SEMA '09: Mopar Dodge Challenger 1320, a 556HP Street Legal Drag Car

No SEMA show is complete without some classic American muscle and this year's aftermarket gathering in Las Vegas won't disappoint. One of the highlights at Chrysler's Mopar themed stand this year will be the Dodge Challenger 1320, a street-legal version of the Drag Pak Dodge Challenger racer. Named for the 1,320 feet on a quarter-mile drag strip, the modded Challenger features Mopar's 426 cubic-inch HEMI V-8 crate engine that produces an output of 556 HP and 540 lb.-ft. of peak torque.

The HEMI V8 drives the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox through a custom Dynatrac rear housing with Mopar Dana 60 internals and a selectable, ARB locking differential. The Challenger 1320 also gets a four-corner, adjustable coil-over suspension kit from Mopar that is said to improve handling.

On the outside, the Mopar-prepped Challenger is finished in an eye-popping non-metallic yellow paint with contrasting matte black graphics and Mopar police wheels fitted with Nitto street-legal drag radials.

Other highlights include the carbon fiber hood with the HEMI scoop, front spoiler and grille panel.

The coupe's interior has been stripped out in order to reduce vehicle weight and fitted with a pair of front seats from the Dodge Viper, a sport steering wheel and a Hurst shifter.
