You are in the Dodge Magnum Forum. Your Host is caliberchic
The Magnum is being discontinued this year, so I am going to buy one that is on the new or used lot, or have one built, if it's not too late. My favorite color is Silver Steel, which is not in the '08 lineup. Other choices are Steel Blue, Inferno Red, or Black. I do a fair amount of traveling in the mountains of MD and PA in the winter, thus targeting an SXT AWD for gas mileage and traction. I saw some info on the Forum which indicated that the 3.5 can be hopped up. I also heard some concerns about handling characteristics of AWD. I need advice on all of these subjects. It's too bad that Chrysler tends to drop its unique cars as a response to ineffective marketing. The Magnum epitomized Chrysler's superior technology and progressive design. - Tekno1

I have since discovered for myself how great the traction is. I can stop on an icy hill, and then just start up again. It is amazing (this with all-weather radials). The only thing that I don't like about the car is the unbelievably bad gas mileage (see my other post). (Speaking about traction, before the snow hit, I tried flooring the accelerator from a standing start on clean, dry pavement. I expected a little squeal, or perhaps a chirp. Not a sound from the tires. The hemi just revs up and the car jumps off of the line like a scalded cat). |

Replying to: budw (Jan 28, 2008 10:48 am) So mine was one of the early 2006s. I was a little uneasy re the age of the new car (27 miles on the clock). In addition to drygas, I added injector cleaner and gasoline stabilizer to the tank. |

| Sorry, I've been away from the forum for a while. I only notice the CAI on accelleration. No moaning otherwise. It is supposed to add 10bhp and 1mpg better gas mileage, but I can't verfiy those claims. It sounds GREAT! | |
