A little help
DESIGN
The Dodge Stratus Super Touring Car was designed, developed and built in-house at the Chrysler Technology Center in Auburn Hills, Mich. A cross-functional team of engineers, technicians and craftspeople collaborated with leading racing experts such as Reynard Racing Cars and PacWest Touring Car Group to develop the four-door, mid-size race car. While the race car's design appears similer to it's production counterpart, little else remains standard on the technologically-superior vehicle.
