Dodge Expands On Challenger Lineup With R/T Scat Pack 1320

There is a fine line between genius and madness and Dodge appears to be toeing it as they debut yet another Challenger variation, the R/T Scat Pack 1320.

Sure all the Challenger packages have been kickass in their own right, but it’s hard not to feel bad for Challenger owners of the base models of yesteryear. At a certain point enough is enough, right? Well, apparently that point is not quite yet as Dodge debuted their 2018 R/T Scat Pack 1320. Named for the quarter-mile distance (1320 feet) the 1320 features a 392 HEMI V8 that brings 485hp and 475 lb.-ft. of torque. What does that mean? According to Dodge it means this, “With a quarter-mile (1,320 feet) elapsed time (E.T.) of 11.7 seconds at 115 miles per hour (mph), the showroom-stock 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 is the fastest naturally aspirated, street-legal muscle car available.

Additional specs via Dodge:

-TorqueFlite 8HP70 eight-speed automatic transmission – required equipment for the R/T Scat Pack 1320, replacing the standard manual transmission on the Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack
-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 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 at the drag strip and on the street
-Preproduction testing shows that the Nexen tires demonstrate consistent run times with minimal burnout preparation at the drag strip
-SRT-tuned three-mode Adaptive Damping Suspension (ADS) electronically retuned for the Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320
-Includes Drag Mode that, when engaged, optimizes weight transfer to the rear for best launch traction
