Differences between 2010 and 2012 Challenger RT - Dodge Challenger Forum: Challenger & SRT8 Forums

Mighty1 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-04-2013, 10:35 AM

I am looking to get a Challenger RT with plans to do a bunch of mods to. Supercharger, exhaust, suspension, etc. I am looking at a 2010 for $26500 with 23k miles and a brand new 2012 for $28500. Are there any major differences between the 2 years besides the computer?

I would imagine I could get the price lower on the 2010 when I show them the price on the '12 but it would be nice to have a brand new one. Miss that new car smell.

Thanks for any advice you can give

The other item is the changes to the suspension:

*negative camber on front suspension
*more negative camber on rear
*changes in spring / shock tuning
*faster steering ratio on '11+ (electro-hydr. p/s on R/T)

the visual changes:
*steering wheel (smaller diameter, 3 spoke design, thicker rim)
*nose badge deleted
*Keyless Enter & Go door handles, trunk ('11+)

For the $2k in price as much as I love my 2010 I'd say 2012 with a warranty is the way to go. Not sure how the supercharger idea will affect the warranty though?

I think it will kill the power train warranty but hopefully not affect anything else. Either place is gonna rob me on my trade in I think. We'll see what happens.

go wioth the 12. the engine is also different with the VVT. most of the cams out right now are only 08-10 bc of this. However with the new release of CMR tuning, we should see the market increase support for the 11+ regarding CAMS and SCs.
