    Here is my dilemma...........

    Ive have been looking at magnums for the past month and a half. I own a 2006 daytona go mango. The dilemma, well I have 3 dogs and I often would love to take them some where when my fiance is not home, she has a 4 runner. I was going to sale my 92 stealth twin turbo and my 93 3000gt and use that to buy a high mile r/t or a awd 3.5 L magnum. Well for the last week I have drove my 3000 and I have had so many compliments on it and I'm falling right back in love with it. My stealth on the other hand is a pain in the ass and is totally going as soon as possible. My question to you guys is, do I trade my charger in on a srt8 and satisfy my love for the lx power and my need for the extra space? Or sale the stealth and save money to buy a some what used r/t or awd 3.5? I really dont know what to do. If I got rid of the daytona, it would only go for a srt8 magnum. I just dont know if thats a stupid move or not. Thanks guys.......

    Go with your gut, SRT8 Magnum! That will fix your needing more space for your dogs, and faster car to get your LX fix. Good luck!

    Yeah buddy ... SRT8 Magnum ... and tell the dogs to "sit" or they won't believe what happens next .... after they bang off the sides a few times they'll get the message to sit the F down!

    My gut is definetly telling me to go with the srt8 magnum. I am always so worried that something is going to happen to the daytona and ruin the limited edition thing. I just want a car that fits everything I need and want. I think the magnum easily does that. My daytona is awesome but I think Im going to have to let her go. Please tell me Im not screwing up................lol

    How can you screw up by meeting your needs?

    Why is the 3000 that much better than the twin turbo?

    Last year made srt magnum might be as valuable as a daytona!

    I can relate to your dilema... I had to trade in a car that I REALLY loved, only had 4700 miles on it too... I did have second thoughts for about a month until I really got into my Mag SRT8... Now.... I AIN'T LOOKING BACK !!! Jim

    Its not that the 3000 is better than the twin turbo. It's just that the stealth is just a pain to work on and I really haven't drove it a lot. I think I will be making this move here in a couple of weeks. And I think any srt or r/t magnum may be worth something in the long run.

    If,
    You go with an R/T try to find one with the road and track package, I wanted the Daytona too when I started looking, but I needed more room for my 3 dogs so I bought the Magnum with the Road and track, it's the same as the Daytona, but with more room...Plus it's got the MDS, where the SRT doesn't...

    I have been looking at this also but it seems like there isnt any road and track packages for sale. I am constantly looking at these magnums and havent seemed to run across one in my area. The dealerships around here have hardly got any magnums on the lot. With the srt8 coming down so drastically in price I may just bite the bullet and get the 6.1.
