2020 Dodge Challenger Srt Super Stock Just A Freight Train Coming Your Way
The 2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock is the epitome of Detroit Muscle. In typical Dodge fashion, this unique Challenger is among the fastest and most powerful cars on this rotating ball we call Earth. And in typical Dodge fashion, the starting price tag (just under $80,000) is pretty good considering the impressive performance.
Challenger SRT Super Stock: Power & SpecsUnder the hood is the engine we have come to associate more with these cars than any other: the 6.2-liter Hemi high-output V8. The Hemi plant, complete with new powertrain calibrations, spits out 807 horsepower. With four stick-like-glue Nitto NT05R drag radials (315/40R18), the Challenger SRT Super Stock hits 60 in 3.25 seconds and runs the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds.
“Spinning isn’t winning,” said Tim Kuniskis, Global Head of Alfa Romeo and Head of Passenger Cars – Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA – North America. “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.”

During the virtual session, he explained how the Charger and Challenger will always be designed with horsepower at the forefront. However, to use that power effectively, the rest of the vehicle needs to be on point.
“Tire grip for our Dodge/SRT cars is incredibly important,” Kuniskis said. “This is also why we have made the changes we have to the braking and suspension, so it’s better for drivers at the track.”

The 18-by-11-inch wheels in a Low Gloss Granite finish make a nice final touch.
“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,” Kuniskis explained. “The racing community has figured out very quickly that this package is a hot setup.”
