Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Pak: 60 to 0

Many performance cars get measured on the run from 0 to 60 mph.

The Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Pak has notched a sales performance metric – 60 to 0.

All 60 planned copies of Mopar’s factory-built drag race car for NHRA competition have been ordered by dealers. The total covers 35 Drag Paks equipped with the 354-cubic-inch supercharged V-8 and 25 Drag Paks with the naturally aspirated 426 HEMI V-8.

The new Drag Paks are showing up in public.

Supercharged Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Pak ready for delivery.

The recent NHRA meet in Gainesville, Fla., marked the first run of a supercharged Challenger Drag Pak in the Factory Stock FS/XX class and a spot in the eight-car Factory Stock Shootout. Three more Factory Stock Shootouts are scheduled for this summer, in Englishtown, N.J., Norwalk, Ohio, and Indianapolis.

We also spotted a supercharged Challenger Drag Pak on display at the recent Spring Festival of LXs in Anaheim, Calif. Owner Hal Sullivan believes it’s the first one to make it to the West Coast.

Check out one of these tire-smoking race cars by getting to a drag strip this year (may we suggest the Mopar Mile High Nationals near Denver on July 22-24.)

If you want to race at Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Pak, check with your favorite Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge-Ram dealer for help in locating one in stock.

Do you know your blood type? Mine is 100 octane (not your standard blood bank classification). At any given moment, I’m thinking about cars – driving one, fixing one, buying one or (in my dreams) restoring one. So I love to tell stories that involve horsepower, brake and wheel diameters

Do you know your blood type? Mine is 100 octane (not your standard blood bank classification). At any given moment, I’m thinking about cars – driving one, fixing one, buying one or (in my dreams) restoring one. So I love to tell stories that involve horsepower, brake and wheel diameters and 0-to-60 times – and the people who make it happen. Because behind every awesome vehicle are amazing people with vision and the desire to make it a reality. I cover Mopar, Dodge, SRT and motorsports for Stellantis Digital Media. I learned to drive on a 1973 Jeep CJ-5 with the rare Super Jeep option package and three-speed manual transmission. I still belong to the dwindling club of people who prefer to shift their own gears, and think the best way to drive is with the top down!
