Part of the fun of driving these big-engined vehicles is the feeling of power you get when you mash the throttle. Despite the colder weather, the tires (summers at that) hooked up without much trouble. In fact, during our time with both cars, grip was rarely an issue, even under wide-open throttle. What really struck us, besides the accelerative force on a WOT run, was just how usable the power in the SRTs was. Even with a 6000-rpm horsepower peak and a 4300-rpm torque peak, there’s so much juice in the lower part of the rev range, that both the Charger and 300 are very easy to drive around town.
