2012 Dodge Charger First Impressions

Not only is the new 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 more powerful than the last go-fast rendition, but according to preliminary test data, it's more efficient, too. The new SRT8 Charger's improved efficiency is achieved in part by the addition of Chrysler's adaptive valve exhaust system and Fuel Saver technology.

Suspension tweaks include hydraulic bushings instead of hard urethane, which absorbed the rough-aggregate sections of the test road quite well. On the handling track, the AWD-equipped models (available as an option on all but the base SE) were sure-footed, but the extra weight resulted in more lethargic performance and steering than the RWD Chargers.
