Both Dodges have the same engine so which one is faster?
The R/T Scat Pack, the most affordable model in the Challenger range, offers buyers the 485-horsepower (361 kilowatt) and 6.4-liter V8. The price for the six-speed manual version starts at $39,995, while the eight-speed automatic model goes up to $40,590. The package also includes four-piston Brembo brakes and Dodge Performance Pages for the infotainment software. It also features performance seats in houndstooth fabric.
This Challenger doesn’t have it. However, buyers can now get the 1320 on the R/T Pack which makes the coupe a better drag racer. Additional equipment includes an SRT-tuned Adaptive Damping Suspension with Drag Mode and TransBrake. Torque Reserve is also included. Half shafts are 41-spline. Nexen SUR4G street legal drag radial tires are featured on the 20-inch wheels. Customers can choose to have the vehicle without a rear bench and front passenger seat, or add them for $1. Dodge claims that the R/T Scat Pack1320 takes only 11.7 seconds to complete the quarter-mile.
The Charger SRT392 is slightly more expensive at $51,145. The Challenger R/T Scat Pack uses the same 485-hp, 6.4-liter naturally-aspirated V8, but this sedan is only available with an eight speed automatic. The performance-oriented four door has six-piston Brembo brake calipers in front and four-piston brake stoppers back. It also features three-mode Bilstein adaptive dampers and SRT driving modes including launch control, shift control, and valet. There are heated leather-upholstered performance seats, as well as an 8.4-inch infotainment screen with navigation.
We now have all the details. Let’s watch the race. The Charger wins the race, but the Challenger is first to the finish.
