my buddies Magnum RT

with 22's and borla exhaust. i drove it for ~ 10 miles today. it was fun, it feels really large even though it isn't any longer than a cl-s. didn't feel any faster than my car either. definately a head turning machine.

Looks nice, the Magnum is one of the best looking wagons out there.

I almost got one instead of the TSX, but then I realized it's a Dodge (I was coming from an Intrepid)

matt, you sure about those dimensions? I have a hard time believing that the Magnum is only the same length as a CL...

It looks good, btw.

Yea but I bet your parent's station wagon didn't have a HEMI.

I'm still amazed at how well those Dodges accept big wheels. I mean 22s are huge for a car, yet they look just right on that Dodge.

hmm lol would of thought it was faster...Its Really a Shame that Dodge is refusing to bolt that HEMI onto a Manual Tranny... Hopefully they at least offer that w/ the Charger...might be its only redeming factor

Its a cool car...I thought about it at one point...Figured black w/ tinted windows...5.7 L HEMI... I/H/E... some gunmetal rims.... whooh

Did he drop the car? It really looks nice. I'd like to know what mods he has besides 22" wheels and Borla exhaust.

what do you think my car is a slouch?


the magnum runs low to mid 14's stock ( i thought i heard very high 13's, but )

add those 75lb wheel/tire assemblies and it's probably a high 14 sec car. i think i would have pulled on him.

That's pretty clean.

I would take the station wagon over a mini van.

True...Those wheels defenutly dont help him... I was more thinking Honda Engine Vs a HEMI... But this 5.7 cant hold a Candle to a 426...

5.7 L HEMI? This thing will drink more liquid than a bull elephant.
This car will look good for showing off down the blvd. For all the Bentley wannbes.

Wait till the SRT-8 Magnum comes out, it'll be a low 13 second wagon.
