on TV when it races the Lotus??? I ran into one of those last night coming home from the grocery store. I saw a few cars back in my rearview. Moved around a bit and pulled up next to me. Did a stock exhaust rev at me while were waiting at the red light. I figured he's probably just messing around, guess i was wrong. Green light, he guns it and I just follow thinking should I?? so i go and all the way up to redline on 2nd gear. Looked back to see where he was only to find out he gave up real early on when he realized this wasnt a Dodge tv advertisement.
so a gallon of gas and about 30 car lenghts later i'm laughing my *** off...
Just thought some of you guys might find this funny, i know i did!

 

That is funny, good job on putting him in his place.

 

funny how it shows the lotus what the hemi is all about. but Cant even put a 1.3 in its place



Thats why god gave us turbo-lag. To give V8's a chance

 

so what happens if a v8 has a turbo...?

 

^Then may god help those of us without modded FD's or 20B swaps, because usually people who go through the trouble of turboing a V8 do it RIGHT!

 

that was right along there with the hemi'd jeep cherokee beating up on a 325 and an audi. nice kill

 

^ but that's actually true test results.

 

lets see it beat a S4 or M3

 

I dont need an excuse, but since he asked for it...

 

Yea but they picked the econobox beamer and audi, what do they want a cookie?

 

not to mention they showed them running on an actual "track" like a road course, when what they were comparing was 0-60 numbers lol

 

Are you sure it was the V8 version. They come with a V6 as well.

 

Even in the V8 Hemi version they are nothing impressive. I dont know why the term HEMI invokes such delusions of speed to people, being that there are Minivans with "Hemi" heads but they can't call them that since Dodge owns the registration on the term Hemi when refferencing an engine. Yes, back in the 70s when nothing else had hemispherical heads that was something cool (and Dodge was using 400+ci engines in production cars).

 

CAR AND DRIVER Recorded a 14.7 @97mph QM (new hemi version) which is Turbo II territory. but the new Magnum has 110hp more than the Audi RS4 (440hp). IMO ill still pick the RS4.


Dont mean to bring this up but ill always do! that Chrysler Crossfire Srt-6 is nothing to play with as for top end. (330hp)

 

It didn't race a lotus in the commercial. It raced a kitted MR2 or Fiero. I can't remember which, but I remember Manntis proving this fact when the commercial first came out.

Do a search.

Anyways, I dig the Magnum R/Ts. They are really neat.

 

id rather have the SLK32 AMG

the last RS4 had 380hp, the current S4 has 340hp

 

Then your fucked lol.

 

get a twin turbo V12

 

haha nice kill

i like the statement on how you said a gallon of gas later..

its funny cause its true lol
