Looking good

I've been keeping my eye on these Dodge Magnums. My car is about ready to die, and I like the way these look. They look like they got a nice fell to them. Has anyobody ridden in one or driven one?

I haven't personally but my dad's friend drove one of the V-6's...he liked it a lot but he said it could use more power...HEMI.

You can get it with a HEMI though, right? I'm really getting interested in this car b/c of its looks. It looks like a new style of SUV that could catch on. What do you think?

I bought a Magnum SXT a few weeks ago and it is great. I opted for the SXT with the 3.5L V6 instead of the Hemi for fuel economy and less maintenance. The 3.5L V6 has good power. The car rides good and is very quiet on the inside. Sadly, I live in Canada and now that there is snow the Magnum is resting quietly in my garage until Spring. I want to keep it in mint condition.

That's too bad about the snow. I like the choice for fuel economy though. I'm hoping this style catches on as a new SUV type look. I think it looks amazing and would love to see more of these on the streets.

AWD now available! I've driven one, they are sweet.

When did you get to drive one? How was it? I'm trying to get as much info as I can before I go out there and get one. Man, I think these cars are looking good.

About 2 months ago I stopped by my friendly Dodge Dealer. Drove the 250HP V6, had good power, very smooth, seating position great and very comfortable; with tilt/telescope steering could adjust steering to fit me just right. Plenty of headroom (I'm 6'4") and legroom, I had to move the seat forward some to reach the pedals. Handled very well, though didn't want the sales guy to get upset. Go take a drive, all it costs is time!

Hmmm, I work for dodge and I haven’t even herd of them coming out with a AWD magnum... much less seen or driven one.

Funky....I've seen ads, and the website shows AWD can now be ordered.

I haven’t seen ads but I looked at the site now and yes... hmmm it would be nice for them to tell us this. Before they start selling them... where do you live? I am in Texas that might be why we haven’t gotten them yet. Mmm AWD HEMI power that would be sweet...

I was surprised that you didn't know. I'm in Virginia near Richmond.....if it's like any other marketing scheme, they likely start in high density markets (NY, LA, DC) with new stuff. We're close enough to DC to get the same advertising I guess.

Hemi. AWD. Do I smell performance mods coming?

well Hennessey had a single turbo for the HEMI that made 500hp but it was 25G for the 75-100HP and I don’t think anyone got it.

That's a bit stout, almost doubles the price of the vehicle. Not in my range.

Of course, some rich guy will get it, after all (from "Mad Max"): "How fast you wanna go? All it is, is a matter of money!"

ya i think it should only be like 5-6 grand, turbo 2, ex 2, ecu 1, testing?

OK, sounds better, now affordable for us mere mortals.

Time to go rice hunting. :D

That's great man. I'm 6'4" too, so it's nice to know that I'll be able to fit comfortably in there. I'm definitely gonna go give one of these a test drive. I like that it rides smooth. i will really be looking to see what sorta power I can get outta the HEMI.

I wish it would only be that much... well hafto see I dont know of anything you can do to the hemi right now. maby a power programer soon

Although 345 ain't too bad; I guess I could live with it for awhile. :)

well they are talikng about a SRT-8 300C and mag that should have the 6.1 HEMI sporting 425

OK, ya twisted my arm. I'll take 425 please. Be nice to get into a Mopar wagon again (last one was a 77 volare, 4spd manual on the floor).

Check out the picture I found of this one: pic (http://www.media-file.net/Images/dm/MagnumPic1.png) It looks like someone souped this one up pretty nice.

ok here are some concept SRT-8 pics from VOI-8

Okay, you win! Your pics are btter than mine. How amazing does that HEMI look in the last picture? It looks like a beast. I want this sooo bad.

The dealership near me has AWD magnums...and we are buying one... the SXT though, my mom doesnt think she needs a HEMI to get her to work haha

we test drove it the other day a very nice car to drive in

I own a Magnum R/T with a hemi and I love it!!! Rides beautiful and is quiet inside, (until you crank the stereo). Plenty of room, front and rear. Not alot of aftermarket add ons though yet. Although I have ESP (traction control) it will slip and spin as I found out, in the snow. Fuel mileage is averaging 18 around town with some highway driving.

if you have seen some of my other posts I have found a exaust for the RT.

Nobody is gonna pay that much money for that exhaust you found. It's way too much. I hope people are smart enough to go with custom built.

Not looking to change exhaust. Found some chrome pieces for looks, but I like the dark look mine has through the window area. They have a nice Viper hood to go with it, looks sharp. I was looking for an air deflecter or something to help keep the back window cleaner. It gets dusty real quick, even on the highway.
