Dodge has announced the release of a new Challenger edition, the R/T Scat Pack 1320. The car, named for the distance in feet of a quarter mile, is a drag-oriented, street-legal muscle car designed with the grassroots drag racer in mind.

Powered by the dependable and powerful 392 Hemi V8 that delivers 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque, the 1320 comes with the bulletproof 8HP70 TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission.

The new member of the Scat Pack family is packed with exclusive drag strip technology from the iconic Dodge Challenger SRT Demon including SRT-tuned Adaptive Damping Suspension with Drag Mode, Line Lock, transbrake, Torque Reserve and extreme-duty 41-spline half shafts.

The standard interior features a driver’s seat only to help reduce weight. The front passenger seat and rear seat are available as individual $1 options.

For rubber, Dodge has chosen specially developed Nexen SUR4G Drag Spec 275/40R20 street-legal drag radial tires that deliver maximum grip and offer repeatable quarter-mile times.

All of these features result in an elapsed quarter-mile time of 11.7 seconds at 115 mph, making the showroom-stock 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 the fastest naturally aspirated, street-legal muscle car available.

Exterior touches include a new interpretation of the legendary Dodge Super Bee logo, the “Angry Bee,” which marks the front fenders, illuminated Air Catcher headlamps, instrument panel and startup splash screen in the gauge cluster.
