SRT-8. More to come?

I had made a post a few weeks ago about the “Super Bee” coming back and mentioned that the “Muscle Cars” will be making a comeback. Well the SRT-8 has been known for some time now but official stats were not available. Today I found a link to the specifications of the SRT-8: 425HP and 420lbs-TQ.

They are making an SRT-6 Crossfire, which will basically be the engine from the new SLK-55 AMG dumbed down a few HP

I love the looks of the Chrysler 300. It's half luxury, half muscle car. (Not really designed for cornering.)

I'd consider buying one in a few years after the new design has proved it is not prone to problems. I think since Mercede's involvement in Dodge and Chyrsler they have significantly improved their line-up.

If these cars can start to prove their reliability I would definately consider buying one.

power is very nice but, 14mpg? wow.. thats pretty bad.. don't really care too much for the looks and ever since my concorde I haven't had any trust in Chrysler/Dodge..
I would definitly test drive one.. (not with intent to buy though)'

EDIT: and of course not just 14mpg, 14mpg on PREMIUM!

Impressive stats but I'm not really into American muscle - bad on gas and they're juggernauts - just a gigantic heep of metal being propelled in a straight line at high speeds - I'll have to go with Zzyzx on this one - I'll take my lightweight civic over a chubby muscle car any day
