Inspired by the original 1971 Mr. Norm’s Super Challenger, this low production 2010 Super Challenger is the direct result of what happens when one of the guys who practically pioneered funny car racing gets his hands on one of the baddest Hemi powered cars to ever hit the streets.
With only 4,797 miles on its odometer, this 2010 Dodge started life at Chrysler’s Brampton Canada manufacturing facility where it was covered in a spectacular coat of B5 Blue Pearl Metallic. Up front, an unaltered Challenger header panel houses HID headlights and a honeycomb grille in a traditional black fascia. Below the grille, the front bumper houses a second small air intake that is centered between pristine round fog lights and sits above a black plastic SCCA style chin spoiler. At the top of the grille, the cars functional raised hood has been given a smooth coat of flat black courtesy of Mr. Norm’s Garage. At the sides of the car, custom Mr. Norm’s decals run along the body lines from the top of the front fenders to the top of the rear fenders and give the car a cool updated retro look. Out back, the cars flat black SRT-8 rear decklid spoiler perfectly matches its flat black hood and features a passenger’s side mounted “Mr. Norm’s“ badge. Below that spoiler, a body width Challenger tail light panel is as clear as when it left the showroom floor and sits above a stylized rear bumper that incorporates stainless factory exhaust tips.
Straight from the factory this SRT exclusive Hemi makes impressive performance numbers, but with the help of a Kenne Bell intercooled supercharger, the power goes from wild to insane. Measuring in at roughly 370 cubic inches, Chrysler’s 6.1 liter Hemi uses a revised block, a forged crank, lighter pistons with strengthened connecting rods, variable cam timing and increased flow heads to crank out a 10.3 to 1 compression ratio and 425 horsepower. Mr. Norm’s garage has upfitted the motor with a liquid cooled Kenne Bell supercharger and a Mr. Norm’s designed custom throttle body that bumps power up to 650 tire melting horses. The install is exceptionally clean and looks tidy enough to be an OEM package.
The 650hp engine sends power to the cars factory Tremec 6-speed manual transmission. That transmission spins a new-for-2009 limited slip differential with tall gears. All SRT-8 Challengers are equipped with a sport tuned suspension and stability and traction control from the factory. Braking is handled by factory equipped four wheel Brembo disc brakes with slotted and ventilated rotors, red four piston calipers and a built in electronically controlled anti-lock system. At the corners of the car, fantastic looking 20 inch Alcoa forged aluminum black chrome wheels wear sticky 245/45 Z-rated Goodyear Eagle F1 radials.
Inside the car, Mr. Norm’s took an already nice design that is loaded with factory luxury equipment and made it even better with OEM quality upgrades. In the middle of the dash you’ll find touch screen navigation with a built in AM/FM stereo, CD/DVD player, auxiliary MP3 input and Sirius satellite radio connectivity. The gauge pod features silver faced SRT-8 gauges which look great behind the silver spoke tilt and telescoping, leather wrapped steering wheel. And a set of chrome foot pedals contrasts well against like-new black carpet that is protected by signature Mr. Norm’s floor mats. The console mounted sliding arm rest and eight-way adjustable power seats have been recovered with leather and suede Mr. Norm’s covers that feature silver stitching and prominently display blue accents and blue Mr. Norm’s logos. To put a modern spin on a classic look, a slick carbon fiber pistol grip shift knob is attached to a Mr. Norm’s chrome shifter, and on the passenger’s side of the dash, a black and chrome Mr. Norm’s emblem sits above the cars factory “Challenger SRT“ dash badging.
With only 4,797 miles on its odometer, this 2010 Super Challenger is the perfect car for someone who wants a weekend cruiser that’s going to increase in value over the long term.
