Pics - My mom's new SRT8 Challenger :)

My mom's 2010 Challenger SRT-8. 6.1L Hemi w/Tremec 6spd gear box!

I got her an AFE "stage 2" cold air intake for her birthday on the 22nd of Feb. The plan is to have my dad do a fake "FSB" update for her car and install the intake without her knowing. I'll get to see if she notices the added ponies! Her last car was a SRT-4 that ran 12.8@110... we'll have to get this one up to snuf. Enjoy!

Sick car! When did they start offering a manual? Last i knew the srt8s were auto.

I kinda wanna hear how she fell into an srt4 though! That has to be a good story, and a first i think haha.

Cheers!

It's a great looking car that's for sure. I just wish they weren't so heavy.

late 2009 and/or early 2010 first year of the 6spd I believe.

My family owns a Dodge Dealership in The Dalles, Oregon.
http://www.urnessmotors.com/
Naturally we drive Dodge products... except for my Evo which I keep hidden during family reunions! I've been big into 1st generation Neons before getting the Evo. Red 2dr R/T 400whp/400lb ft ran an 11.8@125mph. That's why I have the name R/TErnie

She got the srt-4 after I took her in a few rides in my car. It was a Chrysler Employee Lease return... 2005 Orange Blast SRT-4 we picked up with 3k miles on it.

Mod list
MSD coil pack
MSD wires
Denso Iridium plugs
Forge WGA
Greddy Profec B spec II
AEM CAI
Custom Aluminum hardpipes by me
TiAL 50mm bov
Cat Delete w/ stock exhaust (she didn't want a 3" exhaust)
Bridgestone RE-01R's on stock wheels
Tein S-tech's
ACT 6puck w/HDPP and Aluminum Flywheel

Her SRT-4 is listed in our used car inventory... haha I actually found a picture. She takes really good care of her cars... I need to get her setup with this new car wash that is supposed to work wonders encapsulating dirt. It's name is some Three Letter Acronym that escapes me at the moment...

Yeah it does weigh a fair bit. I'm working on convincing them that 18x11's and 18x9.5's will save them money on tires compared to the 20's that come on it. keep the 20's for winter wheels...and get her some nice summer wheels with Performance tires instead of the all season crap.

Reminds me of my friend's mom who drivers her SRT-8 Jeep through NYC every day at ridiculous speeds. She's in her 50's.

Kudos to your mother!
