You might want to bring it back from the body shop before they paint it and weld up all those EXTRA holes in the suspension brackets... You are only allowed one hole in each bracket. Just thought you would like to know before all that beautiful paint gets done and you have to ruin it welding..

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

NewHemi · 04-18-2010, 07:37 PM

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.

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.
