Soooo... What, are they now ignoring the OEM rear suspension rule? The excitement & allure of this class is starting to fade for me.

If you order the Challenger Drag Pak from your local Dodge dealer, you get the cool guy solid rear axle and the proper springs.

Ghey. That just blows it for me. I thought this was billed as a factory supercar shootout. Not factory Stock/Superstock racecar shootout. My interest has officially hit zero. 4 links and struts will be next. Boo.

Brian Lohnes: Initially when I read about this class, I naturally assumed that it was dedicated to the Cobra Jets, Drag Pack Challengers, and the (supposedly) upcoming COPO Camaros, but my assumption was proven very wrong after learning more about what the intention of this whole deal is.

Bret Kepner: It wasn’t just you that was thinking that way, everyone was! The fact is, there are dozens of high performance cars out there now that have no place to race. Go ahead and find a class for your 556hp Cadillac CTS-V, you won’t other than bracket racing. What we wanted to do was really throw open the doors to all the high performance late model cars on the market and let them duke it out. Yes, there will be drag package cars showing up at these races, but the fact is, we’re expecting to see guys in their ZL1 Camaros, Roush Mustangs, SRT8 Challengers, etc there as well.

Honestly, those ZL1's, SRT8's and Roush's have no prayer against the factory built cars if they have to maintain their OEM rear suspensions.
