^ to be honest, it will be on the drag strip blowing more then we see them on the roads.

but maybe thats a good thing.

low to mid 30k for a stripped down drag ready Challenger eh? Not bad. Although they really seem to be marketing the Challenger to the drag racing crowd. First it was with the Super Stock, and now this.. Well I guess with the size of the Challenger it’ll probably be mostly on the drag strip then on an actual race track…

HemiR: you sound like you’re on the horns of an enema. Obviously it would depend a hell of a lot what on happens to Chrysler. Let’s face it, in the world of high finance speculation 100k large is nothing. I’d buy the most loaded street version and a drag car to hibernate in the garage, and a 6 speed RT to piss around with. Even if they don’t go bust you’re unlikely in the short term to lose a heck of a lot on depreciation compared to about 95% of the market. If Chrysler does implode- jackpot.

MugenSentraKen, these arent street legal. they are ‘track ready production cars’. how much would mitsu sell a race ready lancer that you can take on the circuit the very next day? 80K to 100K..200K? now, a stripped down street legal Challenger? probably 5K less than an R/T i could imagine, hypothetically 25K?

BAD ASS
…
low to mid 30′s that good.Remember how much is cost to lighten up a car. These have to be had built. Not on the assembly line. That’s why there expensive compared to say a v6 verson off the line. But hey it’s cheeper than buying one and putting another 30k in it to put the right rear end in it motor gear ratio’s and to lighten it up.
Really a bargon

I like the one in the middle, white with the black hood. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll buy one of these instead of the R/T and just hold onto it.

Sick, I saw a Mopar Viper Competition Coupe last thursday, beautiful machine,
