Recently updated on January 27, 2016 at 06:27 am

We have just found a tuned Dodge Challenger SRT8 from the rare Limited Edition (number 5537 of 6400 built copies) that was not modified by a special tuning company but by a very private tuning enthusiast named Thomas Backe (and Ms. Kerstin) Passion & Hobby is clearly dedicated to your Dodge Challenger SRT8 and the topic of "Tuning". The nice thing about such conversions is the fact that parts from a wide variety of suppliers can be found on such a vehicle and that in the end you get a car that is considered unique and with such an individual configuration is certainly not to be found a second time for this challenger that of course to a special degree. Who can say, for example, that US tuner luminary John D'Agostino has a signature on the air filter box or that they have a 12-layer paint job !? Lambo doors or a mega high-quality muscle car airbrush lettering including dumbbells are also available Crossover airbrush from Reuterstadt Stavenhagen not a matter of course. Personally, I like these conversions best because the private tuners are not bound to any product lines but can give free rein to their thoughts and often their own work on the body or the interior can be found. The personal touch of the owner is reflected in such a vehicle perfectly and only with such a personal touch can a car arise so unique! We know a few details about the modifications to the Dodge Challenger SRT8. What we have learned, we have listed below for you in a summary. Many thanks to Thomas for the nice phone call and have fun with the Dodge!

Ps. Even more privately tuned vehicles can be found in ours Selfmade category!
