2008 -2012 Challengers
With Fun new Colors
2008 SRT Limited Edition 6,400 Produced
In 2008 Dodge released the Dodge Challenger again for all of us Muscle car guys.
The 2008 Challenger SRT8 came packing specs like: Limited Edition, numbered dash plaque / 6.1-liter HEMI® V8 engine / Five-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick® / HEMI®
Orange Pearl, Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl or Bright Silver Metallic exterior color options / Dual carbon fiber hood stripes
2010 SE- R/t- SRT -Special Edition R/T Classic
For 2010, the five-speed automatic finally replaced the four-speed across the board. The long-rumored 6.4 liter Hemi V8 may appear for SRT8 models (with cylinder deactivation for reasonable gas mileage), and the Dodge Challenger will get deceleration fuel cutoff to improve gas mileage — even on automatics
New Colors for 2010 on the SRT and R/T only
Plum Crazy-2,337 total Produced
Detonator Yellow-1,400 produced
Furious Fuchsia-400 Produced
2009 Challenger ranked the "Most Appealing Midsize Sporty Car" in the J.D. Power and Associates
2009 SE- R/t- SRT -Special Edition R/T Classic
The SE model has 250-hp 3.5-liter V6 and four-speed automatic transmission .
A six-speed Tremec TR-6060 manual transmission was added in 2009 for the R/T and SRT Challenger. For 2009, the Hemi engine was upgraded to get higher gas mileage and more power, especially at lower engine speeds, thanks to variable cam timing, an expanded MDS range, an increased compression ratio, improved port flow, and reduced restriction exhaust and induction. Other updates are crankshaft structural upgrades, a dual-mass crankshaft damper, floating pin piston design, valve spring design and oil pump capacity increase for VVT.
A special edition Challenger R/T Classic was also introduced in 2009. Sold in Hemi Orange, TorRed, and (later) B5 Blue, Detonator Yellow, and other colors, the R/T Classic has a “billiard ball” stick-shift knob; the original Challenger script on the sides of the front fenders instead of on the grille; a functional hood scoop; and racing stripes that end with “RT.” The engine will be boosted to 376 horsepower for the manual transmission and 372 for the automatic.

"Commemorating four decades of Challenger performance, the new R/T Classic and SRT8 Furious Fuchsia editions modernize one of the most memorable hues from 1970 to create a modern muscle-car that exudes more performance, passion and even more nostalgia," said Ralph Gilles, President and Chief Executive Officer.
the Furious Fuchsia Challengers won't offer any additional performance goodies, but what they do come with is that eye-searingly floral hue along with all the standard trim.
The R/T Classic model gets "A-line" side stripes in Bright White (or Matte Black) along with all the other "heritage" bits that usually come with the Classic such as the 20-inch polished-aluminum wheels, egg-crate grille, body-color rear spoiler, functional hood scoop and bright racing style fuel-filler door.
Inside, monotone Dark Slate Gray leather performance seats and center console armrest with Furious Fuchsia accent stitching are standard while Pearl White performance seats accented with Dark Slate Gray and Furious Fuchsia French-seamed stitching are optional.
For buyers who opt for a clutch, the pistol-gripped, 3.92-geared, anti-spin-enhanced Trak Pak comes standard.
At the top of the spectrum, the big-dog Fuchsia SRT8 - limited to 400 units - gets its wheels done up with Satin Black eyeliner, a plaque on the dash, accent stripes on the standard Pearl White leather SRT performance seats, and "retro-inspired chromed quad exhaust tips".

The 5.7 liter Hemi engine will have an R/T style hood scoop that pushes fresh air into the new cold air intake
Notice that the lower air intake has essentially been flipped upside-down and is now wider at the bottom than the top, the opposite of the current car. Above that, you'll notice that the Ram head Dodge emblem is gone from the nose.
The flush-mounted door handles have also been replaced with new units that, while not as sleek.
The new 2011 Challenger R/T includes a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 with new cold-air induction system for 372 HP with the five-speed Auto Stick transmission or 376 track-tearing horsepower with the Tremec six-speed manual transmission.
