Dodge Challenger Drag-Racing Version confirmed

Chrysler confirmed the official debut of the drag-racing package for the Dodge Challenger for this summer. The idea was first announced back at the 2007 SEMA Show, when a Challenger drag-racing package was shown with competition-bred versions of the third-generation Hemi engine.

The drag-racing Challenger will be a latter-day version of the late-’60s Hemi Dart and Barracuda package cars from Chrysler, says Georgevich.
