The test vehicle is built on the 2015 Dodge Challenger platform and sports a white body, a vintage stripe package, and 426 HEMI® identification. The drag pak test vehicle also includes the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT front and rear fascia trim, rear spoiler and a full roll cage fabricated to NHRA specifications.
Under the hood, Sportsman racers saw a 426 cubic-inch Race HEMI® engine with an aluminum block, steel liners and custom engine calibration. The car boasts a Chrysler-based 727 automatic transmission, a race-style stick shifter with integral line lock, and an aluminum driveshaft. The vehicle also is equipped with a weigh box in the trunk and a trunk-mounted 12 volt battery.
The interior is currently based on the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT interior with the addition of Mopar gauges, driver and passenger lightweight racing seats, along with safety nets and five-point harnesses.
The Mopar drag pak test car also is equipped with 15-inch front and rear wheels, 28-inch diameter drag style front tires (4.5 inches wide) and 30-inch diameter rear tires (9-inches wide). It currently features precision performance front and rear brake rotors, calipers and master cylinder.
The test vehicle’s front suspension currently sports the 2015 Mopar K-Member and strut suspension geometry, front struts with adjustable compression and rebound. At the back of the car, racers will find a four-link rear suspension with Panhard bar, rear solid axle with (FORD) 9-inch aluminum third member, rear shocks with adjustable compression and rebound, and an anti-sway bar.
What???? A Non-Mopar part in a Mopar? Blasphemy!!! How dare they. So I guess that FORD 9 inch style rear axle is Ok since you can nearly hide it, but you better not put a GM LS engine in your Mopar. The previous Drak Pak Challengers also had GM PowerGlide Automatic transmissions. Another demerit for Blasphemy, Oh, but wait, you can't see the transmission either, so thats OK. Makes me laugh.

I can't believe my eyes. This is possibly the worst idea ever. We already have 800 hp 2011 Drag Pak Challengers. This car helps nothing. WE NEED BLOWERS.

When the hellcat came out I didn't know for sure if they would make a 2015 Drag Pak, but it never entered my mind that they would make a 2015 Drag Pak WITHOUT a hellcat engine. Gotta be the stupidest idea ever. Why not put a slant 6 in it? WE NEED BLOWERS

Barton already is .4 quicker than his nearest COPO Camaro. We already have the N/A bragging rights, its just a matter of time for the supercharged.
Mopar to the bone!!!

Its early, just because there was not a blower engine in this one, doesn't mean there can't be. The 426 combo Barton is running is a paper combo that was added later. I would bet there waiting on approval of the blower engine or waiting til they release this(rumored) supercharged V10 to add that as well.
