Re: Lug Wrench [two4]
Just an FYI, the lug wrench is not the wrong size, the problem is Dodge creates a 2 piece Lug Nut which as soon as you put the lug wrench on the top piece tends to blow out, either expanding(so it won't fit in the lug wrench) or completly stripping so the top piece seems too small and it will just spin, your best bet is to buy an after-market lug ...

Lug Wrench
I had my 1st flat on my 2006 Charger R/T today. When I went to change the tire, I found out that the factory lug wrench doesn't fit my factory lugs. I contacted Dodge and they said I should contact the dealer for assisstance in getting the right lug wrench. Well that's sure gonna help me with the flat I have now. Just glad it was near home and not on ... Read More

Re: [carcrazy35]
Unfortunately these cars will not have the same investment potential as the old Mopars. Dodge has built over 14,000 Charger Daytonas since 2006. Granted, the TorRed only accounts for 2,000 of those, but the Daytona itself is not a rare thing. I was behind a Plum Crazy Daytona (only 1,400 of those) last week in morning traffic, and regularly see GoManGo and Top Banana Daytonas. Maybe in 40 or 50 years, ... Read More

Any Chance The Concept Car Would Be Resurrected?

Re: 2006 Azera Limited vs. 2006 Charger SE [xtec]
In your opinion, the Charger is better looking than the Azera, but in my opinion, the Charger just looks ugly and cheap. There's very little chrome on the outside, the body shape is awkward and screams boy racer, and the inside is loaded with hard plastic surfaces. Even if it had the best powertrain in the world, I still couldn't get past the UGLY. I do like the looks of the ... Read More

First of all, I don't have a Hyundai Azera. As matter of fact, I own one of the luxury cars that you've listed above so I think I do know a thing or few about luxury cars. Second, where did I say that the Azera is a luxury car? I said it is a near luxury car which is different. A luxury car like you said is a BMW, MB, Lexus ... Read More

Re: 2006 Azera Limited vs. 2006 Charger SE [joe97]
With the kind of craptaculour interior material and build quality in the Charger (or any Dodge) I don't care if it has the heritage of a Rolls Royce I would still choose the Hyundai over it. Charger is a budget sporty RWD sedan and Azera is a near-luxury sedan, the only similarity between the two is the size.

Re: 2006 Azera Limited vs. 2006 Charger SE [cobrazera]
The responder who calls the Dodge 3.5 " HO " does so because that's what Dodge itself calls it in their ads. If having equal or more torque than HP is the criteria for HO, then the GM 3800 pushrod engine is HO. LOL So is my 1996 Accord, with 139 lb-ft and 130 hp. :) Who knew it was a hot rod?!?!? Just kidding, just kidding.

Re: 2006 Azera Limited vs. 2006 Charger SE [xtec]
Okay, so what it has a Merceds 5 speed, it's still a Dodge 3.5. Nobody said you were thinking about the Azera when you put your exhaust system on. Again, YOU are the one that made the statment that putting the Borla exhaust system on made your Charger equal to the Azera. You said it, nobody else did.

You don't have to talk down to me, I'm not trying to bash Dodge or promote Hyundai (I personally didn't care for either). You've just sort of contradicted your earlier statement, which is what I had responded to previously. That statement was: I have had Borlas dual exhaust put on my Charger.That makes me pretty equal to the Azeras. Deductive reasoning would say Borlas improve performace. You said "that," meaning the ... Read More

Re: 2006 Azera Limited vs. 2006 Charger SE [joe97]
FYI, I don't drive an Azera (nor any Hyundai), I don't drive a Charger (nor any Dodge). I just pointed out how igorant your comments were. Hyundai owners are getting penalized because they drive an Azera?? - "at the end of the day you're stuck with...an Azera." Are you making a statement, reiterating what was already said, asking a question or what???

Re: 2006 R/T Charger Lease Question [team118]
Hi team118. Money factors are used to calculate the interest portion of vehicles' monthly payments (residual values are used to calculate the other part, the depreciation portion). A vehicle's "buy rate" lease money factor is the number that is published by the bank that you are leasing through. Banks essentially provide dealers with a list of what their buy rates are for every vehicle that they lease. It is important to ... Read More

Re: 2006 Dodge Charger R/T "Daytona" - Total Shock [lavrishevo]
You never got your answer.The Hemi is no differant then any other when it comes to modifying.You make the same adjustments.When you put on headers you should adjust your fuel mixture or you run to lean and could burn up pistons and valves.I always advanced the timing a little its give you a little bit better response.I think you mileage is pretty good for what you did.

Re: 2006 Dodge Charger R/T "Daytona" - Total Shock [used2bfast]

My Daytona is also very reactive off the line, slipping in between cars around town and especially on the highway. I babied it up until around 1000 miles. Sincerely, c21edmack

Re: 2006 Dodge Charger R/T "Daytona" - Total Shock [batista]

Normally you lose 15% which would be 340x0.85=289hp and for the V6 it would be 250x0.85=213hp, correct?

