The drag-oriented, street-legal 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 is now National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) approved, getting the green light to be modified for competition in NHRA Stock and Super Stock Sportsman class competition for the 2019 season.

Named for the quarter-mile distance (1,320 feet), the Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 is powered by the 392 HEMI V-8 engine that delivers 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque. With a quarter-mile E.T. of 11.70 seconds at 115 mph, the showroom-stock Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 is designed to be the fastest naturally aspirated, street-legal muscle car available.

The Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 is approved to be modified to race in NHRA Stock Eliminator and Super Stock competition. In Stock Eliminator, the car fits directly into the “B” Stock category, with competitors able to move up and down to run in the “A” or “C” Stock classes.
 
The Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 can also compete in the SS/FA class in Super Stock, but is also eligible for other specific classifications such as SS/EA or SS/GA. Grassroots NHRA Sportsman racers will have more flexibility to compete in a variety of Stock and Super Stock categories by adjusting the NHRA minimum vehicle weight.

The Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 is also approved to race without modification in National Muscle Car Association (NMCA) events.

In related news, Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 owners will also receive complimentary, one-year memberships in the NHRA and NMCA for the 2019 season thanks to Dodge.
