Well, to be accurate, 1969.5.&nbsp; It\u2019s the half-year A12 packaged cars.&nbsp; Both the Super Bee and Road Runner shared this amazing package.&nbsp; It\u2019s not an all-out race car, like the A990, and it\u2019s not the big dollar 426 HEMI<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> car.&nbsp; It was designed to be a daily driver that you\u2019d bring to your local track and have some fun.&nbsp; Chrysler stuffed the car with a 440-V8, then topped it off with three, 2-barrel Holley carbs on a custom aluminum Edelbrock manifold.&nbsp; The fiberglass liftoff hood with giant air scoop was just screaming for attention, yet to grab just a little bit more, the words SIX PACK was emblazoned on both sides of the scoot.&nbsp; Six pack under the hood, and one in the trunk once the racing was over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast Forward 50 years, and I truly feel the 2019 Dodge Challenger R\/T Scat Pack 1320 is the modern version of the A12 cars.&nbsp; It\u2019s not the fastest car in the line up, but was built for the guy with a six pack in the trunk &#8211; Just getting off work, heading to the track for some bracket racing.<br> <br> The 1320 is about budget fun.&nbsp; A car that can get you repeatable results (key for bracket racing) and not breaking the bank.&nbsp; It\u2019s also a car that can serve as your daily driver (one of the reasons it\u2019s rocking 20s and not 17s).&nbsp; For a comparison, I lined up the A12 package to the 1320.&nbsp; Let\u2019s hear what you think.&nbsp; Is the 1320 a worthy successor to the 1969.5 Super Bee and Road Runner?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dodgegarage.com\/news-api\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/A12-vs-1320-full-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"http:\/\/www.dodgegarage.com\/news-api\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/a12-vs-1320-full.jpg noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dodgegarage.com\/news-api\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/A12-vs-1320-partial-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/A12-vs-1320-partial-1.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/A12-vs-1320-partial-1-383x327.jpg 383w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/A12-vs-1320-partial-1-768x656.jpg 768w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/A12-vs-1320-partial-1-527x450.jpg 527w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since coming into the Mopar fold, I\u2019ve had a soft spot for that odd car that was released in 1969.&nbsp;
