Test Drive 2006 Charger

Post by **Giraffe }{unter** » Sat Jul 15, 2006 10:09 pm

Just test drove a 2006 Dodge Charger SRT8 hemi and the SXT 3.5 V6 High Output.

Wow the hemi roared down the highway 80 3k rpm 3rd gear then the dealer started to stare... I also enjoyed the SXT it also had really good power. I need to beat on the dealer a little to get the price to what I feel it's worth and they need to find one that meets my specs/color.

Anyone know how they do in the snow, being rear wheel drive?

ugly

didnt you get rid of your Z because it was RWD

RWD + Lots of power = shit in the snow. It may be better on the newer cars, but still within the shit spectrum.

That car looks too boxy. Don't really like it. I think cars should look sleek and fast, and trucks should look boxy and strong.

I'm partial to full sized 4 door cars, I'm also partial to this full sized 4 door car.

But's that the while point of calling it a Charger... They're trying to modernize the original look.

Then it should be a stinkin' truck.

If I were going to buy an American car, Dodge is the only brand I'd consider. They really seem to have gotten their head and ass wired together since merging with ze Germans

test drive the STi. if you're not into the huge wing look, they're releasing a spiffy lookin limited edition version that looks like a normal sedan...it's also fully plushed out in the interior.

also, you could look into those new AWD lexus things, they seem pretty nice.

drive the gto too.

chek my "drove a 405 HP sti" thread for my shitty review of the gto.

at 32K you should look at it if you are looking at the dodge

Magnum looks much better.. anything else just looks boring. I do like the Stratus though, on a budget that is!

lower the bonnet a bit and put a roof on the back, couldnt tell the difference

Maybe if you look at both cars from the side they will look more similar. I've never actually compared them

The original Charger is a thing of beauty.
