Highway 61 1:18 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T, Plum Crazy

The Dodge Challenger is the name of three different generations of automobiles (two of those being pony cars) produced by American automobile manufacturer Dodge. However, the first use of the Challenger name by Dodge was in 1959 for marketing a "value version" of the full-sized Coronet Silver Challenger.

From model years 1970 to 1974, the first generation Dodge Challenger pony car was built using the Chrysler E platform in hardtop and convertible body styles sharing major components with the Plymouth Barracuda.

The second generation, from model years 1978 to 1983, was a badge engineered Mitsubishi Galant Lambda, a coupe version of an economical compact car.

The third and current generation is a pony car that was introduced in early 2008 originally as a rival to the evolved fifth generation Ford Mustang and the fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro.

In its second year of production, the Challenger received only a few minor feature and option changes. Electronic stability control is newly standard across the entire Challenger model line. R/T models gained the following standard features: automatic headlamps, an LED-lit cupholder, and door-handle lights. UConnect Multimedia and UConnect Navigation options now include steering-wheel audio controls while UConnect Multimedia features have been combined with the optional Sound Group.

The most significant new option for 2010 is the Super Track Pack, which brings a host of track-ready hardware and upgrades that includes:

20x9 wheels with Goodyear F1 Super Car tires
Front and rear Sachs Nivomat self-leveling shock-absorbers
Larger rear stabilizer bar (20mm > 16mm stock)
Variable displacement performance steering pump (standard on 6 speed)
3.06 rear-axle ratio (n/a on 6-speed R/Ts which maintain 3.92 ratio)
Anti-lock 4-Wheel disc heavy-duty brakes with performance brake linings
"ESP-off" stability calibration. A limited-slip differential remained standard only on R/Ts equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission.
