2006-2009 Dodge Charger


The 2006-2009 Dodge Charger is based on the LX platform. Headlights are large with dark surrounds to give an aftermarket look. Charger Hemi 0-60 times are estimated at 6.0 seconds. The base engine was a 3.5 liter V6, but it was supplemented in mid-2007 by a 23E package Charger SE with 2.7 liter V6 and four-speed automatic; a similar Charger had already been sold to rental agencies.

The Dodge Charger SRT8, with its 425 horsepower (420 lb-ft) 6.1 liter Hemi, does 0-60 in five seconds, 0-100-0 mph in the mid-16s, and 60-0 braking in about 110 feet. It uses specially tuned dampers, spring rates, bushings, and anti-sway bars, a half-inch lower ride height, a retuned electronic stability program, and special 20 inch wheels with Goodyear Supercar F1 three-season tires (245/45/20 in the front, and 255/45/20 in the rear). The Charger SRT8 also has Brembo calipers and vented rotors (360 x 32mm discs up front, with 350 x 26mm in the rear). Styling changes include a revised front and rear fascias that helps cool the brakes and reduce lift, a hood scoop, a spoiler, and an SRT badge in the blacked-out grille; it's in silver, black, and red. The interior has grippy seats, a special steering wheel trim, dark-faced gauges, and an LED display for oil temperature or pressure and tire pressure. The differential and axles have also been upgraded.
