My 2006 New Chargers

Well here are the pictures of my new 2006 Dodge Charger. This car is great and has plenty of power, but I have to baby it with the current gas prices. Sad to see what happend down south. Anyway here are my pictures, what do you think?

Re: My 2006 New Chargers

Not really, dealers are not really dealing when they are having a hard time keeping them on the lot. I had them locate this one for me, otherwise it would have taken up to 12 weeks to order one. I didn't want to wait that long. I did get the employee discount from my grandfather though that helps alot.

Re: My 2006 New Chargers

are you going to do anything special to it, like tint windows, try to squeeze out some extra HP elsewhere or are you going to leave it bone stock?

Re: My 2006 New Chargers

For now just stock, I'm going back to get my MBA and I have no time to do anything to it. Later maybe some performance mods but we'll see.

Re: My 2006 New Chargers

Thanks. They call it magnesium peral (SP)
I really liked it compared to the red that they were trying to sell me.

Re: My 2006 New Chargers

"Fast" is in the eye of the beholder. I've been on another forum of Chargers and they are losing to the Mustang regularly (read: EVERY time). Even some Lexus and Trailblazers are blowing away these "fast" Chargers. Pretty sad when a Chevy SUV can blow away a Charger!

I took my 66 down to look at the cars and everyone in the place emptied to the parking lot to look at mine (and I wasn't even parked out front where I was obvious!!). Mine isn't show quality but it is nice. I passed right by the new ones thinking they were Magnums. The dealer in my area had 4 or 5 of the 6.1 Hemis. One thing that really disappointed me was that although my car appears larger, it is several hundred pounds lighter than the new one. Too much electronic crap and airbags, etc, I guess.

Re: My 2006 New Chargers

Your are entitled to your own opinion but I would love to see a stock trailblazer beat a charger. I have always been a chevy guy and there is no way the 4.2 liter in the trailblazer will have the power to beat a charger with the hemi. Comparasons are all relative to what the vehicles are, if a trailblazer was racing a charger with the small v-6 then possibly. Same goes for the Mustang. If I really wanted to I could beat a mustange with my silverado with enough modifications but I really don't care to. The charger was redesigned and there are always people who have problems with the new look or performance or it has 4 doors or the colors. There are plenty of people that like it, thats why Dodge is selling it.
