Under the hood is where the 2006 Dodge Charger SRT-8 shines. The 6.1-liter, Hemi V8 delivers a stunning 425 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. The Hemi is a throwback to the late 1960s when the Charger roamed the streets willing and capable of accepting all challengers (no pun intended). The modern day Hemi engine is capable of launching the Charger SRT-8 from 0-60 in a tick over five seconds and can transform a perfectly good set of tires into a cloud of smoke you can watch disappear in the wind. When it comes to power, Dodge has kept the Charger heritage alive.
