2008 Magnum SRT8

[XS29LA47V21]

So does any one here have a 2008 Magnum SRT8?  They made as I recall 220 or 230 of them, 19 blue.  I want to buy a blue one, does know of one (before I cave to a new challenger)?

My girlfriend's dad has a black one. Its one of 25 built for Canada. He LOVES it. Its a gorgeous car.

those front fascias on the 08's were hideous though.

Ok, so I found this out in the web.  Honestly I can't imagine they will turn into a GNX, Hemi conv Cuda or something in the long run, I just want one to drive for a while.  The one yr front end is starting to look fairly dated now and the wagon thing must show my age

"The 2008 Magnum SRT8 has the lowest production numbers of all SRT8 models for any model year. Only 232 were built (207 USA, 25 Canada, including 11 pre-production models, some of which were later sold at retail).

By color:

Black: 119 (51.29%)
TorRed: 50 (21.55%)
Silver: 34 (14.66%)
Blue: 29 (12.50%) "

I don't if it shows your age or not, I've noticed a pretty wide age demographic driving them myself. 

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Wow! I didn't realize the production numbers were that low

[Ghoste]

I don't think there are any SRT models which are what you would call high production numbers.

The 2008 Front bumper cover was an unwelcomed version of UGLY.  If I recall the car was slated to die in 2007 so most of these early 2008's were built as cheapies...mostly SE, and SXT's for rental cars and fleets.  2008 R/T Hemi versions are extremely rare to find and I don't recall ever seeing a 2008 SRT Magnum. 

Apparently Magnums sold better in Canada than in the US. 

[Ghoste]

Not really.  Maybe a handful more than usual around the Bramalea area?

[69bronzeT5]

I don't recall ever seeing a 2008 SRT Magnum.  

Yup.....I see this one all the time

[Ghoste]

Smartass.    (its a good looking car Cody)

[RIDELIKEHELL]

That is sweet Cody! I still miss my 05 R/T

[69bronzeT5]

Yeah, its a stunner. I love my '05 R/T

[TUFCAT]

What year is that SRT with the hoodscoop?  If that's a 2008 I might have to eat my words! 

[c00nhunterjoe]

Judging by the tag that reads "rare 08" I'm going with 08........

Yup, its my girlfriend's dad's 2008

[Indygenerallee]

It's still a Ram that mated with a Charger...

Ooops I missed that...good one!

     hmm maybe thats why I want one. 

[XS29LA47V21]

That it?  no other charger/wagon guys?

[Ghoste]

Doesn't look like it.  So are you going with one of these or a new Challenger?

[69bronzeT5]

Like I said, I LOVE my 2005. It's super comfortable to drive and does 13 second 1/4 mile times. I once beat a new Camaro RS with a pair of tires and a pair of '70 Coronet fenders in the back  I take it drag racing all the time (not with the stuff in the back though ) My girlfriend's SRT8 Jeep does 12.6 1/4 mile times with just a CAI and Predator tune on it....

I think it looks great Cody. Can't get them here though. The best on offer is the Chrysler 300c touring.

  I am with you T5, last 5 yrs may daily has been a RTmagwag and I still love it (but ordered a 13srtChal yesterday, no 08srtmagwag for me )
