sarcasm...just one of the many services we offer...

Does anyone know what combination that car has??

maybe it will make a debut at the Dutch.

My guess is it had the same engine that was run in Denver; the new 392 HEMI. That is not an engine offered in the new Drag-Pack Challenger. It will be limited to 5.9L Magnum, 5.7L & 6.1L Hemi any with auto trans or 6-speed trans.

Er, I don't think that's a "STOCKER," either....

Maybe a Super Stocker...

That was the Stocker.

If that car is a Stocker, it needs to be in the Classification Guide.

It's not.

Where are the horsepower numbers going to come from that will determine the NHRA factors that determine class? For example, the 360 Magnum motor was never offered in a passenger car, and a new one hasn't been built for years. All you can get are crate motors, which are rebuilt engines. I'm not sure where the horsepower numbers on crate motors come from. They may not be run on a dyno according to the SAE standdard that is used for legitimate (conventional) new cars. Then again, they may..

There are several hoops to jump through if these cars are to be run in Stock Eliminator, it seems to me.
There are no numbers in the Classification Guide for ANY 2008 Dodges, much less 2009.

If they want to run these things at Pomona in February, somebody had better get busy, it looks like to me...

I sincerely hope they do; it would be really interesting!!!

This car is a 2008 Challenger and the chassis was built to NHRA Stock Eliminator specs. It is the same car driven by Judy Lilly in Denver and is a development car for Mopar. The Drag Pak Challengers are 2009's and can be ordered begining October 17th.(last Friday). Available engines in the Drag Pak cars are 5.7L, 5.9L and 6.1L with stick or auto trans.The Challenger driven at Milan by Jeg has a 392 Crate Hemi with an auto trans and went 10.20 @ 129.29. AutoWeek covered the testing which was cut short due to rain and I would expect magazine coverage by AutoWeek in the very near future.

I'd bet that if Chrysler wants it in the guide it will be in the guide when they want it. They will clear the hoops in a single bound. Now if it was one of us wanting a change, that would be different.
