Charger SRT-8 That thing got a Hemi? Indeed, a 6.1L Hemi that is. The Dodge Charger SRT-8 pounds the pavement with severe power.

Default Can a SRT-8 be a daily driver

Just as the title says is an SRT-8 good as a daily driver. I mean will the car last putting 15-20k miles on it a year.

Thats the response I was waiting for . Cause I'm almost in the same boat I have a 06 R/T that I got in August of 06 and put 18k on it already. And the reason I want an SRT is for the fear factor of them. Almost ever guy unless he is an idiot know's that when they pull up next to a SRT that the car means business. Was thinking of lease one for 2 years or so.

I drive the hell outta mine including through brutal winters. It's not a DeLorean... it's made to drive.

Absolutely! The Charger isChrysler's full-sized car platform, meant to operate for the long haul. Most of the taxi's here in town are 300's and they seem to chug along just fine, I can't see any of the SRT enhancements affecting long-term driveability except for the higher cost of tires/brakes/gas, and perhaps your insurance rates with the way that right pedal works

My SRT-8 is technically my "daily driver", but I'm lucky to live less than .5 miles from work.

So would you say that a good set of snow tires takes care of winter time.
