# Manual-Swapped Dodge Magnum SRT-8 Packs Supercharged 6.4-L Hemi, Costs Just $37K

Are you the sort of person who lusts after uber-fast wagons like the Mercedes-AMG E63 S and [Audi's RS6 Avant](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/31209/2020-audi-rs6-avant-first-drive-review-wagon-ber-alles>) but find that pair too expensive, German, and...automated? Well, today's your lucky day.

Built by [Cleveland Power and Performance](<https://www.clevelandpap.com/06-dodge-magnum-srt-6-4l-hemi-manual-trans-w-supercharger-headers-more/>), this [Dodge Magnum SRT-8](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/29760/these-charger-magnum-mashups-are-proof-that-the-world-needs-a-charger-hellcat-wagon>) has had its stock 6.1-liter Hemi and five-speed automatic transmission swapped out for an even more macho 6.4-liter Hemi V8 and the six-speed manual gearbox from a 2012 [Challenger](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/31115/2020-dodge-challenger-50th-anniversary-hits-peak-boomer-with-new-gold-rush-paint>). Adding in a Procharger supercharger, it apparently makes a healthy 529 horsepower at the wheels and 528 pound-feet of torque when hooked up to the dyno. And instead of the six figures you'd have to cough up to get into the Mercedes or Audi, this 'roided-up Magnum is being sold for just $36,995.

Mind you, 37 grand gets you quite a bit more than just a Magnum with a beefier powertrain and an extra pedal. The American super-[wagon](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/29035/heres-every-wagon-that-you-can-still-buy-new-in-the-united-states>) has been fitted with BC Racing adjustable coilovers, [Hellcat](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/30262/2020-dodge-charger-srt-hellcat-widebody-review-the-joy-of-aging-gracefully>) Brembo brakes that've had their calipers painted orange, custom-painted Hellcat wheels, and aftermarket exhaust components from Kooks and Billy Boat. Sporting a complete repaint, most of this car is, in fact, a 2006 Dodge Magnum but Mopar nerds will likely notice that it's had its front end swapped out for the facelifted fascia from a 2008 model.

Now, I'm not personally a big muscle car guy, but I love this. I want this. I love the low-and-long surfboard shape. I love the wheels. I love how it sounds. I even love the legally-dubious tinted taillights. Snatch it up before we do.
