2006 Dodge Charger SRT8

[Mraajdar]

aww man....14 mpg....i would normally lose my appetite for a car with that kind of mpg but this car is too bad ass.

[yopersonaltraina]

Man this makes me wish I had gotten the SRT!!!

[1kingawesome1]

whats is the fastest srt8 charger challenger jeep magnum or 300c

[dodge69874]

Challenger, no doubt. All have like the same output and Challenger is the lightest.

[tneper]

Uhm, the Challenger is 20lbs lighter than the Charger, 4120 to 4140, the weight doesn't make any difference. Charger/300C/Challenger with the automatic are all identical in performance, only the Challenger 6-speed manual is a hair quicker.

[Albee213]

@tneper Most reviews show the Challenger with the 6-speed to be slower. Most automatics are now faster... I still prefer the stick! Wish it was an option on the Charger.

[moparman6270]

The guys at chrysler that designed this new charger must of been under the influence of some kind of narcotics. 68-70 chargers are the best years for the charger. Sorry but a beefed up 4-door car with the charger name slapped on it just does not do it for me. Looks like an avenger on steroids.

[2002regalgs]

The car buying public at large disagrees with you since over 426,000 have been sold since introduction - the fact is no one outside of 100 old MOPAR guys gives two craps about the name or the fact it has two doors. The Challenger has sold only 35,000 cars over two model years, a good indicator of which cars the public actually buys. Sales are the only thing that matter to Chrysler and making the Charger a two door would have been suicide for them as the Challenger's sales indicate.

[moparman6270]

well that is very good information you have there, you must read magazines all day long and study them for hours on end. I think old mopar guys like myself would rather go out and buy the original version of either car, or buy a project car and restore it and have a beautiful example of mopar muscle.

[2002regalgs]

Actually I work as an analyst within the automotive industry. This information is easily obtainable. Again, Chrysler only cares what will sell now. They have to in order to survive. There is no logical business case for a two door Charger, based upon the collapse of the coupe market over the last 20 years. Very, very few have voiced any objections to the Charger name on a four door either; the strong sales of the LX series support that. The Charger "purists" aren't even a blip on the radar.

[moparman6270]

figures, well that if funny because recently i was around 80 acres of classic mopars at the mopar nationals and the topic of a 4-door charger came up quite a bit and how disgraceful it is. I was reading your previous comments and my 69 r/t runs a 12.75 in the 1/4 with very little mods, so go sit behind your desk and analyze some more buddy.

[2002regalgs]

What's your point? Chrysler cares about as much about your input from the Mopar Nationals as Ford does from the Edsel or Model T Clubs. Your demographic isn't relevant. The sales figures are what they are and they say the LX series is a success. Facts are funny things, sir. You can't argue with the numbers.

[moparboy70]

Fuck sales and numbers, the point is you are just an analytic, know it all asshole about everything and nobody really gives a shit about your retarted looking 4-door car of a charger (avenger), except pregnant women that are going grocery shopping and picking their children up from soccer practice !! Pull up to a car show in an srt8 and i will pull up in my 69 r/t, and see who draws the crowd! Better yet line up on the 1/4 mile and see whos laughing then you ignorant asshole!

[2002regalgs]

Wow, I must have hit a nerve. It amazes me that when some people can't engage in a logical, coherent debate, they resort to profanity and name calling. This always indicates that their position is untenable. How sad for you, son, that you weren't taught better manners. BTW, it's apparent that you only like your car because of the attention it gets you at a car show and maybe the little 10 cent trophy you win. I actually track my car and the old Mopars only are competitive when heavily modified.

[moparman6270]

No, I love my car because it is the one and only original dodge charger! If my car was heavily modified i would be running 10's or better in the 1/4 all day long. You just need to go sit behind your desk and analyze a little more while I go out on the open road and enjoy my classic MOPARS!

[LS3Corvette1]

@moparboy70 Learn to spell and use punctuation.

