test drove in an SRT8

[lieu910]

This was the Magnum SRT8 that I drove. Actually thinking of trading the R/T for it.

First impression is the car pulls really hard and the trans is really dialed in. Still wish a manual was available. I've seen a couple guys in the 12's with them and that performance would cost me some serious coin in upgrades on the R/T. Handling seems very tight, great brembo brakes.

Only thing nagging at me is that I know there are bigger and better things in the pipeline at D/C. I'll post a pic if I pull the trigger.

A friend recently purchased a SRT8 Magnum and ran a 13.02 at 107MPH.

Yes it was and I believe it weighed in at 4600.

I believe the SRT8 Charger will be out before too long.
