The Dodge Magnum SRT8 Was Hilarious

The Dodge Magnum SRT8 is one weird attempt at building a sleeper wagon. With a 425HP Hemi V8, rear wheel drive, and a ton of cargo space - it was unlike anything Dodge had ever built. The car community has a love for wagons, so why wasn't this beast talked about more? Let's go for a drive and talk all about it.

If money wasn’t an issue I’d love to see a viper v10 swapped into the magnum. It would kinda be like a m5 estate but the American version

My very first experience going "fast" as a kid was when the crazy old lady at church asked if I'd like to come for quick ride around the block in her magnum SRT8. I was 12 and had never felt anything more than 200 horsepower at maybe 3/4 throttle. So THIS lady floors it and does a quick 0-60 pull right off the rip and I can honestly say she changed my life forever. That moment made me a car guy. The sound! The sheer experience of G forces pinning me to the seat. My vision literally blurred from my occipital lobe being presses into the back of my skull. It made me feel terrified and ALIVE ar the same time!

The SRT Magnum has always been a dream car. They're great cars and that 6.1 hemi was so strong.

After working for dodge for 20 years I was finally able to get my hands on one. In March I picked up a 2006 with 49k miles.

The OG SRTs don’t get enough love overall so it’s definitely nice to see on this channel🙌🏽

The magnum to me was always cool this should have been continued and eventually had its own hellcat variant like all the other full size dodge vehicles.

I remember when the magnum came out one of the main selling features was you could fit a full 4*8 sheet of plywood in the back

I’m so happy to see the magnum finally getting the love they deserve. Everyone called me crazy when I got mine but they are all jealous

[jamesstaggs]

They were talked about alot when they were still being sold. Every car magazine was saying these would be extremely collectable in the future due to them being rare, unusual and really good. Americans don't like wagons though, so I guess not many people think about them now. I've always wanted one though.

I’ve been singing this cars praises for years and no one cared. They’ve always been awesome and just watch their values are going to climb like the V wagons did.

With cars like the Mercedes E63 AMG, BMW M3 Touring, and the Audi RS6 Avant, I would say Dodge pulled the Magnum out of the inventory way too soon.

Cant wait for the hellcat swap magnum !

[richgrassmann]

I've always loved the SRT8 Magnum, but I love all fast wagons. I only wish they would come back.

[shaggy_e]

A new generation would've been so damn nice. Especially with the current widebody option with a Hellcat trim would be rad.

[MrChubs]

I have 06' RT version I love the hell out of it. Sure it ain't fast like the SRT but when I bought it had a exhaust system like this one and it sounds amazing, feels amazing. people tend to stop me and ask about it cause it's a oddity nowadays since station wagons have evolved kinda into SUV'S. Tbh I'd love if Dodge did a 23' magnum with a durango face and with hellcat or if they wanna be crazy a hellephant

[stacimilligan]

The magnum has been my favorite body of the last 20+ years . The wagon needs to come back, thank you for bringing attention to it

[QuinnsRC]

Don't swap! That 6.1 is too sweet sounding. Supercharger, intercooler, Brembos, coil-overs, wide rubber.

[BrandonHanson]

This is still one dream machine. Anyone who still has one of these, please keep it. Regardless if you have a wife who hates it or not.
