Middle Man Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 So I'm researching new cars and the Dodge Magnum RT (or maybe the SXT) looks quite appealing. Does the Benoverse Knowledgebase have any good information or experience on said vehicle? http://www.dodge.com/magnum/ Many thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I like the Charger, Magnum and the new Challenger...all look really cool and run like a stripped ape.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Contact Nolan on the forums. He drives his like he stole it (literally...and I'm seriously not exagerating here). I think he's approached light speed. For sure in the Warp Factor 6 range. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpl Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 What do you want to know? I'm driving one and love it! Very comfortable car, goes fast, turns good and stops quick! MDS works seamlessly. Gets about 17mpg mixed town and freeway and 22-23 on trips. Have had 2 minor issues - the strap that lifts the floor in back broke and they replaced the entire floor section and the gasket between the liftgate and the spoiler is working it's way out and they are replacing that. One of the funnest and most comfortable vehicles I've ever owned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooter Grrl Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 We drove a rented one of the 4th of July weekend, sucked gas like it was O2 - worse mpg than my truck! The AC system sucked - never really cooled off. Other than that, it's FAST and quite fun! Not as sneaky as say, a CTS-V, but we still caught some snots off guard as they were looking at the back end of a station wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT Driver Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 A shooting buddy of mine let me drive his Magnum R/T. Quick but not fast like Mustang or older muscle cars. Handles well too. Good brakes. He really likes his R/T and has had 0 problems with it. It's kind of strange. Kind of like an old big block station wagon that handles with an interior like a Cadillac. A paradox. Waiting on the '07 Challenger R/T!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) I got an SXT in Spet 2004 and I really like the car. My only complaint is that the first year I had it I was unique on the road but now my Magnum has become the prefered vehicle of the ghetto sleders.

M.E.Anglin Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Times have changed...when people call station wagons and four door family cars,"mucle cars" I think it was an injustice to call it a "Charger" saw a bare bone 3.5,3.6? yesterday, licence plate bracket said "Michell's General Lee", I'm thinking not even close...... I like the fact they are bringing the Challanger back, 2 door, hot rod,,,yea!!!! Oh, my mucle car is a 2000 Z/28 315HP+ 6 speed and 30 mpg (when I keep my foot out of it) and goes like a bat out of hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Good choice...the Z is a nice car.... Mine is a bit older....'66 Vette...blew the original motor..now running 502 crate...no 6 speed...M-22 Muncie...and don't get 30 mph..more like 8mpg when I keep my foot out of it.....LOL but it puts 500+ ponies at the wheels.. The Goodyear guy knows me by my first name.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
