Hemmings and Suppy's Garage converted two SIXPACK-powered Chargers to rear-wheel drive and manual transmissions for professional drifting.

Dodge has teamed with Hemmings Director of Programming Mike Musto and builder and fabricator Suppy Wejpanich of Suppy's Garage to transform two production-based '26 Dodge Charger Scat Packs into 750-horsepower drift cars.

The Charger BOOST Coupe and four-door Charger RPM (Rapid People Mover) debuted August 7 at Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, with professional drifters Corey "The Boss" Hosford and Micah Diaz behind the wheel.

Both cars started with the 550-horsepower, twin-turbocharged SIXPACK H.O.-powered Charger Scat Pack. The build team converted the production all-wheel-drive, automatic-transmission configuration to rear-wheel drive and installed competition-spec manual transmissions, including custom bellhousings and modified driveline components.

Two production-based Charger Scat Packs have been transformed into purpose-built drift cars with rear-wheel drive, manual transmissions and competition-focused hardware, revealed at Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan.

The two cars use different forced-induction configurations. The BOOST Coupe converts the factory twin-turbo system to a high-output single-turbo setup by Turbosmart, while the RPM uses a highly modified Turbosmart twin-turbo system. Both feature custom intake and exhaust systems, MoTeC engine management, rear-mounted cooling systems and custom fuel-delivery components.

The chassis was extensively reworked for drifting, with drift-specific suspension, increased steering angle, custom clutch assemblies, heavy-duty driveshafts, competition axles and hubs, and a Bulldog quick-change rear differential. Driver controls include a custom three-pedal clutch system, hydraulic handbrake and drift-spec braking system.

The production interiors were replaced with competition cockpits featuring full roll cages, containment racing seats and multi-point harnesses. Exterior modifications include custom hoods with integrated exhaust outlets, widened fenders, rear drift wings and custom taillight assemblies. American Racing competition wheels and X-Comp HP performance tires complete the builds.

The cars were developed and built in approximately 60 days for their Roadkill Nights debut. A nine-part video series documents the builds, following Musto, Wejpanich, Hosford, Diaz and the Suppy's Garage team from concept through completion, with the first video now available on Hemmings' YouTube channel and social media platforms.

Following their debut, the Charger BOOST Coupe and Charger RPM are scheduled to compete in demonstrations at Gridlife in Laguna Seca, California, September 18-20, followed by FuelFest at Firebird Motorsports Park in Arizona on December 5.
