I was reading in the monthly Mopar magazine around May and there was the first release on the idea of a SRT-6 Avenger. I recently saw that Dodge took a reworked Avenger to SEMA housing a 4.0L V6, which was one of the powertrain ideas mentioned in the article. So my question is what do you think is the SRT-6 actually being born I'm attaching the website from the shop created this Avenger.

I came across that link the other day in searching for performance upgrades. This is interesting… I’m interested to knowing the same answer, when is the SRT-6 coming? I read that the SRT-4 Caliber was at 300 hp… SRT-6 Avenger?…

Here’s another link “ (http://www.zercustoms.com/news/STARTECH-STARSTER-Dodge-Avenger.html)STARTECH STARSTER Dodge Avenger” (http://www.zercustoms.com/news/STARTECH-STARSTER-Dodge-Avenger.html)

I'm pretty sure the SRT boys will get a hold of the Avenger and let loose. If not a hopped NA motor it will be forced induction and quite nasty. Unfortunately if it's the SRT it wont be offered with the lifetime warranty which in all honesty is pretty appealing as a consumer. But it shure would be hella fun to drive. :D

Thats a very interesting spin off. I'm sure what ever it is it will be very hairy, and a load of fun

The Caliber SRT4 when it finally was release; the engine was rated at 285 hp. I think the 300 hp resulted in so much torque steering it had be detune. I can already see it where some waterhead would floor it and loose control and then try to sue Dodge for selling a vehicle that was not safe.

yeah this would definately be awesome.. I would have to at least get some of the appearance stuff for it!

Glad I searched, I was about to post links to the Sema Stormtrooper model myself hehe.

I would likely be bummed I didn't get a SRT-6 model if they make one, but i needed a car, so I had to get mine when I did.

What I'm actually a little more let down about is that I heard rumors of a MDS style system for 2009 models of the avenger/sebring. This would work like the v8 chargers/magnums do now where it would either auto select less cylinders while say cruising on the hwy for more gas mileage or that maybe you could select them yourself..I don't recall now.

I'd love to have the ability to keep performance but also select 4 or 3 cylinders for economy when its needed.

I would love it if they built the SRT-6......I hope they make it happen!!!!

I too wish I knew about an SRT-6 first, but I got my car in early March and it was the 3rd one the dealership had. Oh well, maybe I'll just make a jump for it if/when it comes out.

Sorry to burst your bubble but the SRT-4 only has 285 horses and 265 torque.

Yeah, Zonestar made confirmed that what I READ was wrong and made the correction.

Any numbers on the SRT6 yet??? What would win the SRT4 or SRT6?? or for that matter the SRT6 or SRT8??? I know the SRT6 Crossfires were very fast.:smileup:

It would be the same setup as the SRT-6 Crossfire in HP and TQ. Seeing how the motor used in it has already been tested and proven to be very close to bullet proof. It would be cost savings for Chrysler to go this way, just because they would not have to R&D the motor and tranmission. R&D is were the real heavy expense is. Dave Lauzun who is the manager of R&D for Dodge has stated that the SRT guys are talking about the Avenger as a possible SRT-6.

It only seems logical that the Avenger would come in a SRT version.

SRT4 Caliber
SRT6 Avenger
SRT8 Charger
SRT10 Viper

Makes perfect sense - to me anyway.

Hehe after looking at that...me too! :)

definately the right thing to do. We deserve a Avenger SRT. As sporty as the car looks how could you not have a SRT version!!!

Looks like the SRT6 Avenger may be closer then we think:D

The center console with the built in 3 gauge pod would be an accessory that I would be willing to purchase if it was available separate.

If they build it I will buy it. I like the looks and the power plant is going to be alot of fun. Just wish they would do it in a rear wheel drive.

Just one word.. Exactly..! :smiley_thumbs_up:

The Stormtrooper version is cool...lets see a Darth Vadar edition@ lol

That thing is pretty sweet!

