The latest offering from Mopar, Dodge’s in-house performance arm, is a non-street legal package for those interested in drag racing. This special Challenger uses an 8.4-liter 512 cubic-inch V10 engine mated to a drag special two-speed transmission, plus competition wheels and tires, a Mopar solid rear axle with performance gear ratio, a complete competition fuel system with fuel cell, and a complete interior with gauge package.

They also offer the Dodge Challenger V10 Mopar Drag Pak with a special Bright White color featuring custom Mopar graphics all over. The car will debut at this year’s SEMA show and will become available to order in early next year with a price tag of $85,512.

“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.”
