In the early 2000s, Dodge resurrected the Charger name for use on a full-size sedan. Enthusiasts wailed that the car strayed too far from the original model’s legacy, but the automaker helped quiet some critics with a high-performance SRT8 model. It featured a massive Hemi V8 engine, made a thundering noise, and could outrun almost everything on the street. The engine, also used in the Chrysler 300 SRT8, was the most powerful V8 used by the automaker to date, and overpowered all of the original Charger’s powertrain options. Today, Dodge jams a V8 into almost everything it makes, but the Hemi move was a big deal at the time.
