My dad bought almost this exact magnum new back then. When I got my learners permit he taught me how to drive in this SRT8. I felt like a badass and king of the road behind the wheel xD. Years later it had to be sold to pay for unexpected medical costs. Thus it was sold at a used car place, then bought then shipped to the lower 48. I am now 28 and hearing this exhaust note again made me tear up just a bit. If I could ever find my dad's old SRT8 Magnum again I will buy it and give it back to its original owner.

I love my Magnum. I "only" have the AWD SXT with the 3.5l v6, but its a sweet cruiser. Kind of a boat. Actually not even kind of, it is a real land yacht in the tradition of old 70s and 80s boats. Not taking any hairpins in this baby that's for sure, and I even have SRT8 sway bars, brakes and more on mine. I bought a wrecked/totaled SRT8 a few years ago and cannibalized everything I could from it. Sold the engine and made a profit. The AWD is nice, it's surprisingly competent in poor road conditions, especially if you're used to driving a RWD Charger RT or SRT8 which are notoriously squirrely. The Magnum is very practical and not too bad on gas mileage considering how much it weighs ( gets 17/24). Honestly it feels like a low slung SUV without the ground clearance of an SUV. Good aftermarket too considering how many parts it shares with the Charger and other Chrysler products of the era.

Owner experience has been great until the evaporator starting leaking last month then you discover the dark side of Chrysler engineering. A complete tear down and removal of the instrument panel and dash pad is required, and removing the seats and steering column is also recommended to make things easier. Not a job for the faint of heart, you need a few days and lots of patience or very deep pockets and a trusted mechanic. The usual fight with stuck heater hoses, plastic retainers that break and one retainer nut that requires removal of the cabin filter box, wipers and cowl panel!

Dodge hit on a winner with the Magnum, built on the Mercedes platform with short front and rear overhang and aggressive styling, it was perfect for a hubby still trying to look cool, but needing space and 4 doors for momma's shopping and soccer practice. The Magnum was a casualty of the Mercedes-Chrysler divorce and was cancelled in 2008. Probably due to the propriety use of the Mercedes platform and other planning issues, as SUV's and trucks are the big profit makers for Chrysler. There are a bunch of guys out there modifying Magnums with Charger front ends etc., dreaming that Dodge will re-introduce it, but that will never happen, so if you can find one of those SRT AWD models, grab it and hang on, it will be a collector item in a few decades.

Well said. I’ve seen the renders of what a modern Magnum would look like utilizing the new Charger styling...and that would be a phenomenal car!

Never knew this impacted the 6.1 as much, but that’s certainly a know 5.7 issue.

I don’t believe they made any of the SRT8 vehicles in AWD. I have seen R/T AWD examples though.

Their appreciating values tell a different story. Though the modern Hemis have their share of issues, the 6.1 seems to be the tougher iteration.

I'm glad you think it looks cool bud, but let's all be real. The car's style is a cacophony of backwards boomer stereotypes of masculinity. It desperately grasps at performance in the way some 54 year old slob asks for the poor college girl behind the bar at Twin Peaks for her number. Dodge, like him, doesn't really care if it lands; it only takes one to say yes. The only reason I could drive one of these now is that its so comical as to be ironic.

My man, let’s get really real. You laugh mockingly at Mr. Gropey McGroperson as he lays down a sweet rubber patch while leaving the car show as you stroke your ironic hipster beard too enthusiastically…causing a few errant drops from your soy mocha latte to stain the upholstery of your JDM van. The Magnun SRT-8 is cool because it’s a wagon with a big ole slab of murican thunder under the hood. PS: Loved the Twin Peaks inclusion.
