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.
or this... |

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.

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
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.

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.
