    bought an SRT8

    Haven't posted since I sold the GTO.

    Bought an SRT8 recently. Very impressed so far. Had considered the Trailblazer SS, but the SRT8 impressed me. Could not find a Jeep SRT8 to test, so I bought the Magnum SRT8. All the room we need really. Brembo brakes, Goodyear F1's, some nice stuff. The motor is really strong - night and day different than the 5.7 hemi. Top speed is 170 mph

    If you need a roomy zoomy ride it's a good choice. Let the mods begin.

    High 12's low 13's in the 1/4 - top speed is 170, so yeah I'd say it lives up to it.

    Sticker was 41k (it's completely loaded). I paid 37k, but only because my brother-in law works for the dealership.

    nice ride. we just got done fixing a 300csrt8 here at my shop. guy was on the way home from the dealer when he was rearended by his employee that dropped him off at the dealership. . nice ride, and do you know you cannot set the cruise at 170??. Dieter Zeitche (sp) the head of Diamler Chrysler has a 300CSRT8 in Germany and his chaffeur complained that the cruise would not stay on at 170. Dieter had a reprogammed bcm sent to him so the cruise would stay on. Man if I'm in the back and the cruise is on at 170mph

    Nice choice, I'm trying to talk my friend into one, he is married and is considering an SUV (OH NO!) and I'm trying to convince him you can go fast and still have a practical vehicle. I was behind one in traffic once and I liked the sound of the exhaust.

    too bad you couldn't find one of those Jeep SRT8's. I think those are way cool.
    To think a Jeep Grand Cherokee can do the quarter in the 13's, that's just amazing..

    Yeah the Magnums remind me of modern-day Nomads.

    I think the front of the Magnum is the sharpest of the three LX cars.

    Yeah, but I got my SUV used for $8,000. I sure as hell wouldn't want the kids doing what they do (trust me, it can get bad), plus loading the sleds and other playthings into a $41,000 vehicle when they're dirty!

    Congratulations on the car....that's one mean mofo of a station wagon!

    GSM motorsports has a supercharger kit/coilover kit/headers that'll bring you to over 500 RWHP and make it handle wonderfully. I'm seriously considering a 300C SRT8...

    That's cool. Those are some serious machines. Chrysler has a home run with these Hemi cars.
