We're still wrapping our heads around the appearance of the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/charger+srt8">2012 Dodge Charger SRT8</a>, but we don't need even a second thought regarding its performance specifications. Just about anything sporting a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 putting out 465 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque will find a welcome bay in our garages, and this Charger is no exception.<br />
<br />
Yes, the five-speed automatic is a bit of a disappointment in this day and age, but something tells us a few 12-second trips down the good ol' 1320 ought to ease that bit of pain, as would an autobahn blast at the Charger SRT8's 175 miles per hour top speed. If those tantalizing little tidbits are enough to whet your appetite for more, we highly suggest you <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/09/chicago-2011-2012-dodge-charger-srt8/">click here</a> to read the rest of the impressive specifications.<br />
