2019 Dodge Challenger: Demon technology in a series car

This record's own dek describes 2019 as the year Demon technology reaches a series car: the 797-hp SRT Hellcat Redeye, a Scat Pack Widebody, the drag-strip 1320 package, and a 100-car Mopar '19. This record's own overview states that the lineup ran from the 305-hp SXT at $27,295 to the new SRT Hellcat Redeye at $69,650, whose high-output supercharged 6.2 HEMI made 797 hp and 707 lb-ft, while the standard Hellcat was re-rated at 717 hp and 656 lb-ft and the R/T Scat Pack could now be ordered as a Widebody, 3.5 inches wider, all prices excluding $1,395 destination.^1,2

The R/T Scat Pack 1320 package, at $3,995 with the automatic required, carried Demon drag equipment per this record's own overview: TransBrake, Torque Reserve, Nexen drag radials and a driver's seat only, with the passenger and rear seats offered at $1 each, and Dodge claiming 11.7 seconds at 115 mph in showroom-stock form, a figure carried in this record's own performance section. Late in the year Mopar announced the Mopar '19 Challenger on the R/T Scat Pack, 100 cars split 90 for the US and 10 for Canada, at $45,835.^3,4

This record's own overview states that no 2019 model-year production figure was found, with FCA's reported 60,997 calendar-year 2019 US Challenger sales reused as the best available substitute. This record's own production section documents a 1320 built total of 1,054 cars, 1,026 for the US and 28 for Canada, sourced to a single MoparInsiders article that the record's own note says credits Dodge without naming the underlying document; that total is broken down across sixteen colors, from 232 Pitch Black cars down to single pre-production Yellow Jacket and Billet cars the article itself describes as not sold to the public.^5,6

Five engines are documented: the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 at 305 hp, the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 at up to 375 hp and 410 lb-ft, the 6.4-liter (392) HEMI V-8 at 485 hp and 475 lb-ft, the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 at 717 hp and 656 lb-ft on the standard Hellcat, and the supercharged high-output 6.2-liter HEMI at 797 hp and 707 lb-ft on the Redeye. Two transmissions are documented, the TR-6060 six-speed manual, standard on the R/T, R/T Scat Pack and SRT Hellcat, and the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic, standard on the V-6 and Redeye and required with the 1320 package.²

This record documents an extensive options list, including the 1320 and Mopar '19 packages themselves, the Widebody package, and lettered equipment groups spanning Alcantara, Alpine and Harman Kardon audio, Laguna leather, a Lightweight package for the Redeye, and Shaker, T/A and R/T Classic appearance packages. Fifteen exterior colors are documented, two of them new for the year, alongside ten interior trim descriptions including the 1320's driver-seat-only Houndstooth cloth configuration; this record's own specifications section is empty for the year.⁷

This record's own performance section carries a single manufacturer claim, the 1320's 11.7-second quarter mile at 115 mph already noted above, and its identification section is empty, a documented gap rather than an assumption that no VIN or plant data was ever published. Its conflicts section logs a single dispute, the R/T Scat Pack's base price given as $38,995 in one release and $39,245 in another dated release, with this record's own treatment showing both figures with attribution rather than choosing between them.^1,3
