I recently took the Durango SRT for a test drive, and it blew me away! The handling is superb for an SUV, and the acceleration is unmatched in its class. Plus, the aggressive styling turns heads everywhere I go. It's the perfect blend of muscle car performance and SUV practicality.

Owned a ‘23 DDHC and it was insane. The whine of the super charger was epic. So why did I sell it? The super high theft rate here in the USA.

[@V.stones]

The best advice that i learned from Manny Koshbin is don't buy a Super or Hyper car until you have 10 times the price of it in your Bank account, when you purchase a Super car you add a car to your garage but u add also maintenance and unexpected damages that can happen in future

[@camela8445Mar]

I understand Manny advice but that's overkill. If most people did that - they would never own one. The 10-15% rule is enough - especially if you make even more with multiple streams of income. My investment properties pay for my exotics cars. It's many different things you can do to afford easily and responsibly. You don't need a million cash to afford a cheap 100k car, My first exotic was 100k put down 20k- financed 80k. Then traded up to more expensive cars. Now I have an Aventador, so it's not hard at all, Especially if you are making 20-25k plus a month with little to no debt with multiple streams and assets that produce income.

[@camela8445Mar]

If you got 10x the price sitting in your bank account... you already making bad financial decision

[@vincezab1]

The Durango was among the last vehicles designed at Daimler Chrysler before Mercedes left. It is based on the ML series SUV, but bigger. One example of attention to detail is that it has the battery under the passengers seat for better weight distribution, and at least some models had a perfect 50/50 weight distribution (not sure what that huge engine up front does to the stats on this one). It is a bit of an outlier, in a good way, from traditional US SUV design.

The Durango is such an amazing SUV. Hands down this third-row beast is such a powerhouse with beauty written all over it.

I have a vision of a fully caged version of this with six bucket seats - ALL with individual harness bars for true six point harnesses, but still with enough space to get into and out of all three rows, some GIGANTIC carbon-carbon brakes, carbon fiber wheels, slicks, and some mean-ass underbody and active aero. It's just begging to be turned into something even more insane and it makes perfect sense, somehow.