[Albee213]

@moparman6270 Impossible!

[moparboy70]

nah man my dads 70 dart swinger and my 70 original charger could catch it no problem!!! Hell i think my cummins would even catch it!!!!!

[JakeDusangTM]

no , think???

[2002regalgs]

Umm, no. As usual you are wrong regarding the capabilities of a 1970 Charger. Per the 11/70 issue of Motor Trend, the Charger 383 ran a 8.1 0-60 and a 15.15 in the quarter. The 440 6 pack ran 6.9 and 14.74. The Hemi ran 5.7 and 13.73. Swingers were even slower. Look it up. Them's the facts. Not bad in their day but just because you make an old turd loud, doesn't make it fast. Any new SRT8 will crush any old Mopar in both a straight line and in the twisties.

[moparboy70]

Nice research efforts man!! I read that the srt8 family sedan charger runs a 13.5 in the quarter, which is not bad, but not impressive since you are comparing cars that are about 40 years older! Apparently you do not respect the old turd MOPARS, which is a shame. Who is to say my old turd was just made loud? Simple is better, which I do not have to hook my car up to a computer to diagnose any problem I may be having!! So go take your minivan down the track and let me know how it goes!!

[2002regalgs]

Actually, the 12/05 issue of Road & Track got a 4.9 0-60 and a 13.3 in the quarter from this family sedan Charger or "grocery getter" as you called it previously. It's a shame you consider that unimpressive since the ride, handling and braking of any of the new SRT8's would leave a 1970 MOPAR a smouldering wreck on the track. Don't get me wrong - I like the old cars, I even had a 1969 383 Super Bee back in 1978. It was okay but certainly not a performance car in the modern sense of the word.

[moparboy70]

whatever man, just get in touch with a company that sells 4-wheel disc brake conversion kits and coil over/4 link setups for classic mopars if that is the case. For the amount of money you spend on that new so called charger, you think it would be a bit better and have 2 less doors!!

[2002regalgs]

We are talking stock vs. stock, son. Don't even start talking about modding since the new SRT8's would still crush the old ones since the basic platform is so much more advanced and there is a huge aftermarket support network for modern cars. It is "better" in every measurable performance criteria regardless of how many doors it has or what Dodge chose to call it. Did you know every SRT8 can achieve 0-100-0 in only 16.5 seconds? Try that in your drum-braked, torsion bar suspensioned 1970. LMAO!

[moparboy70]

hahahaha... i wouldn't care if the new charger could achieve a 0-100 mph time in 5 seconds, it is still a modern, computer controlled wannabe of a classic piece of american muscle! No shit it is advanced, since we are coming up to the year 2010. I will gladly get on the road and try that in my prehistoric turd any day of the week.. haha. I think you should just go watch a video on a car that suits you better, which is in your screen name!

[2002regalgs]

Why don't you like my DD Regal? It does 0-60 in 6.5 and 15.0 in the quarter (Motor Trend 3/97) - faster, safer and much more comfortably than a 383 Charger from 1970. Since you like to talk about mods, an underdrive SC pulley would put it in the low 14's - faster than the fabled 440 Six Pack. But I digress, since my SRT8 is much more fun. Glad you finally recognize your car for what it is and acknowledge the merits of the new SRT8's. Sadly, the only wannabe is you, son.

[moparboy70]

I do recognize my car as an all American classic muscle car, so thank you. My full size 7,000 pound cummins could do those times pulling a loaded trailer.. haha. The only thing i acknowledge when i am driving down the road in my charger is everyone giving me thumbs up and waving at me, and i can't even park somewhere without someone cornering me to talk about my car, so thanks again!!

[LS3Corvette1]

@moparboy70 It sounds like you really like to stroke yourself, little boy.

[moparboy70]

@LS3Corvette1 mmmmmhmmmm!

