2013 Dodge Charger SRT8: Is the Pre-Facelift Fighter Worth Your Money?

With its reincarnation in the 2006 model year, the Dodge Charger has had a long and happy

But the celebration is coming to an end, as the iconic nameplate will once more be phased

Nevertheless, there are plenty more model years to pick from on the secondhand market,

[{"selector":"#anim-9a292c8a-ab97-40ab-a994-535caf535313 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.433823413947927%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-08cbae4d-8815-4d65-99d0-8c18e5236338","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.12751%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-00821a13-7eb3-4818-bba1-e1c062a27c4c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ff95193e-271c-4b38-893a-f3786a6e2c27","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

like as the tyre-roasting, pre-facelift 2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 sleeper sedan (LD generation)

your money on a rival vehicle or a more recent Mopar sedan, or is the 2013 SRT8 worth it?

[{"selector":"#anim-705df0f9-bdee-4708-907f-5c2f3243746f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.694030650638837%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4d6ba538-580e-4690-9331-9ce8302c9c62","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.12751%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-050abab5-365d-419f-a9bf-b87446e55495","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-abbe1bab-616a-4620-a381-cc23969b2d15","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

For example, the SRT8 can beat a new 2023 Honda Civic Type R—a hot hatchback
