Dodge's Performance Legacy: From SRT to 1320

- 2017: Launched the extreme SRT Demon as a limited-production drag specialist
- 2018: Released wide-body Hellcat variants and Hellcat Redeye

Scat Pack 1320: Purpose-Built Drag Performance
Positioned between the standard Scat Pack and Hellcat models, the 1320 variant (named for the quarter-mile's 1,320 feet) delivers track-focused enhancements while maintaining street legality. Unlike its supercharged siblings, the 1320 proves that displacement and proper engineering can still produce remarkable results.