[texasflood54]

Been a fan of the Charger ever since I took a ride in my friends dads 68 Charger R/T. He stepped on the gas and it took off like a bat out of hell.

[rscapeking123456]

my dad had that car

[moparboy70]

yeah at least the new challenger actually resembles what it looked like in its time and deserves the name. To call that 4- door grocery getter a charger is just an insult to the legend that it is, and rock on with the mullet!!!!

[LakerKev]

I've seen pictures of a 2 door concept Charger and it looks good. It looks more like the '69 Charger.

[lilcoco0313]

ive got an 07 SXT and even that one kicks freakin ass

[moparboy70]

now a 4 door charger that is awesome!!!... nottt

[2002regalgs]

Like anyone really cares in 2009. The 2 door market has disappeared and before you bring up the Challenger, be aware it has sold less than 30,000 vehicles since introduction, hardly a sales success. Time to cut the mullet off!

[thehondarider250]

for a big "grocery getter" its insane. something ur daddys car cant catch

[TheFightingGale]

dodge forever !

[Mig25foxhound]

i want one in 2010 will they be cheaper?? i mean the 06' charger SRT8

[CefiroGuy3]

the charger looks toooo menacing in the front

to be looking so plain in the back

[viewman5]

i have the perfect healine for 2009 in the carworld 2009

The Year of The Muscle Car

[pman1018]

My absolute FAV Charger, period!

[blackdubsociety]

I dont care what anyone says, but these are on of the sexiest cars for all time. photos don't do this car justice. My only issue is the lack of a manual tranny. which should be offered on any car that is suppose to be sport oriented.

[kingcr3b]

agreed, i love the car, but a manual tranny would be nice, because you can go to redline before you (well i think if you floor it on an auto it does the same) but it would have that kind of Viper SRT10 feeling to the SRT8 if it had a manual!!! ;)

[transporter2422]

Yeah^^ i have the car in blue its a beautiful car

[dragonstudent360]

the colors for this car is red,white,and black

there's no way you got a blue 2006 dodge charger

srt 8

[transporter2422]

I have varnished my Dodge Charger in orginal Dodge blue ;)

The orginal color was black.

[Mig25foxhound]

blue super bee maybe

[transporter2422]

Yep correctly

[cuvah]

WOW! beautiful car

[9ilty]

how much is this car in australian dollars???

[jselsrt8]

Indeed, very nice car. 6.1 Liter 425 Horsepower Supercharged HEMI = SWEET!!!!!!! I hope to own a Charger SRT8 one day.

[vlbhb]

its not supercharged but i think u ment u wanna supercharge it

that thing will fly

[darealcase]

very nice car

[ThaCutestOfThaCute]

thats awesome my dad has a 06 charger srt8 with nitrous its tight

[dozersrt8]

fuk ur is-f

[hjxeifer]

is-f can rape this

[BiggMykexero]

well of course that damn worthless car

has a 8-speed transmission

MOPAR ALL DAY...get it right stupid!

[m112986]

the is-f is faster and a better car but its more in the 60 grand range the srt8 charger is more around 40 or lower range

[greatwhiterose]

PS3MASTER01. Yes mate, it's a 6.1 v8 HEMI, stock 425bhp. K&M Filter and a Diablo sport chip. It's running around 450 - 460bhp.

The Mustang Shelby 06 Hertz Limited Edition pushes out 360bhp little more than a Mustang GT. Peace IAMSPLITTONGUE!!!!

[greatwhiterose]

I bought the SRT8 6.1 v8 last wekend, from Sherwood Park Dodge in Edmonton, Canada. Here are a few cars I've embarrassed since my purchase............. Lancer Evo, 07. All Corvettes so far. Shit cars any way, don't bother racing them any more!!! Mustang Shelby GT. Mustang GT. Infinity (supercharged). 911 Turbo. Dodge RAM SRT10. Nissan Skyline GT-R. Subaru STI-WRX. Nissan 350Z. Transam. Suzuki GSX-R 600. Toyota Lexus.

