2012 Dodge Charger SRT: Review notes

If you give in to the temptation of sport mode--and honestly, who among us won't?--you will go to jail. Do not pass Go. Actually, do pass Go--sideways at about 140 mph. You're getting arrested anyway, so what the hell.
Sneeze? That's some wheelspin. Left turn at part throttle? That's a powerslide. Fortunately the violence of the powertrain is reasonably tranquilized by big Brembo brakes, but the whole experience has all the subtlety of a pit bull lunging against its chain, only to be tasered by someone from animal control.
Eschewing any Q-ship aesthetic, SRT adorns the Charger with a full complement of machismo outside and in, extending to a leather-and-suede interior that's as red as a baboon's behind and conveys approximately the same sentiment: "Step aside: Bad mofo coming through." Combined with engine-turned instrument trim, the inside is a deliciously 1970s throwback, needing only a CB radio and a mustachioed pilot to kick dirt on Pontiac's grave.

So what to make of it? At the risk of offending legions of enthusiasts, the whole Charger SRT thing seems a bit ridiculous--almost ostentatious, like a Hummer H1 Alpha or a Gatling gun. It's kind of neat to have, but what the hell are you going to do with it?
Then again, if you trade in a Ram on one, at least you'll still have a place to hang your TruckNutz.

2012 Dodge Charger SRT: Review notes

With all due respect toward the fine engineers at SRT, the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT should come with a helmet and a diaper for its proud new owner, and said owner should have to produce a certificate of racing-school completion to claim the keys. This monster is almost totally unusable on public roads at anything approaching even a fraction of its capabilities.
Sure, the car will burble along on the freeway with nary a complaint, but I dare you to try that for more than five, maybe 10 minutes before you spot a slot in traffic and are compelled by some primitive cranial impulse to mat the pedal. You will not be able to resist invoking "Star Trek"-style warp speed once you've tasted it.
If you leave the Charger SRT in standard mode thinking you'll just have a little low-key fun, you'll be buying rear brakes in a week: The traction control system ends up working harder than the engine.
