In 2005, the Chrysler-sponsored SRT won the luxury class (and took sixth place, overall) with a slightly-modified Chrysler 300C SRT8 driven by SRT employees David Zelkowski (powertrain engineer) and Erich Heuschele (dynamics specialist). Heuschele said, "We beat nine of 10 Porsches, seven of nine Corvettes, all eight BMW M cars, both Acura NSX-R supercharged racecars, both Superperformance Cobra Daytona Coupes, all five WRX STis/Mitsubishi Evolutions, and the Lotus Elise." Second place overall was taken by a Hennessey 650 Dodge Viper; fourth place overall by a Dodge Ram 1500 tube-frame racecar that won the SUV class; and eight place was taken by Dan Seeley's Dodge SRT4 with Mopar Stage 3 engine and suspension kits (which won the mid-priced class).
