It will interesting to see if the car is priced to where a racer could afford it compared to building one.
To avoid collectors, I understand the cars will not be complete (some assembly required
). Mopar wants them on the track, not in some A/C tile floor garage.About $70K is the rumour.

I would still be willing to bet that 1/2 will end up in storage somplce for a future
Barret/Jackson auction.
Pretty neat deal though. Wish Ford/Chevy would do this also.

Here's a great, detailed article on the new race car. I'd love to see Buddy Martin & Herb McCandless with one of these...painted Red, White & Blue!

John, have you heard anything about rear suspension, 4-Link or maybe a Spec sheet that shows modifications to the cars chassis.

Ford is doing this, they are releasing a "Drag Pack" Mustang later this year, it appears to be a very similar deal, it's even about the same price, $70k more or less.

As a Stock Eliminator fan, I'm freakin' overjoyed to see that the factories are even taking a glance at class racing, much less taking active involvement in it!! While the success of the cars remains to be seen, I hope that the publicity and excitement of the new Cobra Jet Mustang and Challenger will bring some fresh interest into class racing. Hopefully GM will follow with a Camaro, though financially it doesn't seem likely. At any rate, it's a fantastic, and mostly unexpected thing in this day and age. And as a Mopar fan, I hope it kicks the crap out of that new Cobra Jet!

Wonder if you are able to buy one if you agree to race the car if any factory support would come with it. UMmmmm maybe if it was the right racer. The Chrysler deal sounds more promising than Ford, at least getting the car in competition.

Well I went to the local dealer to day and they had a SRT8 that someone ordered bet then decided he wanted a stick. Anyway the dealer didn't know anything about these. Go figure
Not unusual. Even back in teh musclecar days, many dealers either had no clue about any of the performance options available, or simply wanted nothing to do with performance cars.
Galdurned hotrodders! Wadda they want to screw up a perfectly good car like that for anyhoo???

Exactly right David. Lot's of small town (country) dealers wanted no part of the musclecar movement. I still remember the dealer in Hermann (MO) nearly refusing to let my Uncle order a Hurst 4-speed in his '69 Dart Swinger 340. He finally gave in and ordered it. When Uncle Jim first fired it up and tried to drive out of the shop with it he killed the motor. The dealer owner jumped on my Uncle and went in to the "if you would have ordered a torqueflight that wouldn't have happened" sermon. There are a couple other small town dealers I know of that refused to order anything with multiple carburation (six packs & HEMI's).
Crazy....
