What Is It Like To Own A SRT? (Pros, Cons, Cost) 

that’s the problem with people who purchase these mopars tho, they’re only worried about what OTHERS think and say lol. if you really feel this is the car for you then so be it.

did u get supposed to get on this morning

😊hehe

😂😂😂😂

bro i can tell yo tone and it’s hilarious 😂 “yall won’t discourage me bro im GETTING the srt”

The SRTs are good in the snow. I do have several other videos where I do an annual update for five years straight. Check those out for total cost of ownership.

I'm at four years of ownership now and nothing major has broken. My yearly update videos tell it all and will help provide you a detailed cost of ownership to help you make a more informed decision.

@@StraightSRT8 I’m subscribed now! I’ll check it out. Thanks man!

Absolutely, track mode makes it feel like a whole other vehicle!

Nice! That's better than I could ever do.

Mine was 4.0 flat. Here in Oklahoma! Moving! 93 octane baby!

@@basedsavage1713 Wow! 4.0 seconds is impressive. My personal best is now 0-60 in 4.1 seconds. You’ve given me something to aim for. The Jeep SRT is an amazing vehicle.

Nice! Crypto is doing well now after that crash. Good time to take the gains and trade for a SRT.

Thanks for your feedback, I'll be doing another year update soon.

😢😢

WORTH IT G! Low 4 0-60

Just heard it, nvm

I get 16mpg on my limited x, idk how he gets better with a bigger motor 😭

Only hwy

@@CarlosHernandez-xd8jbwith bigger motors you don’t have to be heavy on the throttle

It really comes down to if you trust the seller or not. If they're a car guy/girl they will have a list of all PMs and service. Ask to see the list or check online via the VIN. That will tell you a lot about how it was taken care of. Aside from that drive the car to your mechanic and pay them to do a thorough inspection to see how looks. All of that will tell you if it's worth it or not. Keep in mind that the factory warranty for the power train ended at 100k so there's no warranty on anything.

The used car market is insane now. If you really want the SRT then go for it but if you can wait a bit then prices will come back down

If that’s what u want go for it !!!

i'm glad that my videos are reaching Australia and i'm glad that you enjoy the content. The headers will definitely open up the sound on that exhaust and make it louder. I was worried that headers with this exhaust would be too loud. As for the tune that's a must too. What you have should make for a great daily. Good power and fun, but not strictly a drag car either. As for other options, how warm does the car run? You may want to consider getting a 180 t-stat as part of the tune. Keep the engine cool and maximize your HP. As for the injen intake I'm curious to see how well that works for you, that has a metal intake pipe doesn't it? Are you protecting that from heat soak?

Straight SRT8 thanks very much for the reply mate. We are heading into cooler weather but I will definitely look into the having the car run cooler. The intake at this stage is nice but not sure how if any hp gains really. I often feel that it’s hard to improve on the stock unit other than a drop in. We have a good tuner here that getting great results. Will let you know what it gets with the better flowing cats.

@@dspada67 just had another idea. Did you bore out your throttle body? If not then you can hit up fastman. He will bore a stock TB out to get you a little more power. I don't recommend a new TB or a large bore since you don't have supporting mods yet for it, but definitely look into his options.

@@StraightSRT8 scratch my last reply. I found the fastman you mean. Cheers.

@@dspada67 hey mate, i'm from western australia too and am in the market for a 2014-2015 srt. just wondering how many km yours had/has on it, and how much you reckon is a good amount/too much. cheers

It's all good, I'm too dumb to be a doctor or pharmacist. I'm just an engineer who thinks he knows a lot.

@@StraightSRT8 It is good to know engineers can afford a SRT :)

Depends on what you like. Do you want a better sound system or louder exhaust, maybe more power? Do what makes you happy, make it unmistakably yours.

@@StraightSRT8 i’m going to install subs in it as i have it in my old car, i’ve been thinking to tune it. do you have any recommendations?

@@drec3575 your best bet is a custom tune. jerseyboy@comcast.net is a phenomenal tuner

@@StraightSRT8 thanks ! i’ll keep you updated on the car progress

What mods yours come with that put it at 500? Just a tune?

My best average is 19.5 and that's in 8 cyl mode but with 20/80 split city/ highway. My average MPG with a 50/50 split for everyday driving is 17

@@StraightSRT8 not too bad in my opinion 50/50. Have you tried a better MPG with bigger tires? I tried this in my Cherokee 4.0 1989, when normally it uses 235/75R15 and I changed to 31x10.5 and MPG improved a little

@@MrLeopold1975 associating tire diameter with MPG is tricky to do because so many variables are at play. A larger diameter clearly means you go a greater distance per revolution, but it also means the tire usually weighs more which means more rotational mass, which decreases MPG. There's also tire pressure, air temp and terrain to take into account. It sounds like a good thing for me to research and do a video on.

@@StraightSRT8 try this; at least it worked in my Cherokee. Traveling around 610 kilometres, my Cherokee 4.0 consumed 65 litres, even though I didn't realize tires pressure was 25 lbs in all 4 tires when it should have been 40 lbs, my fail... When I inflated them properly, I got even better MPG.... The only and only issue I found out with bigger tires was when coming down from a mountain in normal road; if I used 3rd gear I should now use 2nd gear; then I should drive down a little slower, but beside this, I far prefer bigger tires, and your Jeep SRT 8 will not feel the difference in power... Will wait for your video about this!

@@StraightSRT8 I got the same numbers in my 2016 manufactured Jeep SRT

You got one ?

He drives a Hyundai

He drive a Toyota Prius

He still doesn't have either drives a old rusty pickup with the dash lit up like a Christmas tree 🎄
