Dodge Unveils 2026 Charger Drag Pak With Supercharged Hemi V8

Only 50 Riley-built, race-only cars are allocated at $234,995 for NHRA Factory Stock use.

Overview

  • The Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak features a 354 cu-in (5.8L) Gen III Hemi topped by a Whipple 3.0L twin-screw supercharger and Dodge claims sub-eight-second quarter-mile performance.
  • A Coan Racing XLT three-speed automatic drives a Mark Williams 9-inch rear axle with a 4.30:1 ratio, with race hardware including line lock, lightweight four-piston brakes, and a parachute.
  • Weight drops roughly 100 lb versus the prior Challenger Drag Pak thanks to carbon body panels and aluminum engine components, with optional lightweight engine, seat, and driveline packages.
  • The car is not street legal and is purpose-built for NHRA Factory Stock Showdown competition, retaining recognizable Charger interior elements alongside a cage, harnesses, and Pro-Comp gauges.
  • Allocations are first-come, first-served with builds by Riley Technologies in Mooresville, North Carolina, and Dodge plans static displays at the NHRA Nevada Nationals and SEMA 2025 before a March 5–8, 2026 Gatornationals debut with $26,000 to the event winner.
