Chrysler Group LLC to Introduce Mopar ’10 Challenger

ONE HOT RIDE

Command the street in a vehicle built with every small nuance, every minute detail, designed to transform your mundane drive home into a one-man car show.

The canvas of the Mopar® ‘10 R/T package begins with a Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat. You choose the accent: Mopar Blue, Red or Silver, and your personal theme is carried through the interior with matched seat and steering wheel stitching. Every passerby will know that you’re driving a true performance machine, as Mopar is prominent throughout the exterior: Mopar-branded hood pin caps, hood graphic, fuel door and fascia badge. Plus, every owner receives a Mopar ’10 R/T Owner’s Kit with heritage parts and a book that outlines the special vehicle build and specification data, as well as a limited-edition sketch of the vehicle signed by Chrysler Group design chief MarkTrostle and Mopar ‘10 merchandise.

PERFORMANCE PERFECTION

The Mopar ’10 Dodge Challenger R/T package comes jam-packed with the authentic performance of Mopar.

The Mopar ’10 R/T is built with a Mopar Cold Air Intake System, which picks up air directed from the performance hood scoop through a new Mopar hood venting system. Handling is improved by the addition of Mopar’s front and rear strut tower braces. Add in a fully-functional T/A style hood with vintage Mopar hood pins, and its 20” forged black finished wheels, and suddenly you’re sitting behind the wheel of a speed demon.

Mopar and Dodge have produced an enthusiast’s dream-come-true. Ask your local dealer how you can possess this limited editon Mopar ’10 Dodge Challenger R/T.

Chris Dufresne Has The Baddest HEMI Magnum In All The Land…

Posted on March 30, 2010 by Brian@Vortech

Chris Dufresne, or HEMI~C~ as he is known to his fellow LXForums.com compatriots, knows how to make some serious horsepower with a boosted HEMI powerplant. After previously winning the 2009 LX and Beyond Nationals in OH by running consistent low 10 second 1/4 miles with a Paxton Supercharger and Nitrous in his 2006 Magnum, Chris made the switch to the Vortech V-7 YSi-Trim and set out to break some records.

First, Chris slapped his street tires back on the front to help conceal the power potential under the hood and got his Magnum onto the Speed Channel show Pass Time, where contestants attempt to guess what they think a car will run in the 1/4 mile after each asking 1 question, and the closest to being correct wins cash. Well, needless to say Chris’ HEMI took them all by surprise, earning the title “Stupid Nasty” from the show’s announcers as Chris rocketed down the strip to a 10.07 @ 133.74.

Then Chris got down to business, installing a new set of heavily worked Performance Werks Racing cylinder heads with Ferrara valves, PAC dual springs, Ti retainers, and ceramic coatings on valve faces/chambers. He also sourced a set of modified fuel injectors from Five O Motorsports, and a new custom tune from Mike Hess. The results were “pure magic” according to Chris, as he proceeded to run in the 9′s without the nitrous.

After making a few additional adjustments, Chris headed to the dyno – 922RWHP/756RWTQ – 93Octane / Street tune / .5 KR

Chris’ Magnum surprises even the track announcer with its incredible 1/4 mile performance…

What’s next for Chris and the Baddest HEMI Magnum around? Dialing the car in with the nitrous on the new setup and hopefully watch the records fall…
