What could be more fun than running away from guy's in $120,000.00 Porsche's than doing it in this? You know how much it pi$$es them off when you do it to them in a 5000lb truck. I would really like to see the faces of the guy's at the Drivers Edge...."Jerry, where is your truck"?....."sold it, this is my twisty car now"!

http://www.dodge.com/magnum/ The R/T of course.


If parts were available to lower and make this baby handle I would buy it as my next project. A blower and some handling parts and it could be a fun track /street car daily driver. I hate Dodge and I really hate station wagons but this one is the first cool S/W since the Nomad! Chevy Nomad is one of the coolest cars ever. How many S/W's can say that? I bet after some of the custom shops get through with some of these they are going to be tight! If you have not seen one in person then you don't really know how low they are. Maybe I'm the only one but I like it and I think it has potential......it is still a Dodge though!

Flame suit on.

I totally agree with you... I think the Magnum is a very nice looking ride - even for a wagon, and especially for a Dodge...

It almost looks like it has a chopped top from the factory...

 

My Dad is retired from Chrysler, and he swear next year the Magnum will be available with a 450 hp supercharged Hemi. If this is true, I may pick one up.

 

It is neat looking for a SW....The v-8 and that the cars looks like the roofline is chopped makes it look cool... Another flame suit donned...

 

I was just reading about it and an auto is the only choice with the Hemi


If they do come out with a 450 H/P RT I will be out of the L business for a while. Only problem.....few aftermarket parts!


Jerry

 

You can always just get a Gen 3

 

Give it 2 years and then buy a used one. By then you'l have the aftermarket parts, and the r/t can probably be had for $20k or less.

Thats my plan anyway...

 

IRS in the rear, near 50/50 weight dist. and a four link rear suspension.

(I can't believe I'm drooling over a Dodge station wagon! Oh, well... F*ck it! )
