        Dodge Moves Needle Again, Debuts New 807-HP Challenger SRT Super Stock

        SRT team keeps pushing the limits.

        The new 2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock puts out 807 horsepower and is the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car.

        Fiat Chrysler’s long-running Challenger muscle car line-up is getting another new variant — and this one is the fastest muscle car on the planet.

        The new Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock is powered by the same supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi high-output V-8 that powers the SRT Hellcat Redeye; however, the SRT team has made a few tweaks to the powertrain to boost the power output to a stunning 807 horsepower.

        All of that power, surpassing the 707 put out by the brand’s various Hellcat-badged vehicles, propels the new beast from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. It runs the quarter mile in 10.5 seconds. All that power can be yours for just $79,900 and dealers start taking orders later this month with delivery expected in the fall.

        (Dodge ups the hp numbers, adds first Durango Hellcat, new Charger Redeye.)

        The new Challenger SRT Super Stock is powered by the same supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi high-output V-8 that powers the SRT Hellcat Redeye.

        “There are a million jokes about bright colors, loud exhausts and racing stripes that make your car faster, but there is one sure thing — your car is only as fast as your tires,” said Tim Kuniskis, global head of Alfa Romeo and head of Passenger Cars – Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and Fiat, FCA – North America.

        “The 2020 Challenger SRT Super Stock gives our weekend warriors the ability to upgrade to 18-inch drag radials without having to spend a ton of money on changing out brakes and suspension components. The racing community has figured out very quickly that this package is a hot setup.”

        It is a “hot” set up. One that’s been around, largely unchanged, for nearly a decade. The SRT team continues to cajole more power out of the Challenger – and its four-door sibling Charger – to the delight of Mopar mavens. It’s a strategy that sits in contrast to the recently introduced C8 Chevy Corvette, where engineers felt stymied by the previous generations’ front-engine layout.

        (In stunning turnaround, Dodge shoots to top of quality charts, first Detroit brand named #1 on JD Power IQS.)

        They noted at the debut of the first-ever mid-engine ‘Vette that they couldn’t put any more power to the wheels than they already had with the front-engine model. The new Stingray puts out 490 hp, but clocks a sub 4-second 0 to 60 time. However, it’s other competitors, such as the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang remain front-engine models.

        The 2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock races from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and runs the quarter mile in just 10.5 seconds.

        The new Challenger is a drag racer at heart and if you’re going to put that much testosterone under the hood, you need to make some other adjustments as well. Those include:

        • Uniquely tuned Bilstein adaptive-damping high-performance suspension
        • Lightweight all-aluminum Brembo four-piston brake calipers and 14.2-inch vented rotors
        • Standard lightweight 18-by-11-inch wheels in Low Gloss Granite finish
        • Sticky 315/40R18 Nitto NT05R drag radials at all four corners
        • Performance-tuned asymmetrical limited-slip differential with a 3.09 final drive ratio

        The wide body comes standard on the Challenger SRT Super Stock, making room for the wider wheels and the aforementioned standard drag radials.

        (Dodge likely to produce hybrid-based Hellcat in future.)

        Ever since it introduced the 707-hp Hellcat, the SRT team has continued to try to push the limits of the package and the results include the 797-horsepower Dodge Charger SRT Redeye, the most powerful and fastest mass-produced sedan in the world, and the 710-hp Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, the most powerful SUV ever.
