“We’re proud of our drag racing heritage at Mopar, and we will continue to support our drag-race customers where they compete,” says Pietro Gorlier, who’s President and Chief Executive Officer – Mopar Service, Parts and Customer Care. “The Dodge Challenger Drag Pak program was a success last year, and we’ll be carrying that momentum into our 2010 build.”   For 2010, it’s available with the 6.1 liter HEMI that may be set up with a 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission.

Based on the ‘10 Dodge Challenger SRT8 and finished in a Stock Eliminator configuration, Mopar engineers eliminated or replaced select production components and systems to cut vehicle weight by approximately 1,000 pounds. That includes: A composite lift-off hood with functional scoop, Dodge Viper-style front seats, polycarbonate door windows, a light-weight cooling module with electric fan, manual rack-and-pinion steering, a special cable-operated deck-lid release, special light-weight front-brake assemblies and special cable-operated throttle linkage and pedal assembly. It comes in any color you like, as long as it’s Stone White, and is sanctioned for NHRA Stock, Super Stock and Comp Eliminator drag racing. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price is $39,999, and production begins this summer. Orders must be submitted using the Dodge Challenger Drag Pak Application, available now at www.mopar.com, or by calling the Mopar Direct Connection Tech Line at (888) 528-HEMI (888-528-4363). (Still want one? Work with your local Dodge dealer to submit your application.)Last year’s Dodge Challenger Drag Pak program commemorated the 40th anniversary of the legendary ‘68 Dodge Hemi Dart and Plymouth Hemi Barracuda package cars, which were sold as actual running cars with VIN identification. The 2009 and 2010 Package Cars are not sold as running cars, and do not come with VIN identification.
