Line Lock allows you to lock up only the front brakes by holding down a button on the left steering wheel spoke, hence freeing up the rear tires to spin, howl and send out billows of smoke.
SCAT PACK PATCH
First order of business is to put the 1320 in drag mode and roll into the “burnout box” - a watered down patch of pavement - to heat up the rear tires. I’ll confess I know about as much of the techniques of drag racing as I do about underwater basket weaving, but Dodge provided coaching for us newbies. What is about to roll, is this Scat Pack 1320 down the Pomona drag strip. Nope: It’s a “grassroots” drag racing special that’ll cover the quarter in 11.7 seconds at 115 mph, says Dodge, and drive you home in comfort when the day is done. Named for the number of feet in the quarter mile, this big lug is not trying to out-fancypants the Mustang and Camaro. The $55,190 Scat Pack 1320 is Dodge’s latest iteration of the perennial Brampton-built Challenger to torture its rear tires and flip its middle-digit at convention. Oh, and let’s have fun with some crazy colours and a pissed-off cartoon bee. Five decades may separate these Mopar muscle cars, but the mission statement barely wavers: Get down the quarter-mile as fast as possible, courtesy of some optimized hardware and a seismic, naturally aspirated push-rod V8. Morton invade my concentration at this most crucial point? Because the same bumblebee logo that adorned the rear flanks of that ’69 Dodge stares at me from this 2019 Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320’s instrument binnacle. Article contentĪnd why should the diminutive Mrs. We understand getting the Hellcat if money is no object but on a budget or otherwise, we prefer the Scat Pack.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. If it were our money, we'd gladly save more than $25,000 by getting the Scat Pack Widebody. Even on a race track, it would take some long straights for the Hellcat to hold a tangible advantage and out on public roads at legal speeds, there is barely an appreciable difference in acceleration. Whereas the Hellcat lights up its rear tires with the smallest provocation, the Scat Pack is more effectively able to let you enjoy the power without worrying about crashing or going to prison. After driving a Charger with "only" 485 hp, we found it to be more than adequate and in fact, far more usable out on the road. But driving the Scat Pack has softened our opinion. We found the Hellcat to be surprisingly livable if not a bit scary when pushed hard and it is certainly worthy of dream car status. If you sit around reading reviews of the Hellcat, it may be easy to fall victim to the allure of a sub-$100,000 muscle car with more power than most mid-engine supercars. No matter which version of the Charger you get, Dodge's color palette is filled with bold hues. The Hellcat badges are finished in white or blue depending on the paint color and a unique Daytona stripe sits on the back with a small spoiler to signify it as a special edition. Most Hellcat Chargers ride on black, grey, or bronze wheels but the Daytona Edition wears unique silver ones. Our Hellcat tester was the Daytona Edition, featuring a B5 Blue paint job that is exclusive to that version for the 2020 model year. On the fenders, a 392 HEMI emblem signifies the engine size. The Scat Pack uses a variation of the original Superbee logo, which pictures a bumblebee doing a burnout. Each car comes with unique badging to designate its place in the Charger lineup. Both of these cars feature flared fenders housing 305-section tires wrapped around 20-inch wheels. Dodge used to offer the Hellcat in both of these configurations but now only offers it as a widebody. The Scat Pack is available in standard or widebody guises with the latter sent to us for testing.
