All 2011 Drag Paks come from the factory with a Strange Nine Inch rear axle assembly Mopar P/N P5155850. No Drag Paks came from the factory with an 8 3/4. 2009 Drag Paks had an independent rear suspension cradle with no diff and 2010s had a trailer axle for transportation purposes only. Several racers equipped their 2009 and 2010 Drag Paks with 8 3/4 or Strange/Dana 60 rear axle assemblies but the factory never installed any rear diff in a Drag Pak Challenger until 2011.

Well now, A strange 9 inch has a Mopar part number. That makes it a corprate assembly. Mopar's and Amc stocker's can now run a 9 inch. Your pretty smart Ed.

I'm pretty sure Ed didn't say "thank you" because it was a question he was loosing sleep over. Now if only M/W or Strange put a Ford part number on their aluminum centers everyone would be happy.

Thanx to all that replied-----My info/curiosity has been updated--one last question---looking at the basic vehicle is there any difference between a 2009 (is that the first year of production?) and say a 2011 other than the engine combination??? like can you make a 2009 into a 2011 by changing say a grille or a taillight ??? or all the cars the same??? just a different serial number---Comp

2011 Drag Pak Challenger has a different chin spoiler and lower grille in front and also uses an aluminum hood with hinges and gas struts which is much the same as the production car. The 2009 and 2010 Drag Paks came with a lightweight hood and scoop and a Dzus fastener mounting system. These changes are the primary differences between the model years on Drag Pak Challengers. We do post construction, assembly and preparation photos of Drag Pak cars on our website.
