Dodge Charger SRT8 2012 465 lb-ft of torque
I was impressed as hell with the new-for-2011 Dodge Charger, and I don't see how the SRT8 will be anything short of excellent. The old SRT8's overdose of V8 power made it easy to forget the Charger's problems, but on the new Charger, most of those problems are gone -- and the V8 in question is bigger and more powerful than ever, now up to 6.4 liters, 465 horsepower, and 465 lb-ft of torque. (I've sampled the new 6.4 HEMI in the 2011 Challenger, and it's wonderful.) And while paddle shifters and two-mode suspensions may not be cutting edge technology, it's nice to see them finally making their way to the Charger SRT8. Incidentally, for those who find the Dodge's styling a bit too over-the-top, Chrysler will also be offering an SRT8 version of the new 300.
