Dodge Magnum SRT-8 production numbers?

skylark68 · 10-21-2009, 02:15 PM

I know all of the SRT-8 vehicles are fairly rare, but I was wondering if anyone out there had the production figures on the Magnum SRT-8? I think a low mileage 2008 model would be a great future collector's item. I liked the revised front end a lot and I think it was unfortunate that Chrysler killed off such a fun (and sort of practical) vehicle.

especially when the redesign for the SRT 8 magnum happened. Personally i'm not expecting it to be a huge collectors item but i'm sure there will be some interest a few years down the road

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%)

Wow, looks like Mopar has some future classics on their hands. The SRTs are nice modern muscle.

Thanks for the information. The one that I found is black, and the mileage is fairly low and the price seems reasonable. Maybe I can convince my wife to sell her Mazda 3. I'd love to find one of those blue ones...

Why would she want to downgrade to a gas pig like a Magnum?

People "downgrade" to "gas pig" CUV's all the time. For a given drivetrain, the Magnum would be no worse, and its a shame Dodge didn't get to put the updated 5.7 in it before the death of the Magnum. 375 hp and 24-25 mpg hwy with some utility to boot...

Ok I realize this thread is about the SRT-8, but my response still stands

Why would she step up from a tiny gutless Fail-Wheel-Drive econobox to a gorgeous 425hp RWD Station Wagon? Yeah that's a tough call. If you think going from a Mazda3 to a loaded LX wagon is a downgrade...

You're the kind of person I used to LOVE pointing out to that I drive my 5200lb truck @80mph 50 miles one way to work. Of course now my new job allows me to take the train (which I get to sleep on!!!), but I gladly paid the fuel bill to drive a vehicle I don't hate. If I didn't need to tow my Avalanche would be a Magnum SRT8 or a 300C.

Smart move...the magnum rt and srt/8 are awesome vehicle choices. (as long as you don't give a crap about gas mileage) The performance is awesome and worthy of the fuel consumption.....(as long as you go into this with your eyes wide open and expect gasoline to escalate in price etc)

This morning I was just looking at the same vehicle as a third car. Awesome performance, good utility (four doors) and value pricing in the second hand market)

Where do you get that kind of detail?

Sorry, you're going to occasionally run into people here who actually like cars.

Gas pig? Beg to differ, sir.

I have a 2006 Magnum SRT-8 with 38k miles; only mods are a cat back exhaust and K&N flat panel air filter.

I have an 80 mile commute every day, and average between 19 and 21 MPG at freeway speeds. For a 2 ton+ behemoth with 380+ RWHP, I find this plenty acceptable.

New Suzuki SX-4 CUV gets about 25 MPG.
New Honda Pilot CUV gets about 22 MPG.
New Subaru Forester CUV about 26 MPG.
Most new trucks (the current cool vehicle of choice) about 18 mpg.

My ability to achieve near warp speed in a stealthy black American made muscle wagon- priceless.

Well said SRTpete, and welcome to the forum.

Sounds like you have yourself there a sweet ride.
