NEED HELP DECIDING - 4/20/2008 2:42:56 PM    AST3 funccius   Posts: 6 Joined: 4/1/2008 Status: offline hey, I could use  a little help, I'm somewhat in a bind. I dont know which vehicle to buy, the srt-8 charger, or the srt-10 truck. I LOVE both these vehicles very very much. As much as i love the srt-10, the gas mileage isnt great, but I live in michigan so it might be a lilttle better in winter due to the fact i could put sand bags in it, which I couldnt with the srt-8, but I love the performance aspect of the charger and the fact it gets decent mileage. I'm really stuck and could use any help that you guys could offer. Post #: 1

But the problem is that they are pretty pricey. My advice is just try to avoid driving the car or truck in the snow as much as possible. With rain its not to bad just be very careful with the throttle. (in reply to HEPPYHEMISRT8) Post #: 3

When i get the srt-8, it will be my daily driver, so its not gunna be to easy to avoid all the winter conditions. But when I find my car, I can promise you that I'm goin to drive it like its meant to be driven. unfortunately, I have to trade in my 05 ram daytona and most likely sell my chevelle, but it will be worth it. If any one else has some extra info they wouldnt mind sharing I would greatly appreciate it. thanks a lot guys (in reply to Nicky B) Post #: 4

Get some 18" wheels with Blizzaks, and these cars are just fine in the winter. In fact, my SRT8 Magnum is my winter beater, and I live in Calgary, Alberta. This "don't drive it in the winter" business is the same nonsense that I got at the Dodge service desk when I went to ask about a tire and rim combination for the winter. Just go to tire rack and get them to put together an 18" wheel and Blizzak combination for you. I use the LM-25's. -Matthew (in reply to AST3 funccius) Post #: 5
