Approved for NHRA Stock and Super Stock Competition (video)
Named for the quarter-mile distance (1,320 feet), the Dodge Challenger Scat Pack 1320 is powered by the 392 HEMI® V-8 engine that delivers 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque. With a quarter-mile elapsed time (E.T.) of 11.70 seconds at 185 kilometres per hour (115 miles per hour), the showroom-stock Challenger Scat Pack 1320 is the fastest naturally aspirated, street-legal muscle car available.
The Dodge Challenger Scat Pack 1320 can be modified for competition in NHRA according to Stock and Super Stock class rules. The vehicle will feature a class weight break of 8.72 and carry a minimum weight of 1,542 kg (3,400 lb). Contestants intending to compete at an NHRA event must meet any and all rules and regulations for the category they intend to enter.
The Challenger Scat Pack 1320 was first announced last year at the 2018 Dodge Mile-High NHRA Nationals near Denver, Colorado. NHRA star and Dodge brand ambassador Leah Pritchett commemorated the vehicle’s unveiling by carrying a special “Angry Bee”-themed paint scheme on her Top Fuel dragster, which she drove all the way to the event win.
Dodge//SRT engineers added drag-specific components and technologies that allow the Challenger Scat Pack 1320 to hit both the street and the drag strip and deliver quick launches when the Christmas tree goes green at the quarter-mile. The Challenger Scat Pack 1320 features include:
TransBrake – locks the output shaft of the automatic transmission to hold the car stationary before a standing start
Torque Reserve – works in conjunction with the TransBrake and Launch Control by managing fuel flow to cylinders and controlling spark advance or retard to balance engine rpm and torque to maximize power delivery and launch performance
Nexen SUR4G Drag Spec 275/40R20 street-legal drag radials – all-new specially developed tires that deliver exceptional grip and consistency at the drag strip with minimal burnout preparation
SRT-tuned three-mode Adaptive Damping Suspension (ADS) electronically re-tuned for the Challenger Scat Pack 1320
Includes Drag Mode that, when engaged, optimizes weight transfer to the rear for best launch traction
Standard interior configuration has driver’s seat only to help reduce weight by approximately 52 kg (114 lb); front passenger seat and rear seat are available individually as $1 options
Performance-tuned asymmetrical limited-slip differential with 3.09 final drive
Extreme-duty 41-spline rear axle half shafts adopted from the Challenger SRT Demon
Line Lock – engages the front brakes to hold the Challenger Scat Pack 1320 stationary, but leaves the rear wheels free for a burnout to heat up and clean the rear tires
Launch Assist – uses wheel speed sensors to watch for driveline-damaging wheel hop at launch and, in milliseconds, modifies the engine torque to regain full grip
Launch Control – controls tire slip during straight-line acceleration
Low Gloss Black 20 x 9.5-inch aluminium-forged wheels with knurled bead seats to minimize tire slip on the wheel
Brembo High-performance Brake Package with four-piston callipers
