Hemi Powaaaaaaaaaah: 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT-8

The Chrysler LX platform was launched in 2005 as rear-drive replacement for some terrible front-drive Chrysler platform which we won't even dare to mention...but the LX offered some rear-wheel-drive goodness for the Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, and Chrysler 300. This platform was launched in the middle of the much maligned Daimler-Chrysler merger era, and the LX platform was the recipient of many Mercedes-Benz parts -- E-Class 5-link suspension, S-Class front control arm, 5-Speed auto gearboxes from Mercedes...yes many Mercedes-Benz parts, and many of them from previous generation platforms...so what is old is new again.  Despite the questionable origins, the LX platform did get the benefit of some serious power when Dodge let its in-house gearheads put their Hemi V8s into...well..everything.

Tail Waggin: 2007 Dodge Magnum SRT8

The Dodge Magnum name was originally applied to a two-door B-body coupe way back in the 1970s, but was resurrected in 2004 on the 5-door variant of the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger.  You could get a basic Magnum with a V6 or optional V8, but the real lunatics ponied up big bucks for the SRT-8 version.  Find this 2007 Dodge Magnum SRT8 offered for $15,000 in Kyle, TX via craigslist.
