You learn something new every day! That would look awesome in metalic black, but for the flying spaghetti monsters sake don't add black wheels as well.

I drove one around Barber once a few years ago, it was a seriously nice car. Great brakes!

Can't you get the non-SRT for a fraction of the price and easily match the hp #'s with a few bolt-ons? I remember looking for an SRT Magnum but noticing how cheap and easy it would be to replicate with a Hemi Magnum instead (and those replica Viper wheels, of course).

So you want us to talk you out of a glorious high horsepower interstate cruiser? You know exactly what you are getting and what you are not. I personally prefer the caddy, but this is your car not mine. Go for it!

My old man had a '10(?) Charger R/T AWD with the Road and Track Pack. I can't imagine SRT version. Instead of getting 2.5 seconds of full throttle fun, you get 1.8 seconds of full throttle fun. Seriously glorious noises but you had to check your speed. Even with the AWD, it would lay down some good rear wheel drive rubber then the fronts would say 'ok you redneck, it's time to get a move on' and it would hit light speed without effort.

That said, I wonder what a Magnum front clip would look like on the 300 sedan?

Edit: Not bad. Ignore the wheels.

Someone I work with has one of these in black and i'm sure it goes for stink. It was a steaming bargain what they got it for and I think he gets somewhere around 17-18 mpg in it. Not too for what its worth I guess.

HOLD THE PHONE! They offered the R/T with AWD? That sounds like scads of fun.

So with some parts swapping it is possible to get a Hemi AWD 300 wagon?

If it had a manual it would check all the boxes! No chance such a beast exists in other markets (making it at least technically possible to build one), is there?

I dunno about manual trans (there are 6 speed challengers), but you can get a valve body and TCM upgrade for fully sequential action When I shift you shift we shift

My car is paid off in October, its game time at that point.