I hope they do more than just drop in the 4.0L. This is the same 4.0L that comes in the nitro R/T. It's available in a few other chrysler vehicles as well. This is not the same 4.0L that has came in the jeeps for years.

if they do release an SRT-6, it should have a turbocharger.

What's the big push behind 4 cylinder tuners these days? neon and now caliber. Is it just weight? If some will develop a srt version for the avenger i think it will sell.

the caliber R/T AWD weighs in at 3300 lbs which is not far from the avenger weight. The avenger looks cooler and is more family friendly.

I would like to see it supercharged. With the Crossfire SRT gone, I would think a new SRT6 is in the making. Will it be the Avenger, or will Dodge make an SRT V6 Demon, and also have a standerd 4 banger Demon. All I can say, is that with the cars Dodge has shown at the car shows,..... it is going to be quite intresting in the next few years. The Stormtrooper Avenger came out of the Skunk Works at Mopar. So, I'm still leaning to the Avenger being the next SRT6.

Ya, I hope they come out with a SRT avenger...though its probably gonna depend on sales of the current avengers to see if there is enough interest.

And DM I think the big push behind 4 cyl tuners can be blamed upon the fast and the furious line of movies lol :p

I was pondering the Idea of the SRT-6 Avenger running the SRT-4 Caliber Motor. Its the same as the 2.4 thats in most Avengers and has plenty of power capability. There wouldn't be much to change and there is plenty of room for an intercooler. The only thing i see being a fault is there is no MTX availible in the US for the Avenger. Figure that the SRT motor makes 285hp and thats more then even the stock 3.5 makes. I have heard thru someone that there was a supercharger kit in the works for the 3.5's in the Charger,300 and Magnums.

I've seen the "SXT Supercharger kit" for the Chargers and it looks like it's probably about a year away from mass production. As with all new cars, the biggest issue in getting it working is getting the damn software to not have a hairy conniption. Realistically, it should be a bolt on, 85 to 100 hp for in the neighborhood of $1100 - $1600 simoleans. The hard part is going to be getting a new chip or updating your old chip so your compy doesn't wig out.

Since it's the same motor the same kit >should< work, and since the weights are close I doubt the gearing will be a big issue.

I think they should turbo the 3.5 for the srt could only wish for a hemi powerplant .the engine's set-up different in the charger its quite abit different so i honestly dont think it will be universal

My understanding of the new 3.5 liter is that the bottom end is not strong enough for turbocharging or supercharging. The new 4.0 was designed for a turbo and I would think that when the SRT-6 is made it will be with a turboed 4 liter engine.

I would love an avenger with the turboed 4 liter 6 cyl engine hehe!

I've seen in the Charger forums an "SXT Supercharger" prototype for the V6. Knowing Chrysler, it's the same V6 in the R/Ts. That being said, if they made the SRT-6 using the same platform and just charged it I'd be happy. Because I have 66 payments to go before I can think about something new.

DAAAAM can u guys imagine how fast a v6 4L turbo avenger would go????

i think the charger hemi might have a big problem if thats wat the new srt6 would be

The Avenger's 3.5L engine has a higher compression ratio (10:1) and 235hp. The Charger has a compression ratio of 9.9:1 and 250hp. Allpar has listed the Avenger at 186 horse power at the wheels. The Charger SXT 3.5L, should be around high 190's at the back wheels I would think. But, a SC would be great thats for sure.

If they produced that and I could trade mine in without being totally upside down on it..I would! :)

The problem with that is, you may have to wait until you only have about one year less to come out ahead... Being upside down in a loan is probably more realistic to happen as soon as you drive the car off the lot.

Oh I know....thats why I got everything I could have in my car (with the exception of rear ves)...becuase I plan on having it for awhile, and I didn't want to sit here saying "I wish I would have got this or that". I got basically everything I could, so not much to wish for lol.

Yeah, I left some stuff off to save some money, and I know it was necessary, but I really wish I would have got it on there now... lol. Oh well, I can only afford so much.

No worries...I always overspend...and always get in trouble for it later on. Your better off. :)

Well that was the idea. But I really wish I would have got just a little more...
