Check out this Charger SRT8 kissing the asphalt. This style may not be for everyone but you have to admit, it certainly has presence. The lowering came thanks to a Universal Air suspension with BC coils and custom rear arms from Jay’s Hot Rods. The wheels were custom made by Avant Garde. Sized at 21×10.5-13 up front and 21×12.5-23 in the rear! Find more detail at StanceNation. More pictures after the jump!
Today’s reader’s ride is a highly-modified 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 owned by Gregory Torfin of Olympia, Washginton. It is car number 4501 of 6400 produced that year. Writes Gregory: “I stood at the dealer’s door to order this car in December of 2007…..and have smiled every day since! It’s pushing 775 RWHP and 760 RWTQ @ 12 PSI on 92 Octane and Running Out at 10.3’s at 4550 LBS wet!” More pics plus a full list of mods after the jump!
Mark’s Road Runner has a lift off hood due to the high rise intake. You might notice he also has a 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 and a Hemi Durango. Nice combo!
Almost forgot Instagram of the week! This week’s pic is a Challenger SRT8 with custom stripes done by The Sign Savers. Pic by Mopar_Man
You may remember Team Spankin Time from a video we posted last month of them spanking a McLaren MP4-12C. Well, they are not done humiliating supercars! Watch them leave a Ferrari FF after the jump! They also do the same thing to a 530 RWHP Z06. This Kenne Bell Supercharged Challenger runs 10s in street trim. Go Mopar!
I just got this cool pic of these two late model Challengers nose to nose. Here’s the word from Glenda:
We live in a small town in NE. Our neighbor, Greg Wade purchased the black RT about 3 months ago. We have owned the PCP challenger since 2010, bought it new off the showroom. It is a SRT8 6 speed w/hurst shifter, tinted windows, cold air intake and a few other extras. Just thought I would share this. Doug and Glenda Young own the PCP. Love this car.
One more pic of Doug and Glenda’s PCP Challenger after the jump!

Well, to be fair this daily driven SRT8 is Kenne bell supercharged and is pushing 802 RWHP. But it also weighs 4,540 pounds in race trim. So that 10.43 at 133mph is pretty impressive. Video after the jump! Via LXForums
Don’t have a lot of info ont this one, other than that it happened in Northeast Ohio. The Green With Envy 6 speed SRT8 392 was almost brand new before it took out that guardrail. Came from Frederick Motors and still had temp tags. Lots more pics after the jump. Via Moparts
As DodgeForum points out, the 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Core is the most powerful car you can buy under $40,000. Mopar has always been about performance bang for the buck and the Core gets you just that: basically a stripped down, no-nonsense SRT8 Challenger. Here’s how the guys at SRT describe it:
The new 2013 Challenger SRT Core vehicle stands out thanks to its black grille and functional rear spoiler, ‘392’ badge on the front fender and 20-inch cast aluminum five-spoke wheels with black-painted pockets. Brembo® brakes stay and are finished in black for a more understated appearance. The SRT Viper lends its ballistic cloth material to the Challenger SRT Core for aggressively bolstered seats in Dark Slate Gray. Door inserts are finished in an “Axle” textile and a mini-carbon bezel instrument panel completes the appearance.
We describe it as everything you want, and nothing you don’t need. Build yours here. Pic of the Plum Crazy 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Core via Challengertalk
This will be the seventh season of the Top Eliminator program, which honers the best Mopar restorers and modifiers. A total of four winners will be selected in 2013. Two winners will be chosen from competitions at Mopars in the Park and the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals. A third will will be picked from drag cars at the NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis. And this is super cool: a fourth will be chosen online. Builders can upload pics of their Mopars and people will vote to determine the winner. More details at Chyrsler.com
Below is the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 owned by Tom Ledoux of Pearland, Texas which won last year.
