SpeedFactory Challenger in a Supercharged Dodge Challenger SRT8 Grudge Match Drag Race

Mopars at the Strip is an annual MOPAR car show and Drag Race event held at Las Vegas Motor Speedway every year. In 2009 SpeedFactory attended and displayed our 600HP supercharged SpeedFactory Challenger - the first modern Challenger to be supercharged. Next door to us was a supercharged Challenger built by CDC/Group 2. The inevitable occurred - and Rob Wolf, editor of Mopar Collector's Guide, did a "Pinks" style start for the grudge match on the 1/4 mile drag strip. SpeedFactory driver Eddie Rosa emerged victorious with a 1/4 time of 12.374 seconds at 112.66 mph, beating the other car by 4/10 of a second.

The SpeedFactory Challenger has the Stage 3 supercharger package, featuring a Vortech Supercharger at 5.5 lbs boost, Hotchkis handling package, Magnaflow catback exhaust, and SpeedFactory Signature package. Installed options include Richmond 3.55 gears and Boze Tach style forged wheels. Everything else on the car is stock 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8. As shown in the video, the Challenger was on street tires. On drags, the SpeedFactory Challenger runs in the 11s.

Thanks to our partners at Vortech Superchargers, Magnaflow Performance Exhaust, Richmond Gear and Boze Forged Wheels.

When looking at these times, keep in mind that this car wasn't built to be the fastest drag car, it was built to be a production daily driver with better speed and handling over the stock SRT8 and has a warranty. You'll notice there are no slicks, it has full interior, A/C, etc. Also the elevation and heat in Las Vegas are factors.

Hot Rod tested this car and liked it. See the other videos.

We know how to build fast 1/4 cars, our Charger race car set a world record!

I have run the 1/4 mile in 12.7 secs (110 mph) and the 1/8 mile in 7.9 secs (85 mph) in my 2006 Charger Daytona that weights 4300 lbs. with 420 horses and 440 pounds of torque @ the wheels. I love this Challenger, but their numbers don't add up! With that kind of horse power they should have ran high 11s with street tires or low 11s with drag radials at about 120 mph.

Take the elevation into account, approx 2,000 feet. That slows everybody down.

I new the black one would win, i could FEEL it.

[uniqmaster]

cool cars , but man that camera work sucks....

[MrSHIZZLE4u]

I only like Roots or Twin Screw blower.........not Centrifugal.

Nice video though.

even with a s/c'er these cars are still slow, time for them to go on a diet! I was hoping to see some 11 second runs!!

[THEMASTEROFYOU2000]

wow great looking cars.but again as always from the 60's to today..mopar just can't put the numbers out a run of the mill mustang can, go to san antonio texas on any friday night and you'll see 50 or more late model mustang's sitting in line with the a/c on and stereo's blasting, driver probably playing a ps3, then get to the line, smoke off a low 10 pass and turn the a/c back on at the trap lights,sad the new mopars cost within a couple grand of a blown GT500.love'em but that ain't right
