Thread of the Day: What’s Your Favorite SRT Vehicle

We all like big horsepower and rear-wheel drive, and Chrysler’s SRT performance division does a bang-up job at offering a various lineup of vehicles that almost all enthusiasts can’t help but respect – if not love. With the SRT lineup expanding with three new entry-level trim levels on the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, we wish to discover which SRT vehicle was your favorite for today’s Thread of the Day.

SRT’s three new entry-level models are the 2013 Chrysler 300 SRT8 Core, the 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Core, and the Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee. All three are powered by a 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 making 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, and all three offer five-speed automatic transmissions, while the Challenger also makes available a six-speed manual. The most cost effective of the 3, the Challenger SRT8 Core, starts at $39,990.

SRT’s other offerings play with the formula a chunk. The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, as an instance, is powered by the identical 6.4-liter V-8, has all-wheel drive, and an eight-speed automatic transmission (though it does have ”just” 465 lb-ft of torque).
