still, I'd say keep the truck and S/C it if you want more speed/power. especially as you want to keep 4 doors. The SRT-8/300 is a cool car though.

Ouch, sorry to hear the news. I liked that truck too.

If it makes you feel better, I work a 9-5 job and people love it. They always ask to go for rides in it and its an attention grabber. Its not as bad as you think it will be. You are only young once. Im going to get something more practical eventually, but im 23 and love my ride!

Persoanlly I have owned many a "Performance sedan", & I have to say that they have nothing in terms of comfort/luxury over my Screw! I also like the added field of vision out the windshield on the roadway of the truck! I much prefer the truck over a fragile car any day of the week!.......

You cant go wrong with Anything SRT related.

Although if I was shopping for a SRT right now I would go with the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8............ 420hp AWD, 0-60 in less then 5 seconds.. This is the BEST SRT under the Viper.

Everything about that SRT-8 is insane. It would probably be a better fit coming from a truck.

SRT8 Charger = SRT Division =

Looking into the SRT8 Cherokee myself as I think it will be more functional for what I would need it for as apposed to the Charger but LOVE the look of the SRT8 Charger!

Go for it if you get the chance...

Let me guess, fuel prices?

People need to do what ever makes them happy, BUT part of the huge problem with that philosophy is that few have enough common sense to live within their means. Credit is an absolute joke these days and most of the individuals in this country have a hard time making ANY sort of personal sacrifice AT ALL. They want the cool cars/trucks, video games, TV’s….but a majority of them are in debt up to their proverbial ***. Take for instance the millions of half-wits who chose an ARM and are now demanding the government to fix it. Absolute BS. You make your bed (financial decisions) you sleep in it. Perhaps these belly-achers should think about downgrading their cars to something which might allow them to refinance the house so they can keep it. Maybe sell that 360 and PS3, oh and the 60”TV perhaps. Not a chance. They’re going to jump on the bandwagon and demand the government bail their imbecilic ***’s out. OOPs, a bit off topic……

Great choice in vehicle.

PS: I know there are a handful of families that got an ARM and have had some financial hardships along the way. This is unfortunate and they deserve to ask for some relief provided they have already tried to get rid of some of the non-essentials.
Hold up dude...Not sure what island your on but isnt half of america in debt???Sorry I dont have $30k to throw down on a truck or a $100k+ for a house but I do have a alright paying job and credit I have estlabished over the years.
I bought my house over two years ago at only 20 years old. I did not know better and got a fixed 3 year mortgage. Now my 3 years is almost up and I may not be able to refinance b/c of all the Fking foreclosures in the area bringing my house value down. OK now WTF am I supposed to do....

Oh and I do have a PS3 and a big @ss tv on the wall but I dont see how selling them will do any good. Im not asking for no kind of government help.i just think you should understand not all of us are piece of *****s and are just trying to make it in this cut throat world. Hell I didnt know the economy would crash two years later.
