Chrysler may want to give the new Dodge Dart a well-accessorized introduction, but other product lines are getting some welcome Mopar-style attention as well. The only problem is that the best part on display for the Charger Redline 426 is the one you're not really allowed to use. More »

Dodge has taken the Charger R/T and, to use a verb coined by Mopar CEO Pietro Gorlier, "Moparized" the hell out of it. The result of this brutal Moparization is, in its most-Moparized form, a 590 hp monster that's not street-legal. More »

Police clocked a "Dukes of Hazzard" style Dodge Charger at over 110 miles an hour in Houston, leading to a high speed chase at times topping 120 miles an hour. The chase didn't end at the side of the road, but in the suspect's apartment, with him hiding in the shower. More »

In 1971, NASCAR banned Chrysler's winged cars, forcing teams like Bobby Isaac's K&K to park their fastest rides. K&K owner Nord Krauskopf decided to take the team's Charger Daytona to Bonneville for one last romp. They'd end up setting 28 world records. More »

Every gearhead's dream of participating in a proper police chase involving Hemi-powered cruisers is a bit more difficult today, as Dodge is pulling 20,283 Chargers and Magnums equipped with both the Police Package and column shifter off the beat.

Let's say you have a Dodge Charger but find the performance, style and two superfluous doors just don't suit you. Perhaps you should take your problem car to Force Performance in Miami, Florida, as they've decided to chop off the rear doors, lay down some coupe styling and perform a modest power upgrade to the Hemi V8 via twin turbos and a supercharger. The Tricharger borrows some of its styling from the 70's-era Chargers, like the scallops on the doors and the revised nose end. But ith a monster mill like that under the hood, it doesn't actually matter what the thing looks like. We just want big, smokey, monster burnouts. More »

Please, if you have a Dodge Charger SE, never ask "Does the hood from a Charger SRT8 fit on my car?" Yes, the hood should bolt on just fine, but that's not the question you should be asking yourself. First off, why do you want the hood from an SRT8? If it's for the big scoop, you can get superficial aggression a lot cheaper than the $1500 an SRT8 hood will run you. If it's performance you're after, the SRT8's hood scoop probably won't do your V6 any good, so why not spend money on some actual upgrades like a simple aftermarket cold-air intake? We know: This scenario is played out constantly, not just on Chargers, but everything from Lancers sporting Evo wings to stock Caddies with blingin' V-Series grilles. So who are the biggest poseurformance culprits in your neck of the woods? [ChargerForums] More »

An alert reader over at Carspyshots grabbed these photos of what's presumably the 2009 Dodge Charger showing off its, uh, minor exterior refresh. Taillights FTW! It looks like Dodge has added a little raised portion down by the turn signal lens...and that's about it. We can't see the sides or front, so no details on changes there, but chances are the biggest alterations are on the inside, since that's where Chrysler has been focusing its development dollars as of late. More as we get it. [Carspyshots] More »

We enjoyed our time with the Dodge Charger Police Car by pretending we were the Blues Brothers, but we're not so sure that's what Kuwait has in mind for the 150 cop-spec Chargers they've ordered. They seem pretty serious about it, even having officials sent over to inspect the cars at Chrysler's headquarters in Auburn Hills, MI. The Charger is actually a best-seller for Chrysler in the Middle East, but why does Kuwait really want the cars? More »
