this is the car that started the 392, Hellcat, Demon....
Yup, these young punk ass mutha fuckas better pay homage to the 6.1
Manjatt i think it was the 300c srt8 back in 2006
arielatom03 no it was definitely charger. 300 doesn’t have hellcat or demon
arielatom03 nobody really fucked with the 300 srt8 mainly just the 300 hemi
@@sleepsbanginxv3st921 the srt8 is also a hemi
I had a 2007 SRT8 Charger, stock, in 2010 after my first deployment. I did 156 on some mediocre tires. It was so solid, steady, and confidence inducing I took both hands off the wheel for a second. WONDEROUS CAR!
Still my favorite charger
kingjoe26 i agree with you 👍🏻
Just when i thought i loved the 392 better, this thing look and behaves menacing
💯
They can throw everything they want at us hellcat,demon,red eye, and the hellephant...
But this will always be the best charger in my eye
Proud owner of a 07 charger srt8 all stock with only 240 miles on it
I love this car its the best model to me!
Yea me too I have 2008 3.5
I just got the srt8 i haven’t been able to drive it yet because i don’t have winter tires and i don’t want to risk anything, I am so excited tmr as im getting my winter tires
13.7 @ 98 mph. motor week tested a 2006 srt8 and did a 13.4 at 104 mph
he also said 5.2 0-60 which many people get way better times
Ya my 07 300c with a 5.7 can trap 102 mph
@@zenonchlan1976 ive gotten my daytona r/t charger to trap 101 at 13.9 soo whoever tested this srt8 needs to move to a state with a lower elevation lmao
This video made me want a SRT8 charger so much more than i already did so i got one. Traded it in for a scatpack. Watched this video again & now i just bought another SRT8 charger lol. Love these cars!
Damn that's hella sick bro! This comment made my year! That was a smart move. I bought a 10' back in 13' with only 18k miles. It's the best car I have ever owned and I would never sell it even if I became the richest man.
Ever since the movie " Street Kings" this car has been my fav with the aggressive hood and looks. A pure classic thst will never get old
According to the EVIC 0-60 timer on my 2007 Charger SRT8, my best time so far has been 5.01 seconds w/ TC on. I regularly hit 5.1-5.2... and I'm at 5,000ft elevation in Colorado! But my car has 295's in the back. Also have Airaid CAI, Diablosport 91 tune, and Pedal Commander.
Unfortunately I had to sell my 2007 SRT8 recently. It is actually a great car to drive. Very fast but also comfortably. I already regret selling it.
Sell to me my friend
@@maxdemps6504 I sold it 9 years ago. Lol!
Aww. Man ok
Lmao 😂 about the the steering wheel tho I love it ....
i have always loved this design of the charger but that damn steering wheel is to damn big and do anyone know how to swap it.
Well everyone is different in size sooo
U need get use to it or pull up
@@maxdemps6504 i have had my car 11 years so yeah im more than used to it.
@@kelinjohnson7421 ok I want it bad
Dude...I always felt the same. I purchased a 2007 Super bee #805 even though I really hated that steering wheel. I have to say after the first drive my immediate thought was....'this thing is not as big as it looks in EVERY photo'. It's really fine.
Ever since I got my 06 charger rt when I was 16. I’ve made it my goal to work up to a srt8 same gen. Since I sadly had to sell my rt😞
Its a family car that's fucking raw enough to be the star in Fast&Furious 5!
Its not a fucking family sedan....okay???? Yes you can fit a "whole family " in there but saying its a family sedan just ruins the title of the car. It just a four dour car thats a fucking monster and pretty luxurious back in 2006 -2010 compared to other muscle. Im getting one this SUMMER!
Lol, the non-srt 5.7L chargers are capable of doing 13.7s in the 1/4 mile at over 100mph, even the first gens. The SRT8s with the 6.1L were tested number of times and did 0-60 in under 5s, quarter mile in the low 13s at 108-109mph. In fact even today's 3.6L V6 chargers and 300s with the 8-speed were tested and they trapped almost 98mph.
I just bought a new 2016
Dodge Charger SXT V6 and I like the new styling, and even enjoy the giant presence I make when driving in Seattle, this V6 is still entertaining to drive fast. I know it's just under 300 hp but the 8 speed just makes it all work. I believe all I need to do is change out the rear diff gear to maybe a 3.71 and that alone will take a full second off the 6.5 second 0-60. not bad for a V6 Tank.
I own a 06 Daytona and while I love it. In no way will a stock 5.7 do a 13.7......
