Dodge//SRT Could Return To IMSA Racing With Help From Peugeot Sport!​

With the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Peugeot S.A. (PSA) merger to form Stellantis complete, the two companies have started to collaborate its next generation of production vehicles together as we have seen in the recent EV Day 2021 Presentation. But while that presentation explained the benefits of platform sharing for production vehicles, it did not discuss the idea of sharing race car architectures between the two different sides of the company.

Dodge/SRT can use this opportunity as a RnD and test bed and utilize the GME-6T instead of Peugeot’s engine.

Although my interest is NHRA drag racing and NASCAR, any type of racing for Dodge enhances and promotes the performance essence of the brand. When you commit to performance you must race and you must build vehicles that are reflective of that performance commitment. I think using the spine of this race car, with power and modifications from Dodge would be the best route. The very thought that the corporate leadership is thinking about Dodge in this conversation boosts my hopes of a NASCAR return for Dodge and lots of new performance toys from Dodge for folks like me. Have no doubt, Dodge can do this racing program justice. Smart investment Stellantis.

I thought SRT was going away?
SRT is right now a sorta Dodge subsidiary more than anything, I'd like to think. Used to be it's own thing under FCA but that was canned for some reason.

If you look at the Charger Daytona EV concept, you'll see a car that's readying for 2024 clearly sporting new SRT badging on the steering wheel and elsewhere.

@CloversPlusCats I did see that and they're calling it an SRT so it's very confusing as to what the brand is doing. I hope that SRT continues