Hi Xtec, Your 3.5L 24-valve V-6 is a completely different animal than my elephant wannabe. It is far more critically tuned, breathes better, and delivers more hp/litre than my motor (215 hp for your 3.5L V-6 vs 266 hp for my 5.7L V-8). Therefore, it would be natural that you would see better economy than I, especially when we consider that your final drive ratio is 3.15:1, rather than my 2.88:1. ... Read More

Charger RT
Tex10 is correct. The 1969s came with 440s, but they also had the 426 Hemi as an option. Yes, they came stock with a 4 spd manual. While the 4 spds are a hoot, many people preferred the automatic for racing. After 1971 the Charger RT was history (until 2006 of course). In 1972 it was the 340 Magnum and 440 Magnum as the hot models but the horsepower dropped significantly. ... Read More

They buffed 4 layers of clear coat off and there still are spots. The service manager said it was caused by acid rain. They want to repaint vehicle. I want the vehicle replaced not repainted. Will I be able to do this?

Re: Mustang vs. Charger [batista]
i did a little more research to dispute your rediculous argument. last months car and driver results.... 350 hp charger (dont know where youre getting the 400 from unless your talking about the upcomming srt) 35500 price as tested. 14.2 sec 1/4 mile. thats a full 1/2 second slower than the most conservative results on the mustang. 5.6 second 0-60. .2 slower than a mustang car and driver also did indeed ...

Re: People stare.........EVERYWHERE !! [discgolfer99]
YOU’RE NOT KIDDING!!!!!! I bought a 2006 charger silver steel R/T a month ago. I liked the car and did get people starring at it. BUT.... on 8-12-06 I received a call from a dodge dealer that the new DAYTONA MANGO COLOR was in. I did some research and found out they are only making 4000 of the mango color and 4000 of the yellow. I went and looked at the ... Read More

Re: Hello Everyone! [midnightcowboy]
Thanks for the great feedback Midnight Cowboy! Not too many people are familiar with the subtle intricacies that make the 5-speed automatic with Autostick shine. To change back to the normal Drive gear you have to press and hold the selector lever in the “D +” direction. The transmission will shift from the current gear directly to gear “D”. I can’t say for certain whether or not you’ll find xenons and ... Read More

Re: HEMI [jimhemi]
Thanks for the link Jimhemi, I have seen those pictures before. The engineering team that worked on the 2006 Dodge Charger wanted to go for something more modern, retro wasn’t what they were going for. They wanted to pay homage to the muscle cars of the 60’s without retro styling. I can’t comment of the 2009 Challenger as there has been no official word in regards to it at this point. ... Read More

Re: HEMI [tex10]
Hey tex10, Well I’m more than confident that the 2006 Dodge Charger SRT-8 will re-kindle your love for American Muscle! The 6.1L (370 cu. in.) HEMI engine produces a whopping 425 bhp, and an astounding 420 ft. lbs. of torque. The Charger SRT-8 will be hitting dealerships across the country in late fall/early winter. John B.

Re: Hello again everyone!! [heinzh2]
The number that Dodge has released at this time is 4000 of each color. There will be plaques inside of the vehicle as well to indicate which number it is (xxxx/4000). I can’t say for certain whether either of those colors will be offered on future Charger Daytona Models or future Charger models in general. Dodge has announced though that there will be additional heritage colors offered in the future. Those ... Read More

Hello again everyone!!
Jimhemi, I can’t specify why we don’t have anything set up for the 2006 Dodge Charger at the NHRA events. We do have Chrysler and Jeep events running through the summer this year. I have noted your comments and we’ll see what’s offered for Dodge next year. Regarding your Mopar question, Mopar is treated as a whole separate entity from the Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler brands of which I represent. What ... Read More

Re: Charger RT [kowalski] Dodges Warrenty has changed [kowalski]
DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group is doing away with its 7-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty on all vehicles beginning with the 2006 model year. The warranty, once standard on all vehicles, will now be an option. The Auburn Hills automaker began offering the warranty in 2002 to show it had overcome quality problems and as an incentive to woo back buyers. The company says vehicle quality scores have risen for 13 consecutive years, and ... Read More

Not Goose-Stepping to Daimler's Spin Doctors
The car that Daimler is parading around as the 2006 Dodge Charger is a travesty. It's a squat, stubby Ford Maverick look-alike with a Dodge Dakota truck snub-nosed grill. It's about as aerodynamic as a carboard box. It looks hideous as far as I'm concerned and its a slap in the face to the Charger legacy. Hee Haw's Lu Lu has more in common with Pamela Sue Anderson than Daimler's abortion ... Read More

Re: AWD Option? [robint]
Robin: 2006 Charger is (IMHO) the most exciting new car announced so far. Even my pal JIMHEMI went and got prices for it, and he isn't exactly carrying pictures of it in his wallet :) As I've stated here and in other boards, I won't be able to live with myself if I have a RWD car and get stuck in a snowbank. I will wait for an AWD Hemi (which ... Read More

Re: Question for RobinT [cfazzari]
I'm well aware of the history of the Challengers and the pony cars that they competed with. The point being, you wouldn't see a Corvette or Mustang with 4 doors was the same as why the Charger shouldn't be called a Charger. The 2006 Charger should have been called a Monaco or something more in line with Chrysler's rich history. This was a marketing ploy. I also don't need to be ... Read More

Yes there is a chance that the Dodge Information Center will join discussions within the Dodge Magnum board.

