Overview of the Dodge Charger SRT-8

Click For Print Version: Overview of the Dodge Charger SRT-8


This page is meant to provide a thorough overview of the 2006 Dodge Charger SRT-8. Please be aware that it may be updated at any time to include new content.

Four hundred twenty-five horses strong and just barely street legal. Zero to 60 in the low-5-second range, and back down to full stop in an eye-popping 110 feet. The 6.1-liter HEMI¨-powered Dodge Charger SRT8 is the real deal.

The Dodge Charger SRT-8 features the 6.1-liter HEMI V8. A mix of modern technology and good old-fashioned hot rod engineering enables this beast to churn out a fearsome 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. That's more power per liter than the legendary 426 Street HEMI that reigned supreme in the 1960s and 1970s.

Charger SRT8's rear-wheel-drive layout and performance-tuned four-wheel independent suspension let you drive with confidence. The race-bred design helps ensure that each wheel stays firmly planted to the pavement for the ultimate in high-performance handling, a smooth ride, and maximum control.

Going fast is fun. Stopping fast is critical. Charger SRT8 comes standard with some of the best braking components in the business: lightweight aluminum four-piston Brembo calipers, huge vented discs, and an antilock braking system (ABS) with brake assist on all four wheels.

The proportions are classic rear-wheel drive. The versatility is thoroughly modern. A long, wide hood with functional scoop, arched shoulders, sloping fastback roofline, and rear decklid spoiler pay respect to the classic lines of muscle car legends while providing superior aerodynamics and a race carÐlike profile. Twenty-inch forged aluminum rims are the icing on the cake.

Charger SRT8's driver-oriented cockpit puts you in command of the road with all important controls and information in the line of sight and within easy reach. The power-adjustable leather-trimmed performance front buckets keep you firmly planted with increased side-bolster support and high-grip studs patterned performance suede inserts on the seating surfaces. The five-speed AutoStick transmission provides your choice of fully automatic gear selection or driver-interactive manual control.
