Scat Pack vs. 1320

I’m looking at both a Scat and a 1320. Both autos and comparably equipped and priced. So just what are the differences. Is anything left off the Scat like sound deadening or anything like that. Another question, my ordered car was built September 5th. Any guess as to how long it takes to get shipped to Missouri. It’s still waiting to be shipped. Thanks

1. My 1320 had limitations until the break in period. It would exit DRAG mode after one acceleration. Now it will stay in DRAG.
2. So, to really tell the difference you need to find a used one.
3. Biggest difference to the driver is probably the tires. Summer drags on the 1320. If you plan to drive in the snow(as MO sometimes sees), you will need to swap out those which can get pricey.
4. Before buying my 1320 sight/driven unseen I drove a 5.7L auto, a 6.4 stick and a 1320 with 17k miles. 1320 hands down winner.

If you’re not going to drag race at a drag strip, get the Scat for less $$$.

The 1320 was built to race. Head to head it’s not even close. The changes in suspension in Drag mode is the biggest difference.

Any real world RWHP difference between them?

Did you say dragging or bragging? It’s all about testosterone and how much you want to stretch the truth. I’ve never lost a race EVER in my challenger says me but the truth is I don’t race it nor do I let some guy with little pecker syndrome goad me into racing. Rev it at a light and watch him go while you just drive away normally. Makes Mr Macho feel like a real Richard.

I was really looking at a 1320, then I read you can't really drive around in (drag mode) it all the time like sport mode.
Says who?

I've had my 2019 since...2019 and drove it most of the time in Drag Mode when stock, and even more so now that it's cammed. Hasn't affected the car one little bit.

A non-raced, well-preserved, low-miles SP 1320 one-seater will be the most likely to go up in value of the non-HC models. Not because of demand from the general public or whatever but because of its uniqueness, novelty & rarity. Kinda the exact opposite of general public demand: only a very unique or special person or collector will be drawn to this especially because of the one-seater aspect, but they will pay more than any other non-HC for a non-raced, well-preserved low-miles example.

oh crap… we got a stock record holder in the house

One of the guys I adopted as a father was Bob Simmerly. In 1963 he went 11.6 at almost 120 in a three on the tree Plymouth. Yeah, with those sh it tires. What did yours do 60 years later?

I prefer the look of the regular body Challengers. The Charger does look better as a widebody though.

the 1320 will hold its value better than a regular scat. If you want a 1320 you gotta buy one. Shaker and T/A is way easier to clone. Matte vinyl and you got a T/A. Change the hood and you got a shaker. 1320 you cannot duplicate.

I like that there's options like the 1320. It has its place, like every other option.

Dodge is the only one imo that did that.

1320 ain't for me tho. My wb keeps up with most of what is on the road and I don't drag, nor race light to light. That extra performance, like a hellcat, would be mostly wasted on me.

I opt for the sexy wb lines and shaker instead.
