My Buddy's new Dodge Magnum!

My friend took me for a ride in his new Dodge Magnum today. He put a Borla exhaust on it as well as 20 inch wheels with 255/50/20 Nitto tires. That hemi power is serious stuff! I'm not sure how much power the Borla exhaust added, but the sound was awesome! Vortech will be installing a supercharger in it this week as well! Here's one picture of the bad boy...



See all 8 pictures here:

My seat of the pants meter says that it would dust my Acura TL Type S and my Volvo S60 R. Just press the gas pedal and it goes. My friend says that after he puts in the supercharger it will have over 400 HP and do 0-60 in the 4's...

is an SC available yet? I've heard they are having placement issues cause it's a super tight compartment. How does the exhaust sound?


This WILL be my next car, I can't wait to tow my suburban behind it.

Unfortunately I think those rims look absolutely horrible on the car though. It feels fast cause it has a shit load of torque, btu I wouldn't be suprised if it's just about as fast as your TL and S60.

My friend who owns this Magnum is friends with the guy who started Vortech. They will be using his car as the prototype. The Borla sounds awesome! It is definitely on the loud side. You can certainly hear him as he drives away...

I am considering replacing my 2001 BMW M Coupe with a Magnum.

The Z3 coupes are hot! The new magnum is nice, but the 300C is sweet!

The wheels look awful but I love that wagon . I've never seen white, what a nice wagon. To hell with a SUV. Sweet deal.

Saw one of these today and talked to the owner a bit. I'm not too impressed. Looks like a squashed Durango.

Sounds like nice upgrades... But I deplore Chrysler products (quality issues), esp Dodge. They do look squashed. The new Durango is something else.

On the bright side, sounds like it'll haul ass.
