Yeah I've never had a V8 and wanted one of these for years. Had three V6's, 2.0, 2.3 super charged and the saab was a 2.8 Turbo V6. Had rotary, had 4 cylinder on carbs/injection... but yeah never had a V8... and this is a mini dream for me. It might not be for some I get that it's an aquired taste but to have such comfortable massive safe car, that shifts.

Just had quote for a remap, think it's going to happen, this will take it to 460bhp/460lbs of torque... more = better right? lol

I test drove one of these years and years ago and then some time later ended up with a regular 5.7 for a while. The SRT is considerably more ferocious than the lesser sibling from what I remember. The range and fuel consumption are an issue of course but you knew that before getting it. I hope it gives you many smiles and enjoyable miles.

It interesting - my car weighs about the same as this but they couldn’t be further apart.
This has a thunderous 6 litre V8 and my car has 2 whisper quiet electric motors.
