couple reasons why..
1. The dodge drag pack cars are NOT STREET LEGAL. How would you feel if you buaght a car but couldnt license it or drive it on the street? GM feels thats not the way to go with consumers.. 2. Dodge is only making 100 of them a year. Again.. unless you want to pay a huge wad of cash due to exclusivity.. GM feels thats not the way to go... 3. The cars are only available to current established race crews, in other words unless you happen to own a race crew.. your out of luck.

its retarded.
seeing as how the cars are "race-only" and still weigh too much and are too underpowered to compete for any thing serious. tho since they are produced like that "from the factory" i guess they could race in a "stock" class without interiors and all that.

The big decision will be whether you want a 5.9-liter Magnum wedge, 5.7-liter Hemi or the big 'n nasty 6.1-liter Hemi

Sounds more like what a ZL1 could be.

The race version of the Challenger I actually think will sell will be the Dodge Challenger Super Stock... Which is meant to compete in the Eliminator "stock" class in NHRA Racing... but yeah, the Challenger is way too heavy and bulky to competitively compete in actual track racing...
Although this would be the perfect time for Trans Am racing to come back out again...
