I love the Magnum SRT 8. This is a damn nice car. I currently drive a 2006 Magnum R/T AWD with a 6.1 transplant. The car has tons of mods from a camshaft upgrade, intake, exhaust, interior, and much much more. This car has done no wrong. I had a couple of quirks here and there that were covered by warranty. But in the end, it was well worth it.
These cars are beasts! I got the hemi R/T version and even that one is freakishly fast and torqy. Amercian cars has come a long way and now I'm a fan of American muscle. I used to be into the Japanese and Euro but with these 400+ hp cars with retro design, they got me hooked. My next car will be the new 2011 5.0 cuz of the amazing engine. In the mean time I love and enjoy my Hemi Magnum.
I had the first 2004 RT model and drove over 130,000 miles without any problems. In 2008 I got the last model RT with AWD and have now 88,000 miles, plus 12 speeding tickets.... I intend to keep this car in perfect condition and drive it until either I or she conks out first. Regards, Klaus Pohl. What a shame that the Americans don't like station wagons!
I had my 2005 Dodge Magnum RT AWD I can't say enough about it. It's a amazing American Muscle. It will never get old to me. Great Driver even. And it is a limited car. A lot of Mechanics try to hustle me out of it. I know what I have. Not happening.
Of course, you could make really good quality garbage cans with that stuff. Now, that said, he is right in one thing; the thing is solid,,will last forever. An ubreakable everlasting garbage can interior.
Love this car. Have had mine for almost 9 years, and still drives like the day I bought it new. Fortunately mine was built really well and not one major issue, other than routine maintenance it's been a very reliable car , even though it's a Dodge. lol
Haha. I loved that random pop quiz. That truly was a unique car. Never heard or seen of it. Anyway, very nice review. One day I hope I to have enough money for an SRT8. I love this Magnum but the Grand Cherokee is just my dream car.
It's not about intelligence. If you have some, you should know the fact that a human mind forget things after around 4 years unless it's repeated. Some things do the mind remember even longer, but that's a different story. However, this kind of forgetting is more about a temporary confused state when your regular routines are interrupted by something unexpected, like buttons are awkward or other unusual things.
Hello Chris Moran, answering the Pop Quiz, that car is a Qvale Mangusta. I've seen quite a few of them on a trip to Italy last summer but I never catch a glimpse here in the USA.. Hope I can have your Magnum for this Pop Quiz, haha have a great day..
@blackberryboldjeff I stand corrected you are right about the Lamborghini,however the Maserati quattroport was turbo and in production until 2001.don't wish to beat a dead horse with ya., wasn't sure what years of ferraris/lambos you were speaking of .I like European cars too ,.so not insinuating that I dis those cars.just partial to Detroit/mo par and that there has been great cars and great motors built from here.,and still are.wont deny that some quality has suffered .
Take a glass of beer, drink it. Take another glass of beer and drink that too. Now someone gives you a glass of water but you expect a beer. You start to drink it and you get very confused about it, you even spit it out. What's new about this then? You've been drinking water before, so why would you be confused about this glass of water? Confusion...
@ambersstar1 im not talking about power here , but if im comparing cars i'd take the impala SS it looks better it feels better and its just beautiful again im just expressing my personal opinion :)
@blackberryboldjeff hey (dude) so what if they do? lambos put out 400 + too ,but they are twin turbo ed,and by the way they cost well over 125,000 dollars! you got that kinda money go ahead a buy one.you are comparing apples to oranges!A little history lesson what car set the daytona speed record in the late 60s? thats right a DODGE CHARGER with a detroit hemi !!!! nuff said!!
@ambersstar1 What modern day Lambo is a twin-turbo? I think the last turbo Italian was the Ferrari F40. Saying I was norn in the 80's I guess I'm too ignorant to appriciate the history of American cars...American cars haven't made any history in the last 30 years though...
Neither really. It's really really easy to get spoiled for not having to do small things. Imagine like a few years ago when u had to remember peoples phone numbers. I seriously cannot remember one persons phone number anymore. It's the way with turning a key for the engine.. i like, forgot how to do it...
I hate how plasticy these american cars are, especially those from Chrysler, but I'd still fancy one of these. If this car was a human, it'd be Arnold Schwarzenegger back in the 1980's.
