Curious as they sold 53 to the public but have no vin so cannot be registered as street legal. Thanks

My thought is, without a VIN the answer would be no but that's only an opinion.
What's the value of it before or after you hack it up to go racing might be worth your consideration.

I would guess not with only 53 and no Vin. There are plenty of Challengers out there now. Instead of starting with a $100,000 car and building a Land Speed Car, start with a $10,000 car and spend $100,000 turning it into to a land speed race car....now that's the LSR way!  :cheers:

You could probably do 130 and 150 club with it at WoS... if you have to put it on the salt

What difference does it make if they only produced 10 Challengers with the drag pack?
It's the car not the way it's outfitted.

To buy a Drag Pak car new from dodge you have to "submit a Dodge Challenger Drag Pak Application" and they will decide if you get one. That clearly is not "available from any dealers inventory for sale to the general public". That doesn't mean you cant enter a Drag Pak car in SCTA, it just means you have to enter it as a "2010 Dodge Challenger" and it's production status will be based on how closely it compares to a production Dodge Challenger. For the 2010 car the Drag Pak hood is different so you may have to change it out for a stock shaped hood. I think that's the only real difference that would matter in your case.

But it could get messy for some of the other year vehicles. For the 2011 car, it comes with a V10 which the production Challenger never did, so that may be an engine swap and have to run in GC.

So you could run a Drag Pak car but it may not be considered Production.

I agree with John. The car is sold as a Drag Pack package and if less than 500 were produced the car will have to run in a class other than Production.
