NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

FCA-North America, Dodge’s parent company, hosted a media day that provided speedy scribes, including members of the NHRA National Dragster staff, the first chance to drive the 485-hp 392-equipped Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 on the famed Pomona Dragstrip. The car comes with a factory line loc for burnouts, built-in transbrake for launches, and Nexen drag radial tires with a proprietary tread compound. The car will go 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds.

Purchasing a 1320 also gets you a one-year NHRA membership, which comes with a subscription to NHRA National Dragster, along with other benefits that can be found on the NHRA Member website.

Journalists also got their first look at Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye, which sports a 797-hp 6.2-liter supercharged powerplant with 707 foot-pounds of torque. With specs of 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, a 10.8-second quarter-mile, and 203-mph top speed, it’s the quickest, fastest, and most powerful muscle car sold. Also on hand was the Challenger R/T Scat Pack, which also sports the 485-hp 392 Hemi but wider wheels and tires and a new suspension that makes it an exceptional handler.
