2006 Dodge Charger


Recommended Posts

Dodge aims to again recreate some of the company's early muscle-car magic conjured by the Charger name. The Charger is expected to enter showrooms in the spring of 2005. True to its power image, it will carry with it the much-vaunted, 340-hp Hemi engine under the hood as an option. Its base engine is expected to be a 3.5-liter V6 making 250 horsepower. Stay tuned for the complete AutoWeek Charger story coming soon.

What are your first impressions of the new charger?

the only thing mustangy about it is the lower portion of the front bumper and the line it makes. everything else kinda looks like a bigger version of the stratus. Look at the line rigt above the real wheel, thats the only thing about it that makes it look like a charger.

sorry but i own a 72 charger back in Cali and that is ugly.

where the hell is the chrome on todays cars? Man the newer they get the uglier they are, and im not even gonna go there with all these tricked out pokemon cars running the streets.

There is no way they can make it the way it use it, or even come close, the bhp, the look and just the style of the old school car was just awesome. I still fancy one of those, but this new one looks more luxury then for what they want it to be. The older model was just a dirty mean looking car, this has nothing compared to it. They shouldve done what the others did with the mustang, and made a similar body but with more curves. I for one dont like this one....

Sorry but thats a load of crap.

The new Mustang and GT40 incorporate styling elements of the original whilst bringing something seriously modern to the way they look - and whilst I am quite honestly not a big fan of modern American cars, I love them.

But this charger... it just looks like a slightly tweaked 300C - and that really isn't anything to be proud of. Plus its going to be another bag of over engineered and 'safe' tat whilst the original Charger was just a brutal brutal machine.

Not keen at all.

    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