Question for RobinT
Hi again cfazzari and gsemike. I’m ecstatic about the communication that’s going on here. I’m so glad to see there’s so much interest. I wish I could tell you that your requests will all come to fruition, but as I mentioned in my previous post, unfortunately, I cannot discuss future plans or projects. I can however clarify DCX’s thinking behind creating the 2006 Dodge Charger. First off, let me say that ... Read More

Re: Ordered a Charger R/T $1000 below MSRP [2000rt1]
Congrratulations! But I wasn't aware any Chargers were in the showrooms... Did you test drive the car? Which sound system are you getting? Which engine comes with the R/T? Who is your Dodge Dealer? Which City? Regardless, best of luck with it...Definately the hottest car for 2006!

FWD vs RWD
Hi, gbrozen. It’s RobinT again. You are correct and thank you for the clarification. It is these very principles however, that are the foundation for DCX’s enhancements to the 2006 Dodge Charger. We appreciate all comments and feedback.

Re: FWD vs RWD [robint]
HI Robin, Just wanted to make one small adjustment to one of your statements: "The 2006 Dodge Charger has a near 50/50 weight distribution meaning the force pushing down on the tires shifts from the front to the rear." I think what you mean to say is that the weight shifts from the front to the rear upon acceleration, which, frankly, is true of every car and has nothing to do ... Read More

FWD vs RWD
Hi, it’s RobinT from the Dodge Information Center again and thanks for letting me jump in. You all make good points especially with regards to RWD in extreme weather, but there have been several technological advancements in recent years. First there is weight transfer. The 2006 Dodge Charger has a near 50/50 weight distribution meaning the force pushing down on the tires shifts from the front to the rear. Then there’s ... Read More

RWD vs. Front Wheel Drive
Hey, my name is Robin T. I am a marketing representative with the Dodge Information Center. Glad to see that you guys are impressed with the exterior appearance of the 2006 Dodge Charger. I noticed your discussion regarding front wheel drive vs. rear wheel drive, and was wondering if it would be okay for me to join in. I’m heading out for the evening, but I will check in tomorrow...

Some people just can't be satisfied
The last Dodge Daytona was a 2.2L FWD G-body, that made better 1/4 mile times falling from an airplane. I am having a hard time believing they did as good a job as they have with the new Charger. Sure, we may like it better with only 2 doors, but a simple fact that DCX has learned is that, in their case anyway, coupes don't sell. My sources tell me that ... Read More

New Charger
Chrysler/Dodge has taken a lot of heat for making the Charger a 4 door. But they are profitable, and I think they have a plan. Dieter Zetsche has said that they are planning to launch 16 new models before the end of 2006. If that mix for the LX platform is sport wagon (Magnum), 4 door (Charger), then maybe an LX 2 door Mustang chaser (Challenger?) is in the works for ... Read More

2006 Charger to be auctioned on eBay
DaimlerChrysler will auction off the first production 2006 Dodge Charger on eBay along with the fake NASCAR body shell that was lifted off the car during its Detroit Auto Show introduction earlier this month.

no title
Well the more I hear about the new "Charger", the more I hate it. Like I said before, I own three REAL Chargers, a '66 with a 440, a '67 with a 383, and a '68 R/T. The only Charger in my mind that has ever been truly and fully entitled to wear the Charger nameplate, is the 1966. After that, they gained a few little cool things ... Read More

Gentlemen
Rik4, Charger, Dakota Don, and the rest of the guys from the chat room, I say thank you. I now know that I am not crazy.

In fact, Mr. Brown sounded like he was simply reciting the press release. (BOT) I ... Read More

Re: The Dodge Crew should be ashamed [dustyk]
Yes You are correct the Charger was a legend for a number of reasons. NOT one of those reasons was that it had 4 doors. ALL chargers regardless of what kind of crap they turned into in the 80's were still 2 DOORS! (except maybe the omni but that wasn't worthy of the Charger name either) And yes I have to agree that most of what Chrysler has put out over ... Read More

Re: Who cares what this vehicle is called? [alpha01]

Re: Dodge Charger for 2006 [kirstie_h]
The Charger sets back auto engineering about 35 years. It is nothing more than a circa 1969 gas guzzling, rear drive V8, station wagon.
