What Does SRT Mean?

Muscle car enthusiasts might see the letters SRT attached to some of their favorite sports cars that get plenty of street-legal thrills and power. Remember the Dodge Viper? SRT started as a stand-alone division under Fiat Chrysler Automobiles originally focused on designing and building the Dodge Viper.

What does Dodge SRT mean? It stands for “Street and Racing Technology,” the division produced performance-optimized technology for Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler. Today, the SRT name is consolidated under Dodge, expanding its lineup of performance-oriented vehicles.

What does SRT stand for? Power, muscle, and speed.

With every model it offers, including the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, and Dodge Durango SRT, Street and Racing Technology is all about big horsepower, vaunted performance, and pulse-pounding 0-to-60 times. Suffice it to say, if you love pure muscle performance, an SRT vehicle is what you need.

SRT Vehicles

For decades, many vehicles have carried the SRT name. What began as high-output motors has evolved into a high-performance division of vehicles within the Dodge lineup that includes:

• 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

These vehicles are designed to do more than just go fast (although the Demon is the fastest production car on the planet as of this writing), they feature performance-optimized technology, engineering, and design that give drivers with better control, handling, and braking both on the track and on the street. What does SRT mean? For some car enthusiasts, it stands for a way of life.

Why Buy a SRT?

While the features and options available on any Dodge SRT, of course, vary by model. Drivers can look forward to performance-minded features in any SRT model for sale, including:

• 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 Wheeling 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 in the SRT, meaning you’ll get a beautiful ride every time.

Dodge SRT is a powerhouse that gives drivers more of the speed, dominance, and style they look for in buying a muscle-bound performance car. What does SRT mean? Freedom.
