Factory Viper V10 Powered Dodge Challenger Drag Pak

This is a Factory Dodge Viper Powered Dodge Challenger, called the 2011 Drag Pak.
The Drag Pak is a turn key drag car for NHRA stock and super stock classes, with this car being #21 of just 70 produced, and sold new for $85,000 each.
Power comes from a specially modified 8.4 liter Viper V10 never officially rated from the factory, paired with a 2-speed automatic transmission and strange engineering 9-inch rear end, capable of dropping 9 second ¼ mile times.
Additional features include a specially modified body, lightweight components, manual steering rack, stripped interior, and more.

I saw one of these Viper powered Drag Pak Challengers run at Zmax dragway one year. It was different but pretty cool.

[@jalopy_jeff]

They are pretty rowdy!

I'll put this here you guys back in the early 90's the Chevy Caprice yep the box body made a one off prototype they stuffed a V-12 under the hood. Sad thing is this prototype disappeared without a trace. GM felt at the time that it was only a skunk 🦨 works program for a short period of time. There was also the SN-95 mustang prototype with the V-10 stuffed under the hood. Ford did dapple a bit with the dark arts of making outlaw but they only realized the had to dumb it down and stick a modular V-8 due to emissions. Dodge however has proven this makes one offs even better to have the perfect modern form of drag vehicle.

So a V10 will fit under the hood hmm.

[@MattHawk5.0]

Yeah, you wouldn’t expect that considering how big the vipers front end is to accommodate this engine.

[@Shadow.CS8]

@@MattHawk5.0you forget the viper is actually pretty small

[@25nahshon]

​@Fire-0-Aspect , not the hood. The front if the Viper is huge

[@ThomasTheTankEngine22]

​@@25nahshonbecause the rest of the car is small...

[@25nahshon]

@@ThomasTheTankEngine22, that's the point of my comment. I never said that the car was big.

The demon before creation

[@royrauch9775]

Love to buy one and slap some DEALER PLATES on it and cruise the local hot spot! Watch the jaws drop as that is WAY COOLER than the Helliphant motor!

[@chargerdave2046]

And that's why Dodge is so frickin 😎

[@ryancoffey4327]

I bet it sounds awesome.

[@jalopy_jeff]

It sure does! Wish I had a video!

2011 Drag Pak V10 Challenger is the best Dodge

[@Hammerback972]

That car has been painted. Fender and door are different shades of red. I dont see that boat running a 9 second quarter unless it has a pair of 88s we don't see. The Viper engine is over 3" longer than the demon engine and that trans is not a light weight either. But. Its cool to someone.

[@claiborneeastjr4129]

Somewhat reminiscent of the Hurst-built HEMI Dart cars of yesteryear, which were purpose-built drag machines.

[@masjuggalo]

You know I wanted me a V10 Dodge Magnum since they came out and now I know that I can do it with pretty much all Dodge parts.. oh yeah! Yep just a stock Dodge Magnum😂

[@jalopy_jeff]

Do it!

[@airforceveteran71]

Rather have this than the 2024 EV Charger Daytona Scat Pack...weighing it at 5,838 pounds and a lot slower.

[@unclemar8352]

Has anyone else been able to shed that much weight from a challenger? That’s a lot of weight savings. 💯

[@Handles_are_good_for_holding]

That’s cool. And that price

[@Hybrdxs]

Where can I find the list of the available colors?

[@trashyspeeds266]

Red black and white.

[@BackyardClunkers77]

So the V10's will fit in the Challenger's engine bays.... this gives me an idea..🤔👨🏼‍🏭

[@davethompson1545]

Mopar or no car!
