The SRT engineers are back in business! Dodge will be producing the Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak. There are only going to be 50 of them and each will have a special plaque on billet cover of the 3.0L Whipple supercharger indicating its production number. (Note- Race car only- no VIN). While it is impressive that Dodge is producing a new car that is faster than a Demon 1320, with sub-eight second performance, the price will be very steep at an MSRP of $234,995. (Note- You can buy this crate engine for $70K). The Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak is the first race car to be included under the umbrella of the newly reestablished Street and Racing Technology (SRT) Performance division, responsible for SRT high-performance models, Direct Connection performance parts and American brand motorsports initiatives, including Dodge competition in NHRA and the Ram brand’s recently announced plans to return to the NASCAR Truck Series in 2026.
