I guess I never figured that the Viper engine would fit in those cars. It actually looks like it went in there fairly well but maybe there are some sheet metal mods.

It looks like a really nice package. Probably would've been fun to work on that project. Whoever ran that project for Mopar didn't feel a need to only use parts out of the MP catalog!

Is that a stock front end except for the brakes?
Looks light. I know the car is a pig front the factory but how much would this car weight as it sits?




Those look like the stock cast arms

MPR did most of the design/fab work on the early ones
and does the GM and ford ones also... I seen the
ford at his shop not long ago but I cant say that

Look at that dash , Lads.
A.C. ?
A.C. ????
Can't be.
If my pockets were deep enough , I'd own one and a wrecked 2010-11 Chally for the title.
That would be one AWESOME streeter.

They were marking up all the street challengers at the dealers around here when they first released them. It's no shock to me.

At that rate, just buy a viper.

Nice car though. I like it.
It's not about what brand parts it has in it. It is what it is.
A race car.

Southland Dodge had the proto-type/test mule at Bowling Green KY division 3 race and at U.S. Nationals. It was running 9.50s

I don't think that $85-$100K is really out of line for the package. If your honest, you'd have that much in building one from scratch.

I was never quite sure why the roll cage wasn't "standard equipment"!

IIRC when SRT was given the go ahead for the V10 Challenger concept car the rules from the head honchos were factory parts and no cutting of sheet metal. It fit so well and easy that they wanted to do a run of production V10 Challengers.
In the end there was cancelled due to not having enough crumple zone from the bumper to the block.

Challenger with a Viper motor, Chevy trans, and a Ford rear end is (should be) a Comp car, not a Stocker.

There's another one running too. So far he and Teuton have been a lot more cautious about trashing their index than the Hemi Drag Pak guys have.

Andy was at Indy a few weeks ago. He brought the car all the way from California to race at the Nationals. He probably was the first one of these cars to hit the track earlier this year.

Intresting photo. Did they remove the Drag Pack emblems from the nose and fenders?
