Here is a shot of the NHRA Weight/HP sticker from Jeg's car.
Looks like the Mopar "Low Carb" diet resulted in a 1000 lb weight loss. First we had Michelob Ultra, now we have Mopar Ultra. Lite that is... |

I would think that Mother Mopar is in no hurry to have the new production cars in the NHRA classification guide.....Looks to me like a smart way to market the DP's and sell the production look a likes to the on the street crowd. They are also making sure the DP's get in the hands of capable racers. One dealer told me all the hoops he had to jump through to get # 6 2011... or was it 2010.. Can't remember... From what I've been told (if it's correct info) there are only a hand full of qualified dealers you can get DP parts from.
These guys are doing some smart marketing and the racers are buying into it as well as the public. Cool looking cars!

Yep they can.....get to that weight, with about 8 hrs work I can get back down to that. Almost to the lb actually weve got it to 2990 wet, minus driver.

Drooze,
If the SRT8 is rated anywhere near the factory number, it will not be competitive. It would probably fit B-C (just guessing) If you divide Shipping weight/ Hp Rating that gives you the class it would fall in. So if you take the factory shipping weight divided by the factory rated HP, that would tell you which class it would fall in. Unless, Dodge would "fudge" the numbers a lot!