I need the 2008 or 2009 srt dodge charger I'm still looking for it cuz I love this car
I just picked one up exactly like this one
My 08 SRT trips the 0-60 in 4.2 and 13.09 1/4 time @ 110.6mph (On Track) ESP off with just a AEM cai, Dynatech LT headers and a Diablo 93 tune. That 1/4 time is spinning to the 60ft mark on street tires and 4660 pounds on the scale w/me in it. With a pair of stickies out back should be an easy 12.9 inthe 1/4 ! VERY IMPRESSED with my Four Door Bore!! :)
Damn bro car only 4100 lbs stock, u make it 4600?!
This guy was pretty much saying how bad this car is in the nicest way possible
He forgot the magnum! !!
yup, he did forget the Magnum SRT.
Rip magnum there happy
He did mention 2005 he might of ment the magnum, because the charger came back in 06
yea i know, but they are in the same category of V8 saloons...
its a shame you cant get these in the UK...i'd be much tempted to have a go
I love my srt 8 charger
Me too
Still have mine!
Just got mine 💪
These have become surprisingly affordable since the 2012's came out. I think I am going to pick up an 08-10 (those have the nicer interior) for a daily driver in the spring.
Great video
@pwrktg I've unbunched my panties but still can't get this thing to go any faster. Maybe the data from the Charger's performance gauges was inaccurate. Well, it's a moot point now as the all-new 2011 Charger is here.
Now they put this hood back on the new chargers
Its Street & Racing Technology not Street Racing Technology, the & makes a big difference. But the Charger SRT8 is one of the baddest modern muscle out there.
This is what I'm talking about!
Will never get rid of mine
Good to know, just picked 1 up to go along with my toxic orange 2011
Niiice bro, keep em alive
I'm working hard to own this car by next year.
looks great in silver
i have a silver one
love my grand cherokee And charger Srt8
Bmackins94 must be nice!
what are the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times then ?
Is this one better than the 2010 SRT charger?
those numbers are extremely impressive considering it weighs over 2 tons...
I need to figure out what my uncle is doing wrong in his SRT8..he took me for a ride in it and I insisted he do the 0-60 timer..he pulled off 7.8 seconds. Pedal to the floor from stop..not even a chirp from the tires.
super car like bro
I been looking for this car im buying it
i love that car. I wish it was cheaper though. :(
himynameislj your wish became true
Got mine for $16k
Don't have the srt model buy if it handles anything like the sxt then you'll love only one problem with it is that I feel like I need to ride the brake earlier then i would if i was in another car when coming to a stop light
Why would someone buy a gay ass V6 model
@Bulgdoom a bmw would be nice, but where i live, u have to travel for them to be worked on!
@bondage2012 Thats actually good to know. I've been looking at getting a new or newer sports car and the SRT-8 is one i'm considering. Thanks for the info.
how much is this car now
Where can i find this car this year !!! I love it
Rigth I. Looking for it too need 2009 set with everything new before I take off
car gurus is the best way
Ha, I don't know that you've actually shopped then. I picked my 2007 for 23,500 back in 2009 with 12k miles on it. You can't even find one close to that price with that many miles on it now.
This is like an over powered party barge.
Imagine this thing on chrome colour
I ran 13.7 @102mph 1/4 in my R/T with few mods...
I really want that car
@Bulgdoom 135i isnt a family car now is it
DAAMN! This car is worth more than the 2010 chevy camaro....
Why would you buy this instead of the BMW 135i? Its in the same price range, has 300 HP Straight 6 3.0L twin turbo engine (perhaps the best commercial engine), does 0-60 faster, handles better, much better refinement, gets way better fuel economy, and its sexy as fuck in its own way. The only thing I like about the Charger is its mean looks, but nothing else.
Better cat overall what the hell you talking about?!
I don't understand how dodge justifies charging so much for these cars.
I love my charger but with the weight imo I think they should of done this car with at least 435hp and the 392 with 500hp love dodge tho they make great looking sedan muscle cars
i love the charger
Yea that keep me on the road trip
@TheDarkKnight0001 not over here it dosent...i've actually been asked if its the new honda accord...thats how inconspicuous it is
so noone knows what happened when you shoot past them at 100mph
09? I gotta go with the 07
Love cars
13.7 at 98mph ....Where were you in another planet to test it?These cars run 13.1 or 13.2 all day at 107 to 108 mph all stock.
@zoyborg yea, but it's probably the 2006, it's still beast though
Is it worth it?
no
@TheCompanyApple Dude, 16.4 = 16 cylinders and 4 turbos
i belive it's a 7 litre car
6.1 dude, thats only for rich people, i'm a middle class american and i have a 3.0 buick lacrosse and it's killing me with gas, lol, i dream about this car, but 6.1 and price at over 40K is ridiculous
Either that or a Super sports sedan.
Does any one knows where i can buy that hood with the scoop.
