    Such a hard decision

    We have decided to trade our second car, 04 Infiniti G35 coupe, for either a magnum or a charger SRT8.

    The hard part is deciding which one to get. Anyone have any pros or cons of either to assist us?

    Sorry we arent. While I really like the look of the 300, it is the agressive stance of the charger and the retro look of the magnum that we really like.

    We are leaning towards the charger since we own 1 magnum already, but let there be no mistake, two magnums in the garage would be cool...R/T and SRT-8....

    Ohh the joy we could have

    Don't the Magnum and the Charger share interiors? Why not move up to the C version? Nicer and less plastic looking ..... uhm IMHO.

    Do you find yourself utilizing the cargo space of the Magnum? If not, think about the Charger?

    When it comes down to it...they really are different versions of the same car...so whichever gets your motor runnin'...go for it!

    Good luck and let us know which one you get!

    I like them both, and I hate to say it 300 owners, I can't stand the 300's instrument cluster. It's too flat for me... Drives me nuts just to look at it.

    I got the Magnum because I have to stuff large boxes in the vehicle on occasion and the Chargers trunk is just too small an opening. Same problem with the 300.

    But since you already have a Magnum.... The Charger is a nice contrast. Unless you plan to trade it in for a Challenger in which case the MSRT8 would be a good choice.

    It's all just eye candy, however, because they are, the same car.... Like DMAG just said! I think the Mag's less of a cop magnet however...

    A 2 Magnum garage would be my idea of nirvana. MSRT8 rarer,practical and maybe less of cop magnet. Some how I don't see that red one of Jaak's not atracting cops! Unless they are friggin blind! I can see a conflict, who gets to drive SRT8?

    We are also looking at adding another LX to the garage soon. Looking at selling the Dakota. It will be hard. I have always owned a truck, but I am wanting either a Charger SRT8 or 300 SRT8. Maybe we will hold off for the Challenger.

    I'd say go for the Charger SRT8.

    Since you already have a Magnum, I'd go Charger SRT-8. That way you'd have the Magnum if you needed the extra space, and the Charger if you want to go real fast...LOL. The good thing about this decision, is I don't think there is a bad choice. Both SRT's would be great.

    I was thinking of picking up the Jeep SRT8...I just gotta find one around here to test drive. I was drooling over a MSRT8 the other day but the wife wants a Jeep. What a surprise she would get.

    Hate to say it, but we looked at a 300c SRT-8 tonight and it may have won us over. We can get it for slightly under MSRP fully loaded and it meets our speed need and my husbands corporate needs.

    I guess we will see this weekend
