    Should I buy it?? Srt8

    Having trouble deciding... been wanting an 08-10 srt8 Challenger and have been seeing prices in mid 20s for what I want...low miles, taken care of and Hemi Orange. Best deal I have worked was 26k for a 5k mile showroom car.. so found a elderly owned magnuson supercharged, tuned, full stainless exhaust with long tubes, hellcat wheels brand new tires with Around 15k miles. Seen underneath it it’s spotless... with the factory wheels, exhaust, intake included. All for a few grand more than a stock srt8 with tax I’d be at 30k.... one downfall is no cats and I would need emissions test... and it’s a 12 hour round trip... any insight!!??

    Do the bottom ends of those motors survive with boost?

    everything I have seen is that the 6.1 takes boost much better than the newer 6.4.... and low boost less than 8lbs is ideal over that and internals become an issue.

    Road trip would be fun in a blown SRT Challenger -- I say do it.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Why not pickup two cats for it? Decent cats for under $100ea can be found.

    Otherwise sounds like it will be a fun car to drive.
