Dodge Squeaks More Power from Awesome HEMI V8
"Go Man Go!" metallic orange paint? "Top Banana" yellow? And what's with the matte black stripes and '70s style R/T badges?

It's quite clear that Dodge wants its motorsport and muscle car heritage brought to the forefront as part of its campaign to sell the new 2006 Charger, as if it will need anything more than the HEMI badge on its flanks and the promise of Chrysler Group's competent Mercedes-Benz derived LX architecture.
It's also easy to see that the folks on the Ram brand's product development team are having the time of their lives, conjuring up two hot versions of what is expected to be an upcoming best-seller.

The Dodge Charger Daytona R/T, either dressed in flamboyant yellow or outrageous orange, was part of the Chrysler Group display at last month's 2005 Chicago Auto Show.
Being that this is Chrysler Group we're talking about, these aren't merely mock-up teasers for muscle car fans to drool over, but rather real limited production models that will be available soon after the model goes on sale this summer.
"Go Man Go!" metallic orange and its associated stripe package is similar to a paint scheme used on the 1970 Dodge Charger, while "Top Banana" is another high-impact heritage paint name that will be sure to pull eyeballs.
