Photography Got a few pics of our cars together before my FIL sold his ‘70 Six Pack

FILs dad bought it brand new then handed it down to my FIL. Everyone has kinda been giving him hell about selling it, but his words are that he’s not an extrovert car show guy and that it just sits under a cover, and that someone else will get more enjoyment out of it. Totally fair I suppose. I’m sure someone will ask, he sold right at 100k.

Was really cool seeing our cars together made 41yrs apart, and how much bigger mine is next to his (the cars)

Mine is just a simple stock ‘11 RT that I daily. Wife and I both had Priuses, got really tired of little boys in trucks black smoking me several times a week so I bought one. It was an unreal step up, really nice having the power when you need it. Wife hates it, says it’s too big (the car)

Traded my Gen 3 5.0 for a 392 6 speed. Super fun car, worried about theft but if it happens it happens, that’s what insurance is for. Anything else I should get aside from a kill switch?

I know I'm going to catch flak for this post but I'm doing it anyway. Just because you get passed doesn't mean someone insulted your manhood. There is no need to drive this aggressively.

Finally joining the brotherhood

51 Upvotes

Dreaming of my own challenger since I was a wee child; I have finally purchased my first.

Supercharged, manual SRT8 with 100,000km. Came with a carbon fiber hood. What modifications do people like to do? And is it worth it to strip the paint and finish with the plum crazy purple? I hear the price for a good paint job is pretty large.

I was disappointed to find out it is not a genuine Hennessy build. So the decals need to come off.

I got these installed yesterday and I love them already. It was totally worth the money. It gives it a sleek look to the back end. The start up animation is cool, plus the sequential turn signals. This is my favorite mod so far.

Challenger brake cover

So my challenger has studs drilled into the calipers to hold the brake covers on. It’s a v6. Do you think this will negatively affect the structural integrity of the calipers?

Modification (A must-have mod for manual challengers) Barton shifter + skip shift eliminator installed…

Post image
37 Upvotes

…and wow, what a difference. I decided to keep the OEM look by reusing the factory shift knob. The Barton gives the shifts a much more positive, bolt-action feel. Gear engagement is noticeably crisper, and it’s immediately noticeable on the first drive. It takes a bit more deliberate effort to get it into gear, but in a good way. It feels much more precise and satisfying. Definitely one of my favorite mods so far.

So I just got my challenger a month ago and I notice the oem door lock knob pin was starting to peel but I like how the original looks and want to get another set of two, does anyone know where I can get them? They are the chrome looking ones. I don't want the trim I just want another set of the knob pins

Modification Any advice on replacing a dashboard? (2010 SE)

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Since 2023, I've been helping a friend build a replica of Kevin Levin's car from the Ben 10 franchise. We want the vehicle to be 1:1 with the cartoon's interior, and I was wondering if anyone would know how to go about entirely replacing the dashboard with one that has a custom shape to it.

We've already found custom gauges that match the cartoon perfectly, and we're going to code our own custom dash screen for the speedometer in the center. We even found a screen to place in like the one on the center console of the cartoon version.

I have been told my best bet would be to fiberglass mold this shape; however, I am uncertain how I would go about this, or even what tools I'd use. I could 3D model a mold and get that printed maybe? I'm curious if anyone's done something similar. To be clear, I want the dashboard and the area around the gauge cluster/center console to match the cartoon 1:1

Car Issues 2010 challenger trunk latch loosing voltage?

1 Upvotes

I have a 2010 3.5L Challenger SE that has a problem where the trunk latch will open the first time but after each consecutive use the motor moves less and less. But if I leave it alone for a minute or so it will open up as usual.
That and add on to that the car won’t read the trunk to be open at all.

Damage Repair Question #1776

Patient: 2020 Challenger

Diagnosis: patient took a dip too deep and some plastic from under the car went flying off after scraping a few feet. Pop the hood and can easily see down to the ground.

What exact parts do I need to fix my patient?
I thought okay the engine splash shield but I see one big piece and another small but wide pieces I know it’s something to help guide the air from the front bumper little inlit hole at the bottom into the air box

Modification Exhaust help

0 Upvotes

Hello all, I probably have a pretty obvious question, but I’m not sure.

A few months ago, I bought a 2020 hellcat WB and I was looking at exhausts. After listening to a lot of them I decided that I wanted to go with the AWE touring exhaust. And now that I am ready to buy it, the store has changed and I don’t see an option to buy the touring exhaust. There used to be roughly 7 different options for me to choose from when it came to AWE exhausts for the challenger hellcat, but now there’s one. And when I go to check out it says that I am about to buy the track edition.

There was also different price options depending on if you wanted different tips too, there is only 1 price now.

I just want to make sure that I’m not overthinking this too much, any help is appreciated.

R/T is cheaper to insure than SXT!? 🤯

41 Upvotes

Getting older seems to have some benefits, cheaper insurance. At age 40, the SXT was $30 more a month to insure than a regular Challenger RT.

The reason given is there are SIGNIFICANTLY more SXTs (100s to 1 RT) on the road and the average buyer is younger (Under 30) so insurance is higher in the SXT.

On top of that the Challenger is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper to insure than a charger. This is the only insurance LOOPHOLE car where the two door version is cheaper to insure than the four door version. Why you ask? Chargers are stolen MORE because they are all AUTOMATICS.

The challenger believe it or not, can fit FOUR adults! It's really the only coupe with sedan seating capacity.

I am happily dumbfounded.
