Mopar unveiled two new Dodge Challenger Drag Pak options Friday in a move that harkens back to Detroit’s muscle car wars of old, setting the stage for these powerful Chryslers to battle Ford Mustang Cobra Jets and Chevy COPO Camaros at drag strips everywhere.
For the first time, Dodge is offering a supercharged 5.8L HEMI V8 in addition to a naturally aspirated 7.0L HEMI V8.
The automaker hasn’t released performance figures, but did say the car was “consistently in the eights while improving times at the 60-foot mark,” in the company’s news release.
The supercharged Drag Pak Challenger will cost $109,354. The naturally aspirated version costs $99,426.
