Dodge Magnum RT vs. Stock S2
 
Had a fun run with my just broken-in '04 S2 and a new Magnum RT. It was a smooth 1/4 mile run with the S2 easily taking the RT. Have to admit those beasts are pretty fast but I had him from 2nd gear (car length) forward. He was too embarassed to even look at me at the next light. Heck it is all for fun anyway. I think he had seen the Dodge RT commercial (sports car vs. RT) and thought he had a "real" chance at taking me too. :D

You might have to watch out for the SRT-8 version to be out shortly.

I saw one car mag article that tested it to 0-60 in about 5.6 seconds. Automobile magazine just did a review of the RT Hemi and only got it to do 6.2 or 6.3.

Uh Oh, I smell a manufacturer rebate. I bet the Magnum owner is currently writing a letter to Dodge,



"Dear Sirs,

After viewing your commercial of a Magnum beating a lotus I immediately purchased one. I was really excited to buy a station wagon that can beat a real sports car while hauling my kids and camping gear! But, your commercial fooled me as I was beaten by a Honda S2000. A Four Cylinder!

This is unacceptable. I was clearly missled by your commerical and demand compensation for my bruised ego and stupidity. I would like lifetime oil changes and a full refund."



Anyone remember the law suit with the VW turaeg commercial? The guy who trailored too much weight after seeing the vehicle in the commerical doing it?

Yes, VW did get into a bit of hot water on that one. The Airstream's
weight was within the towing limits. The tongue wieght of the trailer
was a little over VW's specs. It seems also that after that VW changed
the specs. for the SUV just enough so the Airstream was ok.

I don't think the company meant to be misleading though. Now does
any one remember the old Joe Isuzu ads. Now those were misleading! ;)
I almost bought an Impulse because it came with a satelite dish.
