What Does SRT Mean?

If you’ve been paying attention to the Dodge brand for a while, you’ve seen or heard the acronym SRT thrown around more than a few times. But what does SRT mean? Once a stand-alone division under Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, SRT stands for “Street and Racing Technology.” Now consolidated under Dodge, SRT refers to its lineup of performance-oriented vehicles enhanced with big horsepower such as classics like the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, and Dodge Durango SRT. Street and Racing Technology was developed during production of the Dodge Viper to designate a special set of vehicles outfitted with some of the most impressive performance specs. Now that we are familiar with the meaning of SRT, let’s dig into specific vehicles that are equipped with SRT.

Dodge SRT Models

All SRT vehicles exude heart-pounding specs and power, making it hard to pick just one favorite, so when you are faced with the decision of which model to choose, lean toward yur must-haves first. Remember, these vehicles were designed to do more than just go fast they feature performance optimized technology and design that gives drivers better control, better handling, and better braking both on the track and on the street.

What started simply as high-output motors has evolved into a high-performance subgroup of super-charged cars in the Dodge lineup including the models below:

• Dodge Challenger SRT
• Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
• Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye
• Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
• Dodge Charger SRT
• Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
• Dodge Durango SRT

Why Buy a Dodge SRT Model?

If you’re a muscle car enthusiast then you already know why buying a Dodge SRT model is a good idea, but for those who are still on the fence, here’s a few performance-minded features you can expect from any SRT model to make your decision making process a bit easier:

• HEMI Engines: Each SRT Trim is powered by a monstrous Supercharged HEMI® V8 engine. From the modest 475-hp and 470 lb-ft of torque producing Dodge Durango to the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye that puts out a dominating 797-hp and 707-lb ft of torque, each vehicle is focused on one thing: speed.
• Brembo Braking: The Dodge SRT sports high-performance Brembo calipers and slotted brakes to take the heat and give serious stopping power on both the track and Columbus, GA streets.
• Aerodynamics: Years of thought and attention have gone into the SRT exterior design to make these vehicles more aerodynamic for better, smoother handling. Many SRT vehicles include spoilers, air induction hoods, wide-body styling, and other modifications designed to reduce drag and improve handling.

At the end of the day, SRT is a powerhouse that gives drivers access to more of the speed, dominance, and style they look for in buying a muscle-bound performance car. So now that the question “what does SRT stand for?” has been answered, it’s time to get behind the wheel of a SRT powered vehicle yourself.
