Super Stock challenger
:D :D Anyone seen the factory built 2008 dodge challenger super stock drag car? I have :!: :!: do a search from msn.com good looking car. Also find it on www.youtube.com
|
I saw it when they debuted it at Bandimere. Pretty cool piece. I thiught it was kinda strange that they turned off the score boards when Big Daddy and Judy Lilly made their passes. Too bad they won't be able to be titled/registered.
|
:D :D I work at a dealership and i put in a order for one.
|
Which engine? How fast are they supposed to be? Can I ask how much $$$$?
|
The local Dodge dealer, here in winnsburo,La. had one a couple months ago on display, but he wanted $56,000.00 for it, it had all the whistles and bells, but i've seen them in ads for as little as $49,000.00. I guess the best thing about the 2008, is the larger Hemi engine which as i understand will be replaced with a smaller version for 2009. This in it's self make the 2008 a more collectable car. If i were 25 yrs. younger, i would look at buying one and wrapping it up for a few yrs. because for sure you can make money on it down the road.

JMO Zip. That wasn't the same type of car. The dealer had a "production" Challenger. The SS Challenger package cars have not been displayed by anyone except Mopar. They are incomplete, need finishing and definitely not street legal. Think along the lines of the original '68 Hemi Cudas & Darts. I hope the race cars are approved and become available because I have heard several rumors that there are some problems getting them out. :( |
I work at a Dodge dealership, they are stripped down, no radio, no heater just a basic drag car. The wheelbase has been stretched about an inch to make up for the bigger tires. They are not a street legal car, no VIN just a production number. They weigh a 1000 lbs less than the production car, lift off hood, Viper style seats, polycarbonate windows and a bunch of other goodies. You can get them with a 5.7 Hemi, 6.1 Hemi or a 5.9 MaxWedge motor. They will be legal to run in NHRA Stock, Superstock and Comp eliminator classes. Starting price is estimated to be around $33K and up. If I could only convince the wife this is a neccessity but I really dont see that happening!

Will this car be available to the general bracket racer to purchase and if so,when?
|
This challenger is a ''ALL OUT RACE CAR'' to race in super stock, it won't be out to the general public untill late 2009, dealership employee price will be between $30,000-$35,000 depending on which engine is ordered. I work at a dealership and have my eye on this car's. These cars has full roll cage, all racing bell's and whistle's.

Thanks for the info everyone.
|
* No roll bar.
* 360 Magnum, but I haven't seen with what specs. * Lots of other stuff needs to be added or fabricated to complete it because of all the different combinations, class rules and personal preferences. Lots more info on these forum threads: http://www.allpar.com/cars/dodge/sup...hallenger.html http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/...ue#Post4731165 |
I read an artice in Hot Rod (August) about hopping up the new Challenger. They did some basic bolt ons & such... almost in the 12's. I did not realize they were doing a factory drag car!!! Man, you gotta love that- excellent investment too!!

OK, got all the onfo yesterday. You can order these cars through the Parts department at your dealership and since I am the Parts director that rocks!! I am going to try to copy and paste all the info I can...

Got back from SEMA afew days ago. PER NHRA & MOPAR--- the cars haven't been approved yet, the ones at Brainard were considered prototypes, no hp rating on any of the engines & it'll be about 30 days until that's all decided then another 30 days for the cars to be assembled at the Roush facility in Mich. I have my applic. in but I'm not holding my breath I'll get one or that the cars will be completed.
Seems there's an issue as to what the "production" car is like as they are so incomplete there's a question as to its "production" status ---makes sense to me. A car you can't even start, much less drive sounds like just a pile of parts to me. Then you have the issue of how competitive it is in a given class. |
