2006 Dodge Magnum SRT-8 Review

Meet the Dodge Magnum SRT-8, America's first race inspired full-size wagon. The Magnum SRT-8 is powered by a 6.1l Hemi V8 bumping out 425 hp. Stopping is brought courtesy of 14" Brembo brakes encased in 20" forged aluminum wheels that are wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires. All of this, and the Magnum SRT-8 allows for 71 cubic feet of storing space, making it the most performance oriented grocery cart in the world. Finally, Dodge has found their niche.

This review is rediculous. Paddle shifter station wagon? Pay more for true potential? How bout this, its got a boatload of interior room, and hauls ass. Want more performance? Go buy the Challenger. Dont like the wagons? Go buy a Charger. Want more elegance? Buy a 300c. Paddle shifters are for F1, where you have to shift so often a clutch is impossible. She probably drives a Civic.

@cfunicelli but a manual would be nice in an set magnum

[cfunicelli]

paddle shifters were only on lambos and ferraris in 2006....as far as the m5 and e63 were the first "normal" cars to have paddles and they were both 90,000$

@davenhla It's funny how NONE of the cars you've mentioned support paddle shifters. The car is pretty nice, except the plastic interior which is the lowest in it's class and that retarded mercedes gearbox.

@marqusde365ste I would also rather have a manual. A 6 speed in this thing would be fun i think. But you have to cut Chrysler a little slack, 10 years ago they couldnt even make a slush box that would last more then 60k miles. At least they seem to have figured that part of it out. It is likely the lousy factory tuning for the transmission was a way to help prolong the life of the thing, and in 06 they were still fine tuning their traction control logic. As other poster said, buy a tuner.

@cibodrake lol at comparing a magnum to an M5 or E63. I was just thinking...if I had 15k to buy a used V8 wagon, would I buy a Magnum or an M5....OWAIT. And paddle shifters are just the crossroads between gasoline powered performance cars and all electric cars where there is no gearbox, no engine response, no anything besides push harder goes faster. Thats why push button start is going mainstream. need a way to ween people off starting your engine with a key to "crank it over".

[cibodrake]

@davenhla BMW M5 Touring, and Mercedes E63 AMG both wagons, both have paddle shifters, you go ahead and tell the Germans that they are wrong.
