RE: dodge magnum.... quick?
My friend has a Magnum RT. An 05+ Mustang will beat it. We race each other alot and on a drag I usally get about a car's length but he's able to keep up. Now on a road he usally beats me but mostly because he's crazier and I don't want to die.

If you notice, it's priority isn't it being a muscle car, it's a commuter car they stuck a big motor in drum up sales...and guess what? It worked. So I'll hand it to Dodge for that. Now when the Challenger comes out, it'll probably be heavy too since it's based on the same platform, so you can talk then. 
Proof?

Sometimes I think the new Charger/Magnum somehow went horribly wrong. It seems they put weight as a low-priority focus. Too bad, really. If it weighed in more like the 'Stang, it'd be that much more killer. It's still a friggen brick on wheels.

RE: dodge magnum.... quick?
Why does everyone have a problem with the SRT8 vehicles being faster than a stock Mustang GT? The real comparison vehicles are the R/T Charger to a Mustang GT.......Mustang GT wins. The SRT8 vehicles are over $40K the last time I checked. That would put them in GT500 country (once the early adopters stop wasting the extra $20K over sticker). I am pretty sure the GT500 will waste a SRT8 anything any day of the week.
Can we at least agree on that???

RE: dodge magnum.... quick?
The only true race from a “roll†is if you’re doing more then a few laps on an oval or road course track. Otherwise it’s not racing but just playing…
If someone wants to know who “really†has the fastest/quickest (two completely different things) vehicle then you start from 0 mph and use a visual signal.
Honking a horn 3 times or any other goofy thing is not racing, it’s just playing around and nobody knows who truly has the fastest/quickest vehicle, that’s just how it is in reality…
Racing from a roll goes hand in hand with “ricer fly-byâ€â€¦

Check out any hemi boards about boost on an srt-8 they are all breaking under boost. That is the only reason why we haven't boosted our srt-8 magnum. Check out the mopar forums.

I own an srt-8 magnum, along with a mustang gt and my dad just bought a gt500. We were gonna put a s/c on the srt-8 until I read about them blowing up under boost. They have the same problems with the pulleys, most manufacturers pulled out their line of pulleys for the 5.7 and 6.1 engines.
