Every auto show has at least a few underlying themes, and the 2005 New York International Auto Show is no exception. More than a few of the vehicles we've seen look like automotive versions of NFL linemen - they're big, they're powerful - you really don't wanna mess with 'em. That should be expected, considering how so many consumers are clamoring for horsepower. But, they also want a car that looks powerful, and the 2006 Dodge Charger SRT-8 delivers (aside from the wimpy tail end). Thanks to the SRT suspension, the ride height has been lowered by half of an inch. Residing over the Hemi is a functional hood scoop, and the front fascia includes additional air outlets for cooling the front brakes. Connecting the Charger SRT-8 to the road are 20-inch Goodyear tires that wrap five-spoke alloy wheels, and the rear end has been altered a bit with the addition of a decklid spoiler and a lower diffuser.
