2010 Dodge Challenger
The 2010 Dodge Challenger is a large sport coupe that features nostalgic exterior styling and a comfortable ride. This is a muscle car with retro vibes. Its trim levels echo its engine line up. Base Challenger SE comes with a 3.5L V6 that manages 250 horsepower and 250lb-ft of torque. A new five-speed (up from 4 in 2009) is the only transmission for this trim. R/T is powered by a 5.7L V8 that reaches 372 horsepower and 400lb-ft of torque and a five-speed automatic as standard. A manual transmission on the R/T can boost power to 376 hp and 410lb-ft, while the SRT8’s 6.1L V8 pumps out 425 horsepower and 420lb-ft of torque and can pair with either the manual or automatic transmission on the R/T. Going 0-60mph takes the R/T 5.9 seconds, while the SRT8 can do it in 5.3. The 2010 model year also featured two unique and historic Challenger colors: Detonator Yellow and Plum Crazy.
Small Swap for Extra Style
The third-generation Challenger is already a distinctive combination of modernity and retro flair, and sometimes it's the smaller or understated changes that can really make the most impact. A fan-favourite exterior mod for the 2010 Challenger is swapping out the factory fuel door for an aftermarket option. This is a pure cosmetic mod, there really is no other reason to swap out a fuel door, though with most aftermarket doors made from high quality billet aluminium with a plastic inner housing, they are quite durable and long-lasting. With a range of finishes from black, chrome, satin silver or stainless steel, and most embossed with the “Fuel” logo, this can really be an eye-catching upgrade that complements or contrasts with other chrome or blacked out accessories.
Better Burnouts
If you’re regularly testing your SRT8’s acceleration power at the drag strip, a line lock kit will help you better control your burnouts. Also referred to as a roll control kit, a line lock kit is used to lock the front brakes without needing any pressure on the brake pedal. This means you’ll be able to safely perform a burnout or prepare for launch at a drag race without having to ride and potentially damage your brakes. So how does it work? Its basically an electric solenoid controlled by a switch in your shifter. With the brake pedal depressed, you activate the brake-control solenoid switch. Once your foot is removed from the pedal, the solenoid keeps your front brakes locked, with the rear wheel free to spin. You can then rev your V8 to your rpm of choice. Simply trigger the launch by releasing the solenoid switch. A Roll Control Kit’s solenoid valve and brake lines are typically manufactured from heavy-duty billet stainless steel and will include all required fuses and switches. While a Line Lock Kit won’t alter how your brakes perform under normal driving, this type of Kit really is reserved for use in closed track events and for only momentarily locking your brakes, not for extended periods of time. If you’re an advanced mechanic, this might be a straightforward install, but for most, a Line Lock Kit may well be better left to the professionals.
2010 Dodge Challenger Accessories
Accessorizing your vehicle is one of the best things you can do for it because it will make it feel more unique, help you stand out from the crowd, and sometimes even improve performance or technology. 2010 Dodge Challenger accessories will help you accomplish all of that, and more when you choose new hood pins, spoilers, wheels, tires, and other exterior accessories for your muscle car. But let's not forget about the interior. Swapping out the seats for racing seats can help you handle the power more comfortably. Or you can go the technology route and replace the sound system, radio, and lighting. Shift knobs, shift boots, and plenty of other interior accessories are available to help you customize the interior of your 2010 Dodge Challenger.
2010 Dodge Challenger Parts
Muscle car parts are essential if you want your Challenger to keep running smoothly. Parts wear down over time, so we have you covered with new brake pads, rotors, air filters, oil filters, and headlights/taillights. New bumpers for the front and rear of your Challenger will also help you improve the appearance of your vehicle or restore any damage that rocks and debris create during highway driving. New parts for your 2010 Dodge Challenger can also improve performance and the style of your vehicle. With hood scoops and vents you can improve your car’s cooling efficiency, and lightweight carbon fiber parts will reduce its curb weight. Window tints, better mirrors, and other exterior parts improve how well you can see and make decisions behind the wheel.
2010 Dodge Challenger Mods
Parts and accessories are important, but the most fun things to install on your muscle car are mods. 2010 Dodge Challenger mods help you improve performance by improving airflow through the engine, improving traction, and keeping your engine at the optimal temperature. We recommend starting with the exhaust, intake, and intake manifold parts to see how you feel. Then, you can focus on forced induction, like a turbo or supercharger to get the most out of your engine. Lowering springs or air suspension parts will also improve the stance and cornering ability of your Challenger to help it look meaner and handle turns as well as some tuner cars. And the best part? Dodge Challenger accessories, parts, and mods are available for all engine sizes and trim levels, so even a V6 can sound mean and put out massive horsepower amounts with the right blower setup.
