The Magnum is nice, and you are correct, it is indeed "pimped out".


But the Magnum is nothing without the Hemi. Believe me.

This girl I worked with in Rancho Santa Fe had her parents buy her a brand new 06 Charger with the 5.7L Hemi. That thing pulled like a freight train.

Rob probably means 230-240 hp Peace. It's a pointless arguement, since I could drop a Zoomers dual exhaust onto the Magnum for another 25 horses, taking it up to 275, while jacking its fuel economy UP to 26 mpg. Or if I was crazy, I could throw a supercharger into it. I'm not a big mechanic myself but my neighbor runs his own garage and my step-moms boyfriend is a body shop artist. I can easily get some cheap modding done.

Yeah the GTI has faster acceleration than the Magnum. Sure, that's great. But it's not AWD. I could drop the AWD off the Magnum and get the 5.7L Hemi (drool!) but the fuel economy is too low (even with MDS, Chrysler's technology that shuts down half the cylinders for crusing). I'm getting the AWD first and foremost so I can have a reasonably powerful car that WONT fly off the roads. Up here in the snow belt that's important.


EDIT - Oh God. I've found a R/T, that's the Hemi 5.7L V8, for sale only 2 hours away, for 3 grand more. And it's also fully loaded and AWD. God help me.

$24,500 before taxes. What do you guys think?

Sounds like a deal to me

Not to derail the thread but I may as well finally explain.

I bought the car, was happy with it and everything was dandy. About 3 weeks after purchase I discovered that I got assraped. I blame myself, and the criminal car dealer - I came in knowing exactly what I wanted and the prick took advantage of me. After I discovered that, I could not look at the car anymore. I felt like a sucker everytime I sat in the seat even though I loved the car.

So I filed the appropriate complaints and then got rid of the evo for like 9 grand less than I bought it for a week before. Even though I took a hit, I still feel better now and dont feel like a sucker anymore. It was more of a mental thing than anything - I just could not live with myself I got a fully loaded Malibu SS which while not the fastest car on the road is as comfortable as hell and takes off when I need it to.

DOOOOOO EEEET..


And yea, I realise he probably ment horses.... I was in an automatively centered argument mood. My bad.


Edit: Wait, hamma why did you have to sell the car? He stole it?

[Hamma]

This is my exact car, features, color everythin.

[Hamma]

I didn't have to sell it, I just felt like shit even looking at it anymore

[Peacemaker]

But why, all you said was "I got ass raped."

[Hamma]

I got raped for about 6 grand on the evo ;p

[Peacemaker]

ouch. One stop shop eh?

[Hamma]

No lube was provided

[OneManArmy]

so you went from getting raped for 6 grand to selling it and getting raped for 9 grand on top of the 6 grand you already got raped for? isnt that double rape?

[Hamma]

I guess you could call it that

It ends up working out much better in the end though for a bunch of reasons.

Its the kind of mistake you only make once

[OneManArmy]

did the salesman have any candy at his desk? should of taken the whole bowl.

[Electrofreak]

Mannnn... I can't stop looking at that 5.7L Hemi V8 R/T AWD for sale only 2 hours drive away. It's also loaded and listed for 24,500 before tax... but my original maximum was 22 grand. I could possibly push the seller down to 22 and with tax it'll be around 24.

On one side, I'd actually be able to sell the Hemi V8 in a few years if I need to, whereas the V6 would be much harder to get rid of.

I *could* dip into my savings if I really gotta... but I'm supposed to leave those alone so when I'm an old retired dude I can be rich and spend retirement on cruise ships drinking champagne and watching chicks in bikinis splash around in the pool...

*Sigh*

Why can't this ever be easy?

[Hamma]

wts? I don't even have savings for then and I am older than you are. Plenty of time for savings

did the salesman have any candy at his desk? should of taken the whole bowl.
