Just as we hear about the new limited 385kw GTS-R, Chrysler have confirmed that they are releasing a limited edition SRT8 with a 365kw 6.1 Hemi which will be here by the years end. Apparently the dealers have plenty of interest after its showing at Melb Motor Show in March.

I hope FPV can muster up something after the Orion is launched as theres always cashed up buyers who will spend on Horsepower.

Damn, forget about the SRT. Shove the donk in the new R/T Charger shape and I'll put down my money on one today!

Count me in for Dodge Charger as well.
Going to find Chrysler will take a chunk of another market with this car.

Everyone is sick of looking at Commodores & Falcons.

You are correct about the Charger sharing its underpinings with the 300c. Although I'm not 100% keen on its looks, I wouldn't mind seeing the Charger here as well.

I actually like the look of the charger. In photos at least, ive never seen one properly. But it definatly is a unique and successful take on a big muscle car in my opinion. The 300c on the other hand im not too fond of, but still looks great from different angles.



yep, that would suit Australia just fine :P