Zizko5k PR in the internet
ebay
@camirocz Motortrend & CarandDriver always record faster 0-60,0-100, & 1/4 mile times. Other magazines & critics not as popular or ar lesser known post slower times, don't be surprise. I guess MT & CaD are better drivers, hire pro drivers, or get paid to lie. 98 mph with a 425 h/p car doesn't seem right. Your numbers are right on point.
The killer looks & sound make this car desirable. But weights to much & sips to much gas, city/highway 13/19. The fuel mileage is the same as a full size pickup weighing 5-6 thousand pounds. Highway mileage should at least get 22. The Mustang, Camaro, & Corvette get low to mid 20s. But u do get a lot of leg room, cargo & luggage space unlike other sport cars.
Shadowhawk26, true but sporty, classy, and sexy as hell!
@tastemystinkhole I achieved a 5.18 second run with my car and I had two passengers with me. Yes it's completely stock. these guys are just sitting way higher above sea level than me or the boys at motortrend which makes a massive impact on your power and speed.
aww i want a car soo freaking bad but my family has very bad credit awwwwwwwww
O'yeah! It has 115,000+ miles
@vinylcollector08
Mmmm how do u figure the handling is better exactly? Have some figures? Mercedes are known more as a luxury brand and then for performance on some models. You can have the best suspension in the world, but if its overly heavy, big, and tall, it ain't gonna handle well.
I would buy it =
Mean LOOK.
I'm trying to save up for this Gen Charger. $5000-7000 dollars for the V6 models. better MPG.... ☑25 MPG
Ha i get 23.4 MPG highway in my 2010 Charger SRT8 with simply a cold air intake & diablosport tuner. At least try to get the R/T lol
+galaxy star Yea I hear you on getting the v8. My mind is always bouncing from one car to the next. it would be hard to decide which vehicle to really decide on based on affordability. I'm not a person who spends much money on a vehicle.
+Redline Revs i just sold my charger R/T Road and Track performance package for $7,000 clean title. so im sure you can get a R/T in good condition for about the same price if not a little lower. my first charger was the V6 model it was a 2007 & i spent years wishing I got a rt because of many reasons. even if you gotta wait a little longer to find a good one at least try to get the rt VERY fun car to drive.
+galaxy star so what are driving now that so sold the Charger bro?
+Redline Revs a 2010 SRT8 the last charger was a 2006
@GPatuleiaMarques that's depressing
i never saw an srt8 on the roads, mostly r/t
You’ll see mine coming through now... 🤗
@jsj85 I never said the charger was an embarrassment, it's a great vehicle and I would love to own one. And what is the definition of " full size" sedan anyway? Look at the ford taurus, it even offers all wheel drive, and it probably comes rear wheel standard. As for chevy, I don't care. Do some research before you start trolling the comments. And learn how to spell.
Fastest Dodge ever made
@yangmcfrisked226 those numbers are well short of What the car do. I previously had a 2009 tored charger srt8. I easily ran 13.3 in a 1/4. And trap speed over 106. So how he didn't crack a trap speed of 100 is beyond me. It's on my channel
who came here after fast five
Mopar or no car !
its actually known not to be accurate at all. So yes your right. At 98mph is horribly slow for this car. So will blame that on the cars gauges and not your driving how is that.
How much is the car nowadays
Texas made I've seen them for $13,000 and under. Even after 10 years, this car is still awesome.
Nigel B. Thanks
depends on the year & miles. 2009 or 2010 with good miles looking at like 17K to about 20K great condition & etc
@Paulpunkrocks they dont drive the srt8
@bondage2012 Forgive me but, I've heard "peanuts' used in many ways, but not in this way. I dont understand what you're saying and how it relates to what I said.
@jsj85 Dude, get a clue. Look at how many ford escape, explorers, f150 trucks, and fusion sedans are out on the road. If anything it's the opposite, I don't see many dodges out on the road other than the charger, and a challenger once in a blue moon, which is a shame because dodge makes some really nice vehicles. Anyways, don't say something ridiculous like that.
It can actually hit zero to sixty in 4.7 seconds bone stock.
@MrOzryel Its a 8 litre W16. So 16 cylinders in rows of 4 and I'm sure this kids dad has one lol
well duh but thats a luxury car thats also worth 20,000 and its not better at everything. The lexus will make you look like a rich snob and this one does much better burnouts
i hate [olice love this car and i drive a charger and it is an awsome car
its a nice car...but
the Lexus ISF is just better at everything
F1 Supercar tires are garbage btw.
Took them off my Super Bee immediately. #805
WOOO Nascar!
@ditimedia93 Feels great!
@z00h Go drive your V-Tech
The people that do these 0-60 and quarter miles can't drive for shit. I can push my 2012 hemi charger to a 5.1 0-60.....
hows the ride and shit at 120 mph??
Great car but suspension is rubbish
Arif Sami coming from a 2007 RT owner i can second this
