I lusted after the srt8 magnum...till I drove one. I like trucks, but I don't have any use for a car that drives like a truck, with terrible viability.

How exactly does it drive "like a truck"

Not sure what the question is but i'd venture their MPG is at least 10% worse than an IS300 because their motor is 100+% bigger. :v:


I averaged like 14.5mpg over 5 years of ownership with one. Best ever tank was 21mpg of pure highway worst was 7mpg (at a racetrack). Actually now that I think about it, that is one way in which an SRT8 drives "like a truck", terrible but justified mileage.

Ok, OK....a sporty truck!

Granted, this was not my car that I test drove so I couldn't drive it hard...but I don't think I would have wanted to. I'm not a race car driver, but my impression was that it would have been much happier plowing straight ahead, than turning in at any speed. Maybe because of the weight it carries? I thought the steering was slow and heavy as well. Hey just my impression, by all means go drive one if it's what you like.....for me it was like the old saying, "never meet your heroes".

Its a big car, but the SRT's can definitely hustle through the corners. They also have great brakes if you use a good pad compound.

Holding on to a spec racer through a long right hander before blowing by it on the straight. Then later letting a lotus exige cup (on hoosiers) by and running him back down before hitting some traffic.

Also me and another magnum driving terribly at Monticello motor club

Hard to compare cars like that at a trackday - you could be balls-out and the car you're barely keeping up with is working on lines or something.

The guy in the exige was driving hard, we had a conversation about how a big wagon was filling his mirrors.

If you want to use a real benchmark, AI's favorite little race car the spec miata will have qualifying times at that track of around a 1:20 there. My SRT8 was typically running 1:16-1:17's there with no traffic.
