The new\nfourth-generation Challenger Drag Pak offers racers the choice of buying a\ncomplete, turnkey package ready for the track or a variety of modular kits to\ninstall on their own Dodge Challenger drag car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMopar and\nDodge\/\/SRT collaborated to make this factory production-based Challenger Drag\nPak not only a force to be reckoned with at the strip, but also an instant\ncollectable for Mopar enthusiasts,\u201d said Mark Bosanac, Head of Mopar Service,\nParts & Customer Care, FCA US LLC \u2013 North America. \u201cOur legacy has been won\nat the track by the women and men who pour all they have into being the best.\nThis new Challenger Drag Pak gives them the tools to stay in front of the\ncompetition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HERITAGE-INSPIRED GRAPHICS SIGNAL\nPERFORMANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The red, white and blue color scheme on the fourth-generation Challenger Drag Pak displays a modern flavor, seasoned with nostalgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"mopar<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The graphics\npackage is anchored by the blue Mopar logo and red \u201cdragpak\u201d badging on the\nquarter panels above the rear wheels. The red band wraps around the rear of the\ncar, connecting the badges. \u201cWe want this to look so cool that when the\ncustomer buys a Challenger Drag Pak, he or she wants to run these graphics\nbecause they are so iconic and stand out,\u201d says Mark Trostle, Head of\nPerformance, Passenger Car and Utility Vehicle Design for FCA US LLC \u2013 North\nAmerica. \u201cMopar people are proud of the heritage and the look and they want to\nshow that off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOUR GENERATIONS OF TRACK EXPERIENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up front, a\nunique engine crossmember lowers the center of gravity and improves weight\ndistribution. The front also includes specific Bilstein double-adjustable\nstruts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nrace-ready 2020 Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Pak, powered by the supercharged\n354-cubic-inch HEMI\u00ae<\/sup> V8 engine, is fitted with a T400 three-speed transmission\nwith a Kwik-Shift manual shifter, lightweight driveshaft, front and rear racing\nbrakes, RacetechTM<\/sup> seats, Racepak Smartwire fully programmable power\ndistribution center and a new, exclusive Drag Pak lightweight wheel and tire\npackage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
