Only 50 of Mopar’s new Challenger Drag Pak will be made, each with a serialized plaque for the sake of collectability [Ewww]. This master of the 1320 is powered by a supercharged 354-cubic inch V8 through a 3-speed manually-shifted quick auto to a super sturdy Strange-built 9" rear stick axle. While Dodge didn’t say exactly how much horsepower it makes, or how fast it’ll go, or what kinds of times it will run, it is improved over the outgoing Drag Pak, which was capable of running 7.60s in the quarter mile.

Unveiled this evening at the SEMA show in Las Vegas, the Drag Pak is rumored to be cranking out over 1500 horsepower, . The roll cage inside this car is certified with the NHRA to run at least 7.50s, so it’s pretty likely that Mopar is aiming for that number or quicker. The rear suspension is a custom 4-link. The wheel package is a lightweight Weld Racing aluminum wheel wrapped in massive Mickey Thompson wrinkle wall slicks. That should put the power down alright.

This car will be eligible for competition in NHRA Stock and Super Stock as well as the SAM Tech.edu Factory Stock Showdown. Unfortunately most of the 50 cars here will be sold to collectors who sock them away in climate controlled collections, never once setting tire to a sticky quarter mile.

You hate to see it, folks.

I Might Have a New Favorite Japanese Kei Van-Costume Company
I’ve always admired the Japanese car market’s unique ability to not take itself too seriously, and to be open to having actual, honest fun with their cars. One of the best ways to see how this manifests itself is in the thriving industry of aftermarket kits for Kei-class cars...

This Is a Hilariously Short Trail of Possible Hit-and-Run Evidence
If you hit a car and then just try to drive away like nothing happened, you suck. Don’t do that. If you have accepted the fact that you do, in fact, suck, and decide to be shitty and drive away, though, you may want to be somewhat less dumb...

Earlier today, we told y’all about how two British companies are teaming up the way it should be—rally-ready and relatively affordable. And it got us thinking here at Jalopnik: which cars do you think most deserve a reproduction? Folks are pretty torn about the whole “reproduction” thing. When I...
