Chrysler is indeed going to release a drag-racing package for its Dodge Challenger sports car.
Set to reach dealerships in July, the new tuning kit will do for both professional racers and enthusiasts.

The package will probably consist of a lighter-weight chassis, which is about 800 pounds (363 kg) lighter than the original car, a number of different versions of the current 5.9-liter HEMI and Magnum engines mated to either automatic or manual gearboxes.
Of course, there will be new lightweight front fascia support system, composite lift-off hood with a functional scoop, an uprated cooling module with electric fan, new brakes and a set of racing seats.
The package’s price will be revealed sometime next month.
