2010 Dodge Challenger Srt8 6-Speed Detonator Yellow Review
Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to get a test drive in a new 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 6-speed in the newly available Detonator Yellow color. Of course, the first thing that grabs your attention on this vehicle is the striking high impact Detonator Yellow paint. This makes it VERY easy to find your Challenger in a parking lot to say the least. In our short drive, the amount of attention that this car attracts is simply amazing.
The rumble of the 6.1L Hemi V8 in the SRT8 brings back fond memories of the legendary 426 Hemi and big block Mopar engines of the 60s and 70s. The exhaust note at idle gives a deep rumble to let you know it’s there, but it’s not too overbearing for those that don’t like too much noise. However, open the throttle up to let the beast run and you are rewarded with a loud muscle car sound that will leave you with a smile on your face every time. The clutch pedal feel is light and the engagement is quite smooth. This is a very welcomed upgrade from the original muscle cars with extremely heavy spring loaded clutch pedals and racing clutches designed for extra heavy duty use.
The interior of the SRT8 is very high quality, especially for this price segment. The seats are very comfortable and very supportive for high speed cornering. The yellow accents are also a nice touch to match the exterior. Everything seems to be in easy reach of the driver. Our only area that seemed to need some improvement is the shifter location relative to the driver. On our tester, it seemed as though the shifter was slightly too close to the driver.
The overall fit and finish was extremely good. Body panel fit was excellent and interior panel fit was equally good. It is obvious Dodge has spent some time to take extra care to make sure everything fits and looks as it should. Some purist will complain that the Challenger SRT8 is a little over-optioned with gadgets like sunroof, navigation system, heated seats, etc. But, most will appreciate the availability of these options in the modern area.
The retro factor of the new Challenger is without question one of the biggest components that will drive sales of this vehicle. For those that were too young or fortunate enough to buy a Challenger when they were originally released in 1970, this car is a second chance to get the performance and look of the original at a fraction of the cost of a restored original model today. So, our recommendation is to get out there and drive one today. Once you do, you’ll be hooked for sure.
