Maybe, just maybe, GM will give us our own 'body-in-white' that's 800 lbs lighter, with an LS9 in it, just for racing only......

Dodge Challenger Super Stock Drag car to be available within weeks! According to oh20, a Challenger 800 pounds lighter than the production version will be available for racing. This will be a special factory package built for NHRA-sanctioned Stock Eliminator drag racing. Features will include a unique serial number sequence, variations of current Hemi and 5.9 liter Magnum engines, automatic or manual transmission, and special lightweight features including:
• Lightweight front fascia support system
• Composite lift-off hood with functional scoop
• Lightweight cooling module with electric fan
• Special modified drop-out front crossmember
• Lightweight drag race-only front brake assembly
• Seats to accommodate six-point harness
• Special Body-in-White modified for drag racing
This is one serious package that does away with such frills as windshield wipers, power windows, HVAC System, sound deadener and rear seats to create one lightweight and intense racing machine. Additional details will be available next week.

If the LS9 is the new supercharged engine, it'll never happen due to rules in the NHRA, you can only run N/A in stock eliminator. Oh, and flame me all you want, but I'd buy a v6 challenger before I bought a new camaro.

I'd buy a v6 camaro... I think they will be faster than the dodge... correct me if i am wrong.. but isn't the dodge gunna be heavy??

You don't think the new camaro isn't gonna be heavy? In my opinion, the challenger looks 10x better than the new camaro. Nothing personal to the camaro owners, but I just don't like the looks of most camaros, I'd almost always take a trans am, even though they are the same basic car.
