Mopar once had two in-house drag racing teams


Two clubs of car enthusiasts, one focused primarily on Dodge and the other on the sister Plymouth brand, raced both each other and the national scene in drag racing.

The Golden Commandos club was conceived in 1962 by a small group of technicians, mechanics and engineers from Chrysler Corporation Central Engineering Department.

Locally known as “Detroit’s own Golden Commandos”, the team continually set the bar at the race track. They developed and evaluated new technologies; sharing this technology with other factory teams

Maybe now the SRT people are something similar, but I bet they aren't drag racing quite as often, not even with the Demon
