That's a pretty heavy car. I've never seen published specs, but a 340hp motor propelling a 4100lb car should be good for somwhere in the low 15's I would think.

Not sure about the actual times, but I bought my wife an RT with the Road and Track Package (it's the Daytona in stealth mode) and it has 350HP w/390lbs torque. For a 4000 lb car it moves and the torque will throw you in your seat. Still love my RX8, but this car will beat it off the line.

I can imagine the SRT8 moving out with it's 425 HP Hemi, because mine moves and it's only 350 HP. Defiantely, no comparison to the RX8 in spirited driving on the highway.

and ever since it's been growing on me constantly, if I could afford another new car I would certainly consider it, not saying I would certainly buy one.. there are alot of other cars out there but it would certainly consider it!

The curb weight of the Magnum and Charger are very close. I was told they utilize the same frames.

IMO it looks best in black. Black 20's with a polished lip, blacked out windows......that's a bad-*** ride.

I am either going to wait for the upcoming challenger, or get a GTO with the Sport Appereance Package in 2008 when the suicide doors and updated interior come out. The GTO is my dream car, but I have to keep an open mind about the challenger.
Right now it is either GTO or Camaro depending on which one is better in 2008-2010.

Kinda odd on the numbers out. Drove from office, south of Dayton OH to our Detroit office. Saw 4 magnum station wagons, and 3 challengers, 0 rx-8s. For what they are thought the magnums and challengers(boss thinks they imitate the new mustang) but think in our area they are showing the new stuff off. we with eights no better tha to take a long trip in th middle of FEB! lol
