A 512-cubic-inch V-10 engine, modified for drag racing in the National Hot Rod Association Stock and Super Stock classes, powers the 2011 Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Pak.

Mopar® Magazine dedicates this issue’s Cover Feature to Chrysler Group LLC products that made the Journey to the 2010 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show held Nov. 2–5 in Las Vegas. Chrysler Group prepared 35 vehicles for SEMA where Mopar filled its 15,300 square-foot exhibit with customized Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram and Fiat vehicles.

Starting on page 10, we’ll showcase the new V-10-powered 2011 Mopar Challenger Drag Pak, several Moparized vehicles, and Mopar performance parts and accessories. No matter where your passion lies—Muscle, Street, Speed or Trail—Mopar’s got you covered.

If you’re looking for head-turning image vehicles, turn to pages 28–30 and we’ll give a glimpse of a few of the vehicles that were on display at SEMA—including two vehicles Chrysler Group has decided to bring to production!

Speaking of production vehicles, you’ll want to read about the recent introduction of two all-new smokin’ hot Dodge vehicles—The 2011 Dodge Durango on pages 8–9, and the 2011 Dodge Charger on page 6.

With winter approaching, it’s a good time to prepare vehicles for the cold weather. There is plenty of useful service and repair information in this issue, including winter vehicle preparation on pages 36–37, fluid selection tips on pages 44–45, and strut diagnosis and service on pages 46–47. You’ll also want to check out the new features and benefits of Mopar’s recently refreshed technical service information Web site, TechAuthority.com, on page 31.

From all of us at Mopar Magazine, thank you for your interest and support of Mopar. We hope you have a safe and happy holiday season and a prosperous new year.
