Pages upon pages of “reblogged” Challenger (with Plymouth Barracuda shots / road trip photography sprinkled in) show how passionate he is about the American-made muscle car.

This 2010 Hemi Orange Dodge Challenger R/T Classic is the blog owner’s own hooptie, and what a beauty:

Other submitted photos are equally inspiring, with stunning backgrounds or frightening poses. Photo by Red Vette Ranch:

Gotta love this ’71 Challenger Matchbox (or is it a Hot Wheels?) ’71 Challenger by dusty scholl:

There’s a long road from points A to B – why not take the fastest car you got, and travel off into the sunset, towards a rising tide. Photo “Death Valley” by Alan Brazier:

Dodge has come up with an interesting incentive package for folks interested in picking up a Dodge Challenger with a Hemi engine option. It will offer buyers of any 2010 Challenger R/T, R/T Classic, or SRT8 Challenger nearly $2000 in “Mopar Bucks” to spend on factory accessories.

“The Challenger is one of our most accessorized vehicles,” said Pietro Gorlier, president and CEO of Chrysler’s Mopar division. “With this program, Mopar and Dodge are putting $2000 in our customers’ pockets and giving them the chance to accessorize their vehicle.”

With goodies such as upgraded coil-over suspension kits and cat-back exhausts available, it’s easy to see how this incentive will draw in Challenger customers. The $2000 in Mopar Bucks are however, only good on select items, including the above parts, along with performance shifter kits, a Challenger T/A-style hood, a rear “Go-Wing” spoiler, and various exterior graphics.

Dodge also offers Mopar package bundles for the Challenger, including an exterior package at $1,995. There’s also an interior package for $945 for the automatic equipped vehicles and $780 for the manual models. Both interior options are available on R/T sprayed in TorRed, Bright Silver Metallic, Brilliant Black Crystal and Bright White.

Look for Dodge’s Mopar Bucks Program to run through April 30.

NASCAR will allow the Challenger to compete in four “New Car” races next season. For the other 31 races, both Allgaier and Keselowski will pilot their Dodge Charger stock cars. Challenger’s first race will be held at Daytona in July 2010, with a possible Talladega test run sometime soon.

Chrysler & Chrysler Canada are more then happy to promote as many variations on their 2009 – 2010 Dodge challenger. The 09 Challenger SRT8 ($45,995 ) obviously takes the cake for drag-strip icon, with an optional six-speed manual transmission, limited-slip differential, and carbon fiber hood can be complimented with a variety of colors, including “General Lee” orange, Silver/Black Hurst coloring or, my personal fav, metallic blue.

You can also pick up the $34,995 R/T ‘09 model with the familiar 5.7 L V8, or even a bare-bones SE for $24,995. Just don’t expect to blow anyone away at the track. Regardless of horse power, all versions look fantastic speeding around Englishtown’s course. If you’re ever in the area, we highly suggest check out Raceway Park. As for the 2009 Dodge Challenger SXT, here are more realistic options/calculations:

PRICE: $26,995

WORST: Big car feel

Building on the already solid Challenger base, the series-numbered cars will come with red-anodized HARD-DRIVE pistol grip Hurst shifters, 20-inch one-piece forged aluminum Hurst wheels with polished lips and graphite gray spoke insets and red Hurst logo centers.

An Air-Speed rear deck spoiler, Hurst/Eibach suspension, and Hurst/Magnaflow exhaust are intended to make the most of the car’s looks and performance. Inside, the custom Hurst Challengers get black leather interior from Katzkin, plus red inserts, top-stitching and logos. A full complement of Hurst logos in the dash, grille, fender graphics and floor mats wraps up the package.

Is This a 2010 Dodge Charger?

Blurry concept photos have leaked online in recent days, aiming more towards a four door (and boring) Dodge Charger for next year. It’s a sad state of affairs when race car drivers can’t get themselves a nice two door car. Artists renderings (some of which featured here) show a fantastic look at what 2010 may give us when it comes to a future Charger.

2010 Charger/Challenger Concepts

What we love most about all of the Internet’s concept photos from Dodge is an up-sloping rear end. Previous Chargers featured a rear that sloped downward, and only looked like it could catch some wind with the help of a spoiler. Looks like we’ll have to keep our fingers crossed that Dodge will survive, and give us the muscle car rebirth everyone has been dreaming of.
