Replying to: xtec (Jun 23, 2006 3:51 pm) Your 3.5L 24-valve V-6 is a completely different animal than my elephant wannabe. It is far more critically tuned, breathes better, and delivers more hp/litre than my motor (215 hp for your 3.5L V-6 vs 266 hp for my 5.7L V-8). Therefore, it would be natural that you would see better economy than I, especially when we consider that your final drive ratio is 3.15:1, rather than my 2.88:1. The lower (mechanically) ratio of your diff allows your engine to move your car with less load than mine, yet another fuel-saving feature I do not posses. Thanks for your input.

Replying to: used2bfast (Jun 24, 2006 4:29 pm) It sure lost a lot of hp at the rear wheels, why? Normally you lose 15% which would be 340x0.85=289hp and for the V6 it would be 250x0.85=213hp, correct? Also, I am pretty sure that a car with a ratio of 3.15:1 will consume more gas than a car with a 2.88:1. I could be wrong but that was what I had read a few years ago.

A Dallas based radio talk show on the auto industry reported last Saturday that in 2 weeks Chrysler will start a new "employee discount" sales promotion on virtually all Chrysler products! The commentator specifically said it DOES include the Chrysler 300 series, so one would assume it will apply to the Charger as well. I've been debating when to purchase a new R/T, so I'm certainly going to check it out in a couple weeks myself. |

Replying to: steir (Jun 20, 2006 1:10 pm) The car is great except for the cruise control location and the fact that I hit the parking brake with my foot. One tire has gone out of round according to the dealer so he rotated it to the rear, but I can still feel a vibration. Probably need a new tire. |

A national personal finance magazine is looking to interview consumers who own a car which has cylinder deactivation technology and is happy/unhappy with the fuel mileage it receives. Please send an e-mail to ctalati edmunds.com no later than Monday, July 3, 2006 by 2:00 PM PST/5:00 EST containing your daytime contact information and what car you own. Thanks, Chintan Talati Corporate Communications Edmunds.com |
