    Default 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT8



    http://www.speedsportlife.com/2006/1...-srt8-refresh/

    Hint: Click the link above for Super Sized Pics

    With just a few weeks to go before the big show kicks off in Detroit, our spy friends at BP & Co. caught Dodge with their proverbial pants down today with these shots of an undisguised 2008 Magnum SRT8. At first glance, one can immediately notice the much more aggressive front end. Dodge has downsized the grill intakes, and added a lower fascia reminiscent of the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8. Also new is the hood scoop, which is currently exclusive to the Charger. Though we don’t have any shots of the rear end, we hear that the taillights are updated as well.

    There aren’t many details on the engineering side of the fence, but we do know that SOP is August 2007 and that the interior has been updated (hopefully for the better). The 425hp, 6.1L HEMI engine remains unchanged, though the 5-speed AutoStick transmission programming has been tweaked and improved for faster and smoother shifts.

    We aren’t 100% sure that this facelifted Magnum will debut in Detroit, but rest assure that we will be seeing it at one of the major auto shows this season. With the design disaster of the Sebring and Compass still fresh on our minds, we’re glad to see that the Chrysler Group hasn’t gone completely soft on us.

    I like the direction that Dodge's styling is going. Those pics look a lot like the new Nitro which I really like myself. If the interior is anywhere as up to date as they've made the nitro with its Mygig set-up this car could be amazing too.

    I kinda like it, but I wish Dodge would stop throwing chrome or polished aluminium rims on every car I dont think it looks very good.

    The nitro has a manual, the SXT is a manual six speed. Also, anyone check out Nitro's myspace page yet? Its actually pretty cool - you can customize it and detail it, and no chrome necessary...
