The bright silver paint on the exterior of this 2006 Dodge Magnum
SRT is one of an estimated 555 produced. Combine that with the fact
that this car has only 44,850 miles on the odometer and it gets
even more rare. Co-engineered by Chrysler and Mercedes with the 6.1
Liter Hemi V8 boasting 425 horsepower this wagon is able to achieve
a 0-60mph time of just over 5 seconds. The Hemi's torque is being
sent to the ground by an A580 five-speed automatic transmission
with specially calibrated driver-selectable AutoStick (a feature
that offers fully automatic or manual shifting selection).The dual
exhaust has a great throaty sound that is tame enough to cruise
comfortably with or turn heads when you step on the gas. One of the
Magnum's extreme characteristics is the huge 120 inches wheelbase,
which gets to be even bigger than that of a Cadillac Escalade. The
front spoiler was completely redesigned in order to reduce lift and
improve engine cooling. Dedicated cooling intakes also get to feed
via integrated ducts the oversized front-brakes in extensive
decelerating episodes. The rear spoiler is also completely new. The
sporty character of the Magnum SRT-8 can also be seen in its
suspension set-up. Higher traveling speeds, reduced acceleration
and braking times bring additional stress to the car. In order to
compensate for that the car has SRT-tuned dampers, specially
tailored spring rates and suspension bushings, and also
large-diameter anti-sway bars. Also the ride height of the Magnum
SRT-8 has been lowered with one-half inch than that of other
Magnums in order to decrease the weight center. A specially tuned
Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is also set to meet the Magnum
SRT8's performance handling characteristics. The Magnum SRT-8
features performance brake calipers developed by Brembo and
finished in Dodge SRT red for each wheel. Every of them are
equipped with four pistons for even clamping performance. The front
vented rotors size 14.2 inches and those in the rear 13.8 inches.
One of the flashiest elements from the 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT-8 is
the new wheel and tire assembly. They are composed of five spokes
20-inch forged aluminum wheels fitted with high-performance
Goodyear F1 tires with asymmetrical tread. The low profile tires
size 245/45 ZR20 in the front and 255/45 ZR20 in the rear.Obviously
the SRT-8 will charm looking for versatility of mixing utility and
temperament. On the practical side this car is no record setter,
but still offers a lot of load space. Behind the 60/40 split
folding rear seats there are 27.3 cu. ft. to be accommodated with
luggage. If no rear seats are required, they can fold flat and
extend the load capacity to a more than honorable 71.6 cu. ft. The
carpeted compartment located under the folding boot floor, the
12-volt boot located outlet and the retractable cargo cover
complete the carrier-abilities of the Magnum. You can view this
