So i was on my way home from the gf's house around 7 in the morning. I was on the L.I.E. and this really nice looking Dodge Magnum pulls up next to me, it was black with full tint and had red 20s on it. At first I though it was a R/T but then i noticed it had one exhaust tip. It had a modded exhaust too. After a min i down-shifted and started taping on the gas. After a few time i heard him slam on it. I did a 3rd gear pull at 70. After i hit 90 i was in front of him and at 110 I had a half a car on him. I shut it down after that. Right before I got off on my exit his passenger lowered the window to listen to what i had. i yelled its just an inake , no supercharger here; then i took off.

if it kept up, probably a 3.5L, although they do come in 2.7L too.

I raced one with a SC on it ... I dies and a brand new rebuilt hemi

Nice kill!! Although I've heard of the 3.5's running in the mid 15's, so this might have been a 2.7.

PRND3L

yeah, the majority of people who put big rims on the LX cars are base models.

nice kill mike

You'd be quite surprised at what there are around here. I've seen SRT-8's and many R/T's with 20+ inch rims.

the dealership i work at, 90% are 2.7 or 3.5, i havent seen any SRTs with aftermarket wheels.

BTW, i work at WI largest chrysler dealer.

Again, you would be surprised at what people around here do to their cars.

PRND3L

i have seen some wild **** in my time at the dealer.

FutureEcotecOwner

Well I live in a decently sized City where everyone thinks they're gangster and cool because they have big rims. Really sad to see sometimes actually, because it's where I live and hope to raise my family.

about a year ago i raced a 300 with a V6 and beat it, i still dont know what it was though a 2.7 or 3.5 though.

FutureEcotecOwner

I guess I can understand making a 3.5 v6 in the Magnums, Chargers and 300s, but I just dont see why a 2.7 was put in them.

PRND3L

alot of rental cars are 2.7L

FutureEcotecOwner

Even if they are, why a 2.7? That's 4 different engine options for one car, I just dont get it, especially in a Magnum, 300 or Charger. Either way I dont care because I will never own one of those cars.

PRND3L

because instead of offering a larger line of vehicles like GM, chrysler offers different trim levels, so instead of offering 7 different sheet metal options, its the same car with different trim, i think they offer 7 different trim levels for the 300

i wouldnt even count the SRT because that isnt as prevolent as the other 3 engines.
