The Challenger SRT8 is the best.

I love this car; it is fast and pleasant to drive. So much fun to go thru the gears with all the horsepower. 425 hp lots of power. Great looking too. What more could you want?

Should have bought one sooner

This car meets all of my needs combining performance with comfort. Plenty of power to go out and have fun, yet more than enough room you don't feel cramped and can seat the kids in back.

Most fun riding on 4 wheels

The car is a treat to drive. The rumble of the V8, the beautiful lines, shifting through the 6 gears. The most legal fun you can have!

Best car ever

This is a very good car not too small. Only thing I had to do is change the oil and filter for the last 11 years. Has never broken down very comfortable like a first class ride.

Too beautiful to pass up!

I have wanted one of these cars since they came out. I love the look and style, along with the sun roof and relatively good gas mileage. The trunk is a lot bigger than I thought it would be as well, which is a huge bonus! The only thing I feel its lacking is the controls in the steering wheel for the cruise control and the radio.

A car I still look back at when I park.

I've always thought of and driven my 09 Rt 6spd as a GT type car. Its heavy no doubt. But it moves pretty effortlessly. It can easily cross states at a 90-100 mph run pulling 1800 rpm. Or run a left lane in 4th and 5th with best of its class. This car has given me 0 problems in my 8 yrs I've owned it. Garage kept. No winters. Indy 500 Firestone's help big time. The germans designed mine. It's a solid coupe. Tough. Good looking. Powerful

10 years in and still fresh

I have had this car for ten years and 81,000 miles. It still smile every time I get in it. The build quality is excellent and the car has aged gracefully. It is powerful and competent and will actually get mid 20s mpg on the highway. Not bad for a 425 horse V8. In my 45 years behind the wheel this is the only vehicle I have ever driven that I could spend 10 hours straight behind the wheel and want more.

Cheap Tire Roasting Fun

I bought my 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 in 2019 and it only had less than 10,000 miles on it. At this point I was able to get an almost brand new $40,000 + car for the price of a Kia and it is an impressive performance machine. 425 horsepower and a six speed manual transmission for the price you can't go wrong here. Great looking car, makes all the right sounds, and is big and comfortable for touring. Love it!
