I hava a Magnum R/T, I average about 21 mpg mixed driving and about
24 mpg on the highway. I am running a Superchips programmer on the
89 octane tune. I like everything about my car, plenty of room, lots of
power, handles great for a wagon, and sounds excellent with flowmaster
exhaust. Good luck with your choice..........

as far as for the orignal poster. If you get serious about buying one. You should check out chargerforums.com. thats where my buddy bought his. He got a good deal on it and he bought it from a guy that was trusted throughout. So it was a win/win for him.

Unless your talking about buying a used one It's close enough now that I'd wait for the second year Challenger SRT8. Right now they only list 3 exterior color choices but I'll wait for Sub Lime. BTW Dodge updated the site today with more pics and video.
but the R/Ts switch to 4cyl when on the highway. so no doubt your mpg should be better....

I should have been more elaborate . I want the SRT8 Charger like charger R/T has. Nice car by the way, I want silver or gray. Yea I did research and it says they get around 20mpg highway and I drive about 40 miles to work but hell this lil rotary that I got gets around 20-21. Hey Charger r/t , do you have any gripes about the car? What warranty do you have? As soon as I get this RX8 paid for in a month or so I am going to test drive one. I want to buy a used one I never have or never will buy a new car. I have had real good luck with all my used cars that I have bought, knock on wood.
Thanks for the feedback guys its appreciated .

I have a Jeep Grand Cheroke SRT8. In my opinion, it is by far the best of the SRT8 vehicles. Lots of room and it has the fastest 0-60 and 1/4 mile time.
Most stock or lightly modded GC SRT8s 0-60 in 4.0 flat and run 13.0-13.20 in the quarter. That is no joke. The mileage is not too great on the highway because of the gearing, but there are few cars that can 60' in 1.80 seconds in the rain or dry. Don't get caught sleeping at a stoplight against an all wheel drive 6.1L Hemi Jeep.

i wasnt impressed with the SRT8. They are starting to become common around town. The only way to get an opinion tho is to go drive one yourself. Also dodge is the worst when it comes to EPA mileage. My srt4 when I had one said 18 city and 30+ hwy....yeah that **** was a complete lie. Dodge vehicles get probably the worst gas mileage out of any make. If you want a used one though I know where there is one. If you are interested PM me