[IAMSPLITTONGUE]

word homie our chargers makes all the "fast" cars look slow as fuck. dont you love the look on those dummys faces when our big four door goes braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a! and its gone bitch hell ya! check mine out!

[rbxvik]

i like the car itself

but i wish it had manual transmission

it would be more fun then...

[jodl73]

Although I respect the Charger for being such a badass car. I am wondering what you mean by "embarrass"? If you mean keeping up with a car, when that car thought it would kill you, then yeah you can run with all of those cars. But if you mean kill them, then you most likely got lucky, or the others weren't trying. Because most of the vehicles on your list can run even with you, and maybe slightly beat you. The 350z, TransAm, Lexus, and C4 and older vettes are the only ones you can kill.

[ChiTownOnDeck]

r u sure? i LOVE the charger 2 but the srt8 has stock 425 HP and a mustang shelby GT comes with a stock 500 HP, i hate mustangs but i doubt that u beat it

[PS3MASTER01]

hey greatwhiterose just wondering are you talking about a stock hemi charger?

[fashizze]

And a GT500 500 hp would kill that heavy ass 4 door family shit only 425 hp and well over 4000 pounds a shelby cogra would smoke that shit and a modded stang gt would rape it dodge sucks lol only 2 muscle cars R/t nd srt8 thats it

[tksemipro]

fashizze, if the srt-8 sucks so much than why did you tye in srt-8 in the search bar?

[fashizze]

dont get me wrong i happend to love the charger 68 - 1972 they were badass in look and performance i'm just not keen on these "dodge magnum" "chrysler 300" mixed vehicles with the brand "charger" what injustice to a classic muscle car icon it would have been better to make it at least retro not a 4 door family car take the 08 challenger the 08 camaro the 05-08 mustang gt all retro muscle cars and did the old classics real justice

[AUTP2]

times change, if you want justice go get a challenger :-D

[reaxion123]

I some how find your list a bit far-fetched.

[fashizze]

425 horsepower and thats it for the fastest charger the str8 and can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds hell nawl lol..my 06 mustang gt can go from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds and even 3.8 seconds and is only 314 horsepower what a joke that str8 couldnrun or keep up with the fastest stang i.e saleens,gt500s,cobras,terminat­ors,what a joke

[skillzdatkillz123]

The GT won't go from 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, your a fucking joke dude..hahhah. They go 0-60 in usually mid 5's. A super driver might get a better time in a standard. And right after 60, the SRT8 will walk away from the GT.

[fashizze]

I straight up timed my gt when i mashed down on the accelarator and my watch was barely at 4 seconds when it hit 60 mph my stang is automatic no need to shift just floor it and turbo from the start and your right a STR8 might beat a 300 hp gt but thats the first of the fastest stangs jackass lol what would it do against a cobra? or boss? or terminator? or saleen? or the fastest of them all a GT500 which can be up to 550 hp need i say more ..do u have a comeback for that mr charger fanatic?

[skillzdatkillz123]

Buddy, professional drivers with standards can't even get into the high 4's with a stock GT. A stock GT and a Charger R/T is a good race, don't even get me started on how bad the SRT8 would rape you. I hope you record a video of you racing one night and a 6.l Hemi just rapes you completely. The HEMI's don't need to have FI, like those fucking termies or GT500s, Its all engine.

[fashizze]

gts faster than a hemi pal but i did agree with you that a 314 hp wouldnt beat a str8 in a long stretch but it will get a faster lead no doubt do to the lightness of the stang chargers are heavy as fuck and a family car with 4 doors what injustice done to the classic chargers of the late 60's early 70's cant deny that a STR8 wont ever beat the fastest stangs cobras and the GT500 if u believe theycan you are delusional or crazy

[skillzdatkillz123]

A SRT8 will beat a GT off the line, Pal. The R/T won't but in the long run it will walk away from you as well. Idiot mustang owners like you have no clue what your talking about. The GT500's are priced at around 60k, while a SRT8 is around 40k. If you want to take that extra cash and put it into performance, not even counting how much better the SRT8's are interior wise. The SRT8 is all engine, the GT500 needs forced induction.

