With a name like Challenger, Dodge's new muscle car had better put down some serious quarter-mile times or else be able to propel itself into outer space. Fortunately, Chrysler's performance parts division Mopar is preparing to do one (if not the other) when it unveils its new Drag Race Package for the Challenger at the annual Mopar Mile-High Nationals at the Bandimere Speedway in Denver next week.

While specific details on the package – which we previewed in our exclusive video last week – remain scarce before the official debut, the Challenger Drag Race Package marks the 70th anniversary of Mopar and forty years since the company's last factory-built drag-race package. Based on the Challenger SRT8, the Drag Race Package features a composite "Body-in-White" direct from the factory and a host of lightweight components, to say nothing of all the parts being deleted for drag-strip use. The engine has been repositioned and the wheelbase actually shortened to optimize weight distribution and driveline angle. Designed in cooperation with the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) and previewed back in 2006 by the 392 HEMI Dodge Challenger Super Stock concept at SEMA (pictured above), Mopar will build 100 examples of the race-prepped Challenger with three different engine packages available.

not true - the R/T and SRT have optional 6-speed manual transmissions

Thats a nice looking car. I like how they kept the old style and made suttle changes to it

[phunhaus]

That's hot. I can't believe I like it as much as I do.

Although they arnt producing amazing muscle cars, Detroit is still or was still producing pretty neat little new age muscle cars. The SRT line up i though was quite cool. As in the 300, charger, and now challenger....i thought that was a very cool 'muscle car' thing to do. Take the 4 door cars and give em' some power. Just like the old days. As for the Challenger, i LOVE it! I see the SRT's all over the place. I also see all the test mule challengers on the road too! I guess you have to love living just outside the Motor City!
