I seen one of these run at the Texas MotorPlex two weeks ago. It ran a best of 14.10 in some really good air. It slowed to a 14.50 in the mid day sun. A guy was racing it in the track managers race. Our track mgr. owns a Caddy STS,CTS?, not sure of the right model, its the supercharged one.
This thing is fast! He has had it electroninly tweaked & M/T dot radials, 11.50 @ 119MPH.
He also won the track mgr. race with it.

From what my Chebbie friends tell me that Caddy is a ZR1 with caddy body panels and yeah they are really fast there is one up here in WI, I also have a friend that is the sales guy at the ford dealer here in GB and he gets to take out various models to our weekly car show, he has brought the new Sho's from time to time they are plenty fast too, the new Boss mustangs comming out are gonna be real Fast, and they are supposed to out handle the Gt500's, Dodge NEEDS to do something fast, the 6.4 hemi needs to get supercharged in a SRT8 chally from the factory. prolly not gonna happen... sadly, Hot rod or CC has an article on a street version of the Drag Pack Chally it was doing 12.00's still weighs 4100 pounds too. they had to add all that weight to make it street legal. what a joke,
 
Sounds like a Caddy CTS-V

6.2 liter Supercharged

556 HP @ 6100

551 #/Ft Torque @ 3800

12.3 @ 117 mph

Not too shabby.
 
Thats it yellowdartdave, it has been tuned by one of the best GM guy's here in Tulsa.

I don't know about the Drag Pack Chally, from the description, it sounds more like an 6.4 SRT street car. ifso, not too bad for a 4100lb car.
The Drag Packs are not shipped as a turnkey cars. The actual dp cars are running 9.90 - 10.10 et's. It is versatile on the type of engine you want to install ie; 5.9 mag, 5.7 HEMI ect.
The 2011 DP Challenger will be a turnkey racecar, powered by the Viper V-10 & is being built by Roush industries. that would run quicker than 12.0 for sure.
 
It's yellow and its called the 1320 Challenger, It's in the newest Hot Rod magazine I just got this week, Hot Rod got to play with it for a month I think, It was a factory 2010 drag pack that they converted to a street car, kinda wrecks the idea of a drag pack though, but it's cool none the less,

The mags are so desperate for money I got a 1 year subscription for 10 bucks, otherwise I am not a big fan of Hot Rod. I got CC for the same deal.
