Like the Chrysler 300/300C, the Charger features a 250-horsepower V-6 engine or a 340-horsepower Hemi engine, connected to 18-inch rear wheels powered by the famed Chrysler rear wheel drive platform. Chrysler executives claim that it boasts a "near" 50/50 weight distribution. Technology on the Charger is also the same as the Chrysler 300/300C, with a Multiple Displacement System (MDS) that deactivates four cylinders when needed. Chrysler people claim that this system saves up to 20 percent in fuel economy, a savings sure to be gobbled up by bright-eyed Boomers and NASCAR Dads, striving hard to lay down a nice patch. The 2006 Dodge Charger will be available this summer. Pricing has not yet been announced.