[fashizze]

Dont u know that gts and other v8 stangs over 300 hp can be modified to up to 600 hp you cant modify a charger lol haha dodge charger only has 2 muscle car makes r/t or daytona and STR8 the others or standard v6 types ford has several variations of v8 S197 stangs and answer my question do u think the fastest charger STR8 can beat the fastest stangs the cobra,boss,terminator,roush,et­c or GT500? which is the fastest

[skillzdatkillz123]

You can't modify a charger? Yes you can, there is a twin turbo SRT8 right on the Forums I visit. You can modify anything you idiot, you can modify a go kart. Put your GT stang to 600 hp and watch the back end fuck up, but you don't understand because your a total dumbass. The Charger only has 2 muscle makes, and the rest are V6's? You do know, the Mustang has a V6 that makes 200 hp, and the Chargers V6 pushes around 250?

[fashizze]

a v6 that is under 300hp is not classified as a muscle car a v8 ponycar at 300 hp and up is factually american muscle and with the right tires i can modify my stang gt up to 600 hp plus its an automatic no problem and those 250 hp chargers wouldnt dare even challenge me knowing the inevitable outcome the v6 chargers of today is just a family car with 4 doors lol chuckling just answer my question and stop beatin around the bush about which would win between a STR8 and cobra or GT500

[skillzdatkillz123]

The price difference in a new GT500 and a SRT8 is about 20k. For 20k less you can get only 75 less hp, what a giant ripoff. The new GT500's are the biggest ripoffs ever, now the Termies were awesome! I never said the V6 model was a muscle car, but neither is the V6 Mustang. And the V6 Charger is faster than the V6 Mustang. Too bad the Mustangs are still in the stone age when it comes to suspension, just like there customers.

[fashizze]

last i checked chrysler is getting more flack than ford and gmc put together i'll give u a page to go to for more detail and i dont drive a v6 as i told u way earlier only american muscle ie gt stangs and i'm gonna ask u for the last time do u think a str8 could smoke a cobra or saleen or the fastest GT500?

[skillzdatkillz123]

If you wan't to get me 20k to make the price even, I KNOW a SRT8 could smoke a GT500. I hate a R/T if your up for a race.

[fashizze]

visit a site thats called dontbuydodgechryslervehicles and how the hell could you beat a 550 hp gt500 or cobra in 425hp heavy ass four door sedan your crazy as fuck

[skillzdatkillz123]

Theres about a 20k price difference. For the same price you buy your GT500 I could buy a Z06 that would blow it's doors off in a straight line, or in the twisties. Give me 20k to make up for the price difference and I guarntee your ass would get kicked, but then again, you drive a little 4.6l V8.

[fashizze]

answer my question charger cheerleader what the hell do u drive obviously nothing fast because you cant afford a zo6 and i assume u dont even have a charger lol "a little 4.6 v8" at 314hp i have dusted r/ts that i challenged and that have challenged me on the highway and at the stop light when i'm out and about and headin for work plus i have outrun 2 ws6 v8 trans am firebirds all fact and on that not i'm done with debating with u on what is best get you a muscle car than talk shit good by

[skillzdatkillz123]

I own a Charger R/T, I'm pushing 350 HP and 390 FT pounds of torque. What about you? I own a 5.7l Hemi V8, mister 4.6l V8..hahaha. WS6's would eat you alive little man. A muscle car is all about big engines, loud exhausts and big cars. Your car really doesn't fit that.

