MATT... Your one liners kill me sometimes...

"Since it was jammed in to the holder it didn't really budge when I shifted which caused the car to bobble and take the turn with the grace of a dieing elephant."

lol. well I've never been in the cabin of a 240, but I know my ashtray doubles as a cupholder... also the compartment behind the shifter can hold a few drinks...


Yea, I heard those HEMI's were over powered... I just wish dodge would put their money where there mouth is with those HEMIs...

The SRT-8's are a low 13/high 12 car. Guy here in NJ ran a 12.9@109 with a stock SRT-8 300, like 500 miles on the car. The SRT-8 Charger is supposed to be a couple hundred pounds lighter than the 300, should be nice when it comes out this fall. Not to shabby for four door family cars.

But I do agree that the Hemi is over-hyped, if one more person asks me if my truck has a Hemi, I think I'm gonna hit 'em

If somebody asks you again if you have a Hemi just reply "Nah, I wanted to go fast."

Yup you heard right the 6.1 L hemi has 425 HP and 420 TQ. Car and Driver tested a Magnum SRT8 and compared it with the numbers from a road test 69 Road Runner with a Hemi. Here's the numbers.

Plymouth Road Runner
426 CID (7.0L) Hemi
Weight: 3938 pounds
0-60: 5.1
1/4 mile: 13.5 @ 105

Dodge Magnum SRT8
370 CID (6.1L) Hemi
Weight: 4379 pounds
0-60: 5.1
1/4 Mile: 13.6 @ 106

The Magnums are the heaviest of the 3 LX bodies, the 300C is about 100 or so pounds lighter and the Charger the lightest of them all. Theoretically it could be possible a Charger SRT8 might make high 12's or a very solid 13 flat still fast by todays standards but respectable considering the mass. I just wish they would ditch the 2.82 gearing and put some decent performance gears in them to help them behemoths get some better accelleration.

Yea yea... But this way, I can tell people to ditch the drinks. I hate people that want to bring drinks everywhere..."oh, I can hold my drink between my legs!" No you can't. It will still be here on the ground when you get back.lol

Man I got a cup holder right behind the stick in the SRT-4...it sucks that they are killing my car and replacing it with a Shitty hatch back that isnt as fast.

matt even car and driver said it, if it aint the 6.1 srt-8 charger it's not even worth buying.
now i saw in i think it was motor trend that in 07 theres gonna be a Dodge Challenger coming out. with the 6.1 425hp 420lb being the standard motor in it.and its 2door they Might have the 5.7 in it but officials are talking about olny allowing the 6.1 in the Challenger

[-The Stig-]

They better do something, that 5.7L Hemi dude dawg bro! Isn't cutting the mustard.

Apparently, the people who designed my Prelude

I believe it was R&T or Motortrend that tested a 2006 Charger R/T with Road/Track Performance Group. It hit 60mph in 5.6 seconds which is pretty impressive. I think the four doors would be a little bit easier to forget about if there was a 6-speed manual offered!

[Underground_Killah]

a bit off topic, but where's the info on the new us 240?

[gti1689]

yeah screw the "regular" hemi motors. the only new dodge, w/a a hemi, that i would buy is the charger/300c srt-8. i think those look downright sexy with the large wheels, and they actually put out in terms of acceleration. a lighter cadillac cts-v w/400 horsepower and a manual was only like a tenth ahead of the 300c at the end of the quarter mile. btw, both ran low 13's at about 109.
