Dodge//SRT Introduce the All-New 2019 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack 1320
Dodge//SRT have announced that they will be creating yet another street-to-strip drag car, albeit a much more toned down version than the Challenger SRT Demon, with the introduction of the drag-oriented and street-legal 2019 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack 1320. The car was unveiled today in Denver prior to the Dodge Mile-High NHRA Nationals Powered by Mopar, which is taking place this weekend (July 20-22) at Bandimere Speedway. The new model was named for the quarter-mile distance (1,320 feet) and features the powerful 392 HEMI V8 engine under the hood which produces 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque paired to a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission with class-exclusive TransBrake. The car will come fitted with a set of specially developed Nexen SUR4G Drag Spec 275/40R20 street-legal drag radial tires that deliver maximum grip on the drag strip. The car has been clocked in on the quarter-mile with an impressive time of just 11.7 seconds at 185 km/h (115 mph) which makes it the fastest naturally aspirated, street-legal muscle car. Other performance features on the Scat Pack 1320 include SRT-tuned three-mode Adaptive Damping Suspension (ADS), limited slip differential, Line Lock, extreme-duty 41-spline rear axle half shafts, Line Lock, Launch Assist, and Brembo high performance 4-piston brakes. Inside features only the driver’s seat with the passenger and rear seat offered individually as 1$ options, and a 8.4-in. Uconnect touchscreen that allows the driver to activate the aforementioned Launch Control and Line Lock through the use of the Performance Control app. To help commemorate the unveiling of the new model, there will be a special 1320-themed pain scheme on the Mopar Dodge Top Fuel dragster which will be driven by Don Schumacher Racing star Leah Prichett. Fourteen different colours will be available for the Scat Pack 1320, which adds $3,995 to the MSRP of $50,945 for the Dodge Challenger Scat Pack. It will be available in late 2018.