[fashizze]

ive dusted those r/ts and my stang gt is classified as a muscle car lol big cars a camaro ss and z26 is small but its a muscle car a gto is small but is a muscle car a trans am ws6 which ive dusted is small but is a muscle car those r classified as ponys dumbass v8s over 300hp dual pipes etc just like my 06 gt stang and u dont own 2 chargers plus you said earlier u hate r/ts you really r crazy and its serves no purpose to debate with a nut please bother me no more

[skillzdatkillz123]

I never said anything about hating R/T's? Are you a fucking idiot? Last time I checked my cars a V8 over 300hp, Dual Pipes, Etc. A GTO is not a small car by any means, check the curb weight dumbass, it's almost as heavy as my R/T. If you don't believe i have a R/T hit me up with a MSN and I will smoke your ass anyway you can imagine.

[fashizze]

If you wan't to get me 20k to make the price even, I KNOW a SRT8 could smoke a GT500. I hate a R/T if your up for a race...thats what the hell u said crazy about r/ts whats your excuse now and try to make a logical rebutal lol man your a few fries short of a happy meal and dellusional because you have hotwheels chargers and in you deranged mind that makes you a certified charger owner lol your hilarious ..fuckin nutcase lol hahahaha leave me alone

[fashizze]

hit view all comments and scroll down to your name at 20 hours ago and you will see it for yourself i just copied and pasted it to remind u nutcase

[fashizze]

and how can a S197 model be a small car dumbass please leave me alone and play with your hotwheels chargers and make noises GOOD

[fashizze]

GOODBYE

[fashizze]

do u even own a charger? what the hell do u drive

[Timothayyy]

Love these SRT8's in black! Just wish it was 2 door : (

[fastpacedgtp]

As an owner of an '05 GTO, I may prefer my goat, but these are damn fine cars. Having worked on them and driven them, my only detraction was the gargantuan feel of them, but man they can come loaded w /a amazing amount of goodies. In the end I liked the Pontiac more - for me, I wanted a high power coupe.

[scunes]

yeah but can u fit 24's like i can on my charger

[fastpacedgtp]

i'm supposed to want to turn my car into ghetto trash?

19's are just fine by me.

[scunes]

ghetto trash? ghetto is poor. 24s cost more than 19s. u know u would like to have one but cant afford it. so u have to settle for pontiac

[fastpacedgtp]

You're kidding me, right? I have a 2005 GTO and my ol' lady has a 2006 Mustang, I'm pretty sure I'm fine.

Keep those big ugly hoops on, it helps the Chrysler dealerships when you constantly eat up brake pads. I'd know, I've replaced quite a few pads on ghetto-fied Chargers/300s.

Get off it, I said I liked these cars alot, I have experience with them, but I'm not looking for a large 4-door. I'm still a 25 year old kid that prefers two doors.

[fastpacedgtp]

The SRT is the performance model, and it performs damn well, but I can garuntee 98% of SRT owners won't be tossing on 24s, as they hurt the performance significantly.

So going off your statement, and how you defend your large wheel preference, I doubt you went with the SRT anyway.

Again I ask how you can fit larger wheels makes it any superior?

[cgl136]

PONTIAC'S? you are out of your mind, almost all pontiacs are Austrailian cars, not American cars, if you want an American car and not an import, buy a HEMI.

[fastpacedgtp]

What are you talking about? The only Australian thus far has been the GTO.

[fastpacedgtp]

by the way, sweetheart, since you said:

PONTIAC'S? you are out of your mind, almost all pontiacs are Austrailian cars, not American cars, if you want an American car and not an import, buy a HEMI.

Your Charger isn't made in the USA, either.

[Timothayyy]

Only GTO and G8 were Australian designed.

[sdc188]

They have improved on the 2007 model...and the 2008 is said to be even better...my 07 is a beast...while its not the fastest car in the world...you can put 5 adults in the car just fine or take it to the track and run lets just say about 12.76 and our 60 times have been as low as mid 4's
