whether car has frame or uni-body. I was not referring to the multiple four bar locations; that's another story.

My apologies for the confusion.

I still like these cars cuz ya don't hafta deal w/old, rusty stuff!!!!

Regarding the attachment point issue, I think your looking at an old, outdated rulebook. There are full cages in Stock Eliminator cars. Don't forget, there are sub 9 second A cars!

Correct Peter, the 2010 comes only with a 6.1 and either stick or auto. Do you hear that sigh of releif?? That probably came from Gary Stanton, as building all three engines was a real pain...Even though there werent that many 5.7 and 5.9 ordered, they still had to built somewhat differently, parts tracked searately, etc.

Also to answer the question asked about wheels, 9 inch tires fit without modification if you have the right rear end setup.
