Wheel-standing Drag Pak Is Now Available to Order!

DragPak is a strip-ready Dodge Challenger prepared for a 7-second quarter-mile out the box.

Mopar’s eagerly awaited wheel-standing off-the-floor Dodge Challenger DragPak has finally seen the light of day following a series of delays triggered mainly by lockdown.

Developed specifically for National Hot Rod Association and National Muscle Car Association drag racing, only 50 of these 3-liter Whipple twin-screw supercharged 5.8-liter V8 racecars will be built.

Featuring an aluminum intercooler ice tank for optimal inlet temperatures, race-spec reciprocating parts and an accessory drive, Mopar has not yet dropped any power numbers. The previous version made 1500 horses, so rest assured that this class-approved Challenger is good for a seven-second quarter-mile.

DragPak is a 7-second dragster off the ‘showroom’ floor!

Challenger DragPak gets  a new four-link rear end with longer control arms. A wishbone link brings lateral control in place of the old Panhard rod. Add a 250-percent stiffer, thicker anti-roll bar for a harder launch and less wheelspin.

That and the Mopar K-member front suspension feature a 10-setting DragPak-tuned Bilstein coil-over damper on each corner. DragPak gets Strange Engineering Pro Series II racing brakes. Mickey Thompson shod 15×10-inch rims are at the rear and skinny 17×4.5-inch up front.

Inside, there’s a NHRA and NMCA spec fabricated full roll cage and all the obligatory safety gear. A unique carbon-fiber bezelled dash with rev counter, brake and oil pressure dials. Add a 7-inch touchscreen display Holley EFI digital instrument cluster with a in place of the regular infotainment screen.
