Magnum SRT-8 Unveiled in LA!

"Chrysler Shows Magnum SRT-8, Viper Coupe

The Dodge Magnum may have revived the station wagon in American minds, and its chopped and channelled look sets a tone for hard-edged performance. But until now, the Magnum has had to wait while the Chrysler 300C SRT-8 sedan has stolen all the big HEMI-charged performance thunder. All that changes when Chrysler shows off the Dodge Magnum SRT-8 at the L.A. Auto Show. Last summer, Trevor Creed, Chrysler's vice president of Design, said that the Magnum begged for a lot of power and SRT handling. It gets it in the form of the 6.1-liter HEMI, a version of the 5.7-liter engine that sports 85 more horsepower than the "base" HEMI. The SRT8 should be able to do 0-60 mph runs in just 5 seconds and 60-0 mph braking in approximately 110 feet."

I should be 2 or 3 grand less than the 300C SRT-8 around $36,995. It will be a 2006 model.

I love the look of the magnum... but in those pics it's sitting way too high IMO. The wheels look great, there isn't a *ton* of wheel gap, but overall the car just sits too high... it's not aggressive enough for what it is.

It really does haul at both ends! I think THAT'S the SRT version for me.

Thanks for posting the pics. I agree the car still needs to be lowerd but it does have sweet looking wheels.
