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 “STARTECH STARSTER Dodge Avenger”

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.

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.

 

[Zodiak]

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:

 

[Quiet Lunatic]

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.

 

[Zonestar]

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!

 

[Shadowvenger]

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!!!

 

[Zodiak]

Looks like the SRT6 Avenger may be closer then we think

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.

 

[Shadowvenger]

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.
