This is a great auto. Very fast and smooth. Better gas mileage than I thought I would get. Average around 18mpg. It's a fun car to drive and has a great sound. Have been very pleased with this car. If you can find one buy it you will be pleased.

My dads owned this car since 2011 when he scored it for a good price with super minor front end damage and a salvage title off the backlot of a dealership. Dealerships owner planned to use for parts but at 60k and such an easy fix my father had to buy and restored it. After clearing the salvage title its been clear sailing to a current 200k miles. Its both his long distance commuter car and occasional family runaround vehicle, never letting anyone down reliability or performance wise. My father treats this car like a third son, with beyond meticulous upkeep and maintenance, only thing he has to replace frequently is tires and balljoints/control arms; but that comes with the territory of not just low sporty cars, but 300’s in general. Super sporty sculpted seats with suede inserts always get compliments especially with all the leather conditioner thats kept the seat rip free all these miles later. The only true draw back of this sports sedan is the rough jarring ride, it lends the interior more creaks and rattles than id like, but my father frequents the super rough roads of the bronx daily. Overall this car has been one of the best cars all around and performs as the day it was built. If you have the opportunity of purchasing one of these fine sports cars do it, you will truly have no regrets with scheduled maintenance. P.s. This is all coming completely unbiased from a diehard Honda enthusiast who would rather get shot in the foot than give an American car the benefit of the doubt, especially a mid 2000s Dodge/Chrysler.

Good Car - beware buying from conglomerate dealers

Fueling - make sure it accepts fuel without spit back. Acceleration and braking - will put a smile on your face Fuel economy - not so much - not expected from a relatively large V8 in a 4,200 lb car. Good handling

I love it! This thing beats my old Infinity G 35 hands down. It's faster, better looking, and better built. I was at the nissan dealership getting the G 35 fixed all of the time. What a pile of junk it was compared to this. I have had no problems whatsoever. Great Car

SRT8

The car has been awesome! I bought w/12k Miles and the Car stock was very fast w/425 Hsp. With few bolt on modes the car is close to 500. A whole group of dedicated followers are on-line waiting to share info. Parts are very reasonable. Gas Mileage is where you would expect, drive like your in the Indy 500 and you'll get 13 MPG, baby it and it's 18. Every time you start your SRT8 a Prius cries. Very tight ride, good handling for a 4200 lbs car with plenty of peddle. You can turbo your ride and have more power than a Lambo but why it has more tha enough. Exhaust makes the car sound like a Beast! SRT8 is a total sleeper and is the most bang for your buck you can possible get!
