Mr. Norms Challenger and Cuda


You can expect there to be a few Cuda replicas with so many Challengers headed to SEMA. These two cars are being brought to life by the Famous Mr. Norm, the owner of Grand Spaulding Dodg, famous for building fast Mopars. They both feature Kenne Bell supercharged 6.1 Liter Hemis good for 900 horsepower. They also come with Rodtana wheels, Hotchkis suspensions, SSBC brakes, and custom body pieces. One is just a custom Challenger, while the other has been built to replicate an AAR Cuda.

PRESS RELEASE:

Holy horsepower! It's Mr. Norm and his Super Challenger.

Armed with a pavement pounding 900 horsepower Kenne Bell supercharged and intercooled 6.1 Hemi engine, the Super Challenger is the new Sheriff in town. The neon lit streets and shadowy alleys are rife with pimped out sedans, wicked coupes, and other automotive scum. Life is over for these creatures of the night, 'cause Mr. Norm and the Super Challenger are here to run 'em out of Dodge.

Just the sight of the Super Challenger strikes fear into the hearts of carminals everywhere. With its Jet Black body and Blazing Red stripe, punctuated with the legendary Mark of Mr. Norm on the front fenders, they'll know that they've more than met their match when they face off against the Super Challenger.

And no super heroes ride would be complete without a Katzkin custom leather interior. The guts of the Super Challenger exudes Mr. Norm's take no prisoners attitude, with its black leather and contrasting red accents. Our hero grabs gears with a Hurst Pistol Grip Shifter, the most powerful shifter in the world. Do 'ya feel lucky, punk?

Mr. Norm's Super Challenger forged wheels by Rodtana wear Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires that grip the asphalt with cat woman like claws. Hotchkis Performance created the lowered suspension that provides the crouching, ready to strike stance, while SSBC 8 Piston Disc Brakes are ready to take a Big Bite out of crime.

The bellicose sound produced by the Corsa Performance exhaust on the Super Challenger may wake up the dead in its attempt to muffle the 900 horsepower raging elephant that resides just beneath the Mopar Six Pack hood, but it's music to Mr. Norm's ears. And the Super Challenger's front spoiler and side scoops by Hulst Customs provide the finishing touch to the exterior, providing proof positive that badass really is beautiful.

Introducing the Mr. Norm's Super Cuda.

Drawing inspiration from its race bred relative, the legendary 1970 AAR Cuda, the Super Cuda features a dramatic restyling package that matches heart stopping good looks with heart pounding performance.

Amplifying its presence, the Super Cuda features a modern interpretation of the classic Cuda grille and tail panel, coupled with an aggressive front spoiler that infuses it with undeniable character. Reinforcing the theme, the sides of the Hemi Orange Super Cuda are boldly accented with satin black strobe stripes by Sharpline Converting that match the sinister Sherwin-Williams Planet Color Badass Black that covers the hood and adjacent surfaces, much like its storied ancestor. Inside, the cockpit features a Hurst Shifter for precise shifting of the five speed transmission, a Katzkin "Barracuda" custom leather interior with Hemi Orange perforated inserts and Super Cuda monogrammed carpet mats by Designer Mat.

And if all that's not enough, just wait 'til you push the start button and awaken the wild 900 horsepower Kenne Bell supercharged 16 plug HEMI engine. Singing its siren song through a low restriction Corsa Performance cat back dual exhaust system, the Super Cuda balances tire smoking power with a tuned suspension engineered by Hotchkis Performance. Insuring fade free stops from high speed are massive Stainless Steel Brakes V8 8-Piston calipers. Rolling stock consists of Rodtana 22" modular wheels matched with Pirelli Scorpion Zero Assimetrico ultra high performance tires.

Add it all up and you've got the new Mr. Norm's Super Cuda, the street lethal sport coupe. Armed with nothing less than a ground pounding 6.1 Hemi engine, it's complemented by a chassis with just the right mix of components to harness its power. The Super Cuda looks like a wolf in wolfs clothing, because it is. This is one vehicle that speaks loudly and carries a very big stick.

Mopar Underground Challenger Blacktop


Heres another Challenger from Mopar Underground. This one is a mostly stock R/T with visual upgrades.

Official Dodge Press Release:

Dodge Challenger Blacktop
A menacing creation from the minds of the Mopar Underground design team. The Dodge Challenger Blacktop began life as a 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T equipped with a 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 and six-speed manual transmission. Mopar Underground added custom-made spoilers and front brow. To finish off the look, a black-on-black racing stripe paint scheme was added. The "in the weeds" stance and superb handling characteristics are accomplished by the Mopar coil-over suspension and strut tower brace. Blacktop rolls on massive 22-inch Dodge Viper wheels from Factory Reproductions wrapped in Dunlop tires measuring 265/35 R22 front and 305/30 R22 rear. To ensure the powertrain can keep up with the suspension, underhood performance is enhanced. The addition of Mopar components, including a cat back dual-exhaust, cold air intake, allow the HEMI V-8 to breathe easy. The interior has been enhanced with Katzkin leather seating finished in bright red plus a Mopar Kicker audio system for premium sound.

Classic Design Concepts bringing two Challengers


Here are another two Dodge Challengers reporting for SEMA 2008 Duty. Both are from Classic Design Concepts and are called the Group 2 Widebody Challenger. They both feature a widebody kit to allow for 20x10 inch front and 20x11.5 inch rear wheels. Those wheels be wearing 275 and 315 series Pirelli tires. The kit comes from a stainless mesh grille and aluminum hood featuring CDC's cold air "shaker" system. The white is an R/T and the black is an SRT8. The SRT8 features 560hp due to a Vortech supercharger, Pypes Performance cat-back exhaust, KW adjustable coil-over suspension and Baer brakes. The brakes feature 15 inch rotors and 6 piston calipers.
While the Top Flight Topo Challengers have metal widebody kits, these cars feature composite kits.

Newport Convertibles Challenger


Another post, another Challenger. This one is another convertible, this one is produced by Newport Convertibles though. Newport Convertibles is already making Challenger convertibles to sell.

Group Five Limited Challenger Speedster


Even though the Chevy Camaro is the official car of SEMA 2008, you would never guess it after seeing all the upcoming Dodge Challengers, they are just puring in with no end in sight. I don't see a single problem with that though. Here is Group Five Limited's Challenger Speedster. Not much is known besides what we can see in the drawings.
