Dodge Magnum

[OUMike]

Hey guys, my girlfriend is having some work done to her Ford (thats really funny in itself) so they gave her a Dodge Magnum for a renter.

 

I gotta say fellas. I was very impressed with the fit and finish. The car was quiet, road nice and the ergonomics were just about right. The build quality of the car seemed to pretty good.

 

I was very very surprised with this car. It had the 3.5L V6, and seemed to have pretty good power. The only thing I didn't really like was the throttle response seemed to be a little slow.

 

Kinda makes me wanna go check out a Ram. Any Ram owners or former Ram owners? I'm talkin' post-Daimler merger Ram.

I haven't driven a new Ram, but I've raced against a Hemi Magnum with my '98 Grand Prix GTP...that little blown V6 outran that Magnum from 0 to about 75 with no problems...and that was BEFORE I started modding.

You would most likely love the Magnum SRT-8 then.

Yeah those I won't challenge...even though you probably werent directing that statement at me.

I'll go up against anybody I think might be even a little fast. I'll even line up with a Vette...I'll take the butt-whoopin' just to see it go.

I travel a lot for work and get to drive a lot of rentals. Since GM has been "getting out of" the fleet sale business, Chrysler has picked up the slack at our local Enterprise. I've driven the new Grand Cherokee, a Liberty, and a Compass. Of the three I liked the GC the best. But ALL had a smooth, quiet ride, adequate power (all were V-6 models) and got decent fuel economy. The "american" brands are really picking it up. My parents recently bought an '04 Grand Cherokee 4x4, loaded. It's very nice.

 

I've also driven a new 'burb and 'hoe (the '07's) and NOTHING has even come close to how impressed I was driving them.

Hopefully the Silverado's are just as impressive.

Yeah I have an 04 QC 4x4 Hemi Ram, and I have an 02 Ext 4x4 Chevy 5.3 with a waitforme custom tune.

if i were to buy a dodge car, id go for the charger instead of the magnum, better performance (even without the g/t or w/e its called package) and you earn a few more man points because its not a station wagon

The regular Charger R/T is about as fast as mine (or a Mustang)...But the SRT8 version is a f'n monster.

[Chestah]

The SRT-8 Grand Cherokee is quicker than the SRT-10 Ram. That thing must haul.

[Clavin78]

I would only by the challenger if they came out with it...nothing else...unless of course we are talking about some muscle cars

[stumpy]

The new silverados are nice. Like almost to luxorous to use as a truck. Expensive too. But I got to drive one at work. Freaking awesome. Smooth ride, and it was the z71 that I got to drive. Awesome. And the ride stability is good too. You sway from side to side quick and the body roll is a minimum.

I'm finding a lot of the new Dieter mobiles have really cheap looking interior plastics.
