"HIGHEST RANKED ENTRY MIDSIZE CAR IN INITIAL QUALITY IN THE U.S." J.D. POWER AND ASSOCIATES 2005 U.S. INITIAL QUALITY STUDYSM AWARD tech aluminum or carbon fibre trim, it's obvious they were spawned from drag racing genes. They're all a blast to drive, though their road manners and handling ability do vary. The turbocharged, 230 hp SRT4, for example, has plenty of grip and fade-resistance under hard braking. The Ram SRT10 also sticks well but under pressure its sheer bulk and oldschool live rear axle make you think carefully about what you're attempting, especially with an empty cargo bed. Where the cockpits of the 300C, Charger and Magnum SRT variants (based on a stretched and wider offshoot of the previous Mercedes EClass) are roomy and attractive, the Crossfire SRT8 and Grand Cherokee equivalent feel fairly tight by comparison. On the engine front, the Crossfire SRT8 puts out over 330 hp from its 3.2litre V6. Good enough to top it out at 250 km/h on the drag strip. The other SRT8s are even more potent. The 300C, Magnum, Charger and Grand Cherokee (which wasn't available for driving) make use of a 6.1-litre Hemi V8 that cranks out a stout 425 hp. The Ram and Viper SRT10s rip asphalt with 8.3-litre V10 mills that let loose more than 500 horses. Whichever one proves to be your favourite, every one stays true to the muscle car tradition, but this time in a modern, well-balanced performance package with gobs of power, terrific handling and great braking as a bonus. Those with tuner tastes will find the SRT4 appealing at under $28,000. The Magnum SRT8 runs at $45,995 while the 300C SRT8 is $50,495 -- bringing you E55 AMG power at half the price. The Crossfire SRT6 coupe and convertible take you into the mid-$60,000s with the Viper SRT10 at just under $130,000. With a family tree like this, the Chrysler Group's SRT program has a lot to work with for its future breeding program.
