Never owned or drove one, but it always intrigued being with it's good looks and very acceptable street performance. Another Chrysler win at the time.

Big time. I remember when it dropped.

Handsome, affordable and RWD with a V8.

Ford and GM had nothing.

So true, Jack. The predecessor to the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8! 4-door styling and street cruising fun with the family.

They were so much fun to drive. We bought an 06 back then as an R&D car and I got to drive it pretty regularly. The 6.1 was a beast, especially for the time. Would light the tires up from any roll under 40 MPH, tons of fun.

FWIW these are MUST tune cars. The factory torque management is constantly keeping things from doing what you want. Tuning wakes them up big time.

I'm a fan of the 300 SRT 8s, I feel like they didn't get the same love as the other SRT 8s of the time.

They’re such a nice car. My bestfriend who owns the C7 Z06 owns a 2012 SRT8 300. So must run to drive.
