The 2010 Dodge Challenger is available as a new, limited edition "Plum Crazy" model. The rest of this retro-styled sporty car lineup sees no major changes otherwise. Challenger is rear-wheel drive and seats five. Entry-level SE and mid-line R/T trims continue alongside the flagship SRT8. SE has a 250-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. R/T has 372-hp 5.7-liter V8 matched to a 5-speed automatic. A 6-speed manual is available on the R/T and models so equipped have 376 hp. The automatic-transmission version of the R/T has Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System cylinder deactivation. SRT8 has a 425-hp 6.1-liter V8 mated to either a 5-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual. All manual-transmission Challengers have a hill-holder clutch that holds the brake for three seconds to aid the driver when launching the vehicle on an incline. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and curtain side airbags. Keyless engine start is available, along with Chrysler's Uconnect multimedia suite, which can include a wireless cell phone link, 30-gigabyte hard drive for storing digital music and picture files, and a navigation system. The R/T and SRT8 Plum Crazy have specific paint and trim reminiscent of early-1970s Challengers, which used that color. consumerguideauto
