Question of the Week: What is the Best Overall SRT Product for the Money?
When you ask pretty much anyone who is familiar with the SRT lineup which vehicle in the best, it is a good bet that most people would quickly bring up the mighty Viper. However, if we take that question a bit further and look at the overall functionality along with the price of each current Street and Racing Technology vehicle – things get a bit more complex. Based on that, we want to know which SRT model our members think is the best vehicle for the money with all things considered.
The Chrysler 300C and Dodge Charger SRT variants are pretty much identical in terms of performance capabilities but the Charger offers a lower price while the 300 offers a more luxurious feel. The Challenger offers the power of the SRT sedans with slightly less rear seating space (but still more than the competition) while also being the only SRT vehicle other than the Viper to offer a manual transmission. The Challenger is also the least expensive option in the SRT lineup. The SRT Jeep can be driven and driven hard in rain or shine, summer or winter and it will do so while towing up to 7,200 pounds. The Viper is the most expensive vehicle in the SRT lineup and has the least functionality but it is the most powerful naturally aspirated car in the industry today. Below are the basic specs of each SRT vehicle. Click here to head into the forum to vote for your favorite!
