Note...
 
I did not say, conclude, that North-South would ALWAYS mean RWD, only that East-West always meant FWD...

What I'm getting from your post is that you are saying all FWD have East-West mounting and I'm saying they don't.

What I was trying to say, and maybe wasn't direct enough, is that East-West engine mounting almost ALWAYS means FWD or front torque biased AWD.

Oh, I see...
 
"Research indicated the charger SRT-8 engine is actually North-to-South and RWD just as it should be."
 
It was to my intent to indicate that North/South engine mounting meant RWD "just as it should be". I was trying to say that with 425HP it was RWD just as it should be.
 
Also, I take the position that FWD or front biased AWD can be so hazardous in wintertime conditions that they should be outlawed.

I have a Charger so I don't have FWD anymore.And I didn't see anything wrong with FWD car with a north south engine mounting.As far as outlawing FWD for winter driving is your opinion .The AWD would out drive my Charger in the snow there is no doubt.

A quick question by marsha7

that may seem stupid, so please bear with the ignorant...
 
Is the Charger basically a Chrysler 300 but not as fancy, or are they really different underneath???...i.e.chassis, etc.
 
Thanks...

Marsha, the 300 (at least 2006 and beyond) and Charger ARE built on the same Chassis (which is a Mercedes chassis) and also have same engine options...
 
I think the Charger looks more "Sporty", while the 300 looks more "Classy"...

300, Charger, Magnum: These are the same car underneath. (Mercedes type rear suspension, Intrepid type front suspension). Rear drive both (AWD available on 300) all The differences: Charger has a slightly larger trunk, more curves in the sheet metal. The degree of "fanciness" depends on the level of each car. While the 300 is generally more luxurious, the Charger can be made nearly as luxurious. I have a 300C (the smaller V8 hemi model--the SRT8 is the bigger V8) which has a good bit of fancy stuff standard--like electric steering wheel tilt, 2 position driver seat memory, etc. Now two years old with 23,000 miles--only problem was a transmission leak from a sensor that plugs into the transmission. Fixed in an hour by dealer.
 
Base 300 comes with a 2.7 liter V6 (not available in Charger)
300 Touring and Limited and Charger SXT come with 3.5 liter
V6.
 
300C and Charger RT come with 5.7 liter hemi
 
300CSRT8 and Charger SRT8 and Super Bee come with 6.1 liter hemi.

Dual Exhaust SXT -Xtec by batista

Xtec-You were mentioning you have dual exhaust on your SXT.
How do you like it? What brand? Is it a true dual or split? I am considering buying these http://www.hottexhaust.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=16936
but worried about drone. The sample clip sounds good but needed some advice.
