MOPAR MUSCLE SHOWDOWN: Trackhawk vs. Durango SRT Hellcat vs. Charger Scat Pack | 1/4 Mile Drag Race at Island Dragway
THE BATTLE FOR 1/4 MILE DOMINANCE!
Get ready for an epic triple threat match straight out of the Stellantis (formerly FCA) performance division! It's a fight for the finish line featuring two Supercharged V8 SUVs and one iconic Naturally Aspirated sedan: the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, and the Dodge Charger Scat Pack 392! This Mopar mayhem is taking place on the quarter-mile strip at Island Dragway in New Jersey.
This is a true test of launch control, drivetrain efficiency, and raw horsepower. The two Hellcat-powered SUVs—the Trackhawk and the Durango—benefit from All-Wheel Drive (AWD), giving them a significant traction advantage off the line, especially against the Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) Charger Scat Pack.
The Durango SRT Hellcat and the Jeep Trackhawk share the mighty supercharged $6.2 \text{L}$ HEMI V8 engine, delivering massive power (approx. $710 \text{ HP}$ / $645 \text{ lb-ft}$ and $707 \text{ HP}$ / $645 \text{ lb-ft}$ respectively). However, the Durango is significantly heavier (around $5,710 \text{ lbs}$) than the slightly lighter Trackhawk (around $5,356 \text{ lbs}$).
Challenging the supercharged beasts is the Dodge Charger Scat Pack. While it forgoes the blower, its naturally aspirated $6.4 \text{L}$ 392 HEMI V8 is no slouch, putting down approximately $485 \text{ HP}$ and $475 \text{ lb-ft}$ of torque. Its lighter weight and sedan body style offer better aerodynamics than the SUVs, but the RWD platform means the driver will have to execute a perfect launch to keep pace.
Which Mopar machine will rule the drag strip? Will the AWD Trackhawk's power-to-weight ratio give it the edge, or can the Durango Hellcat's extra grunt and superior stability overcome its bulk? Can the Scat Pack's aggressive $392 \text{ HEMI}$ find enough grip to upset the Hellcat cousins?
THE RACE DETAILS
Format: 3-Way, Head-to-Head Drag Race
Distance: $1/4 \text{ Mile}$
Location: Island Dragway, Great Meadows, New Jersey
