This car is systematic, hyyydromatic...why it's greased lightning!

For what it is (a station wagon) I think it is pretty damn cool

I would love to get the 300 and change the front grill to the Magnum and make the entire thing look like the magnum to trip people out

Take the FWD twin turbo S80, the torque steer rips the wheel around so bad that to me, I'd say it's a problem but the customers seem OK with it. The modern day tracs systems even cuts out throttle so with that happening, you're also losing accelleration at the same time UNLESS one had VERY sticky tires. All true, real high perf cars are RWD in my book, even today.


Torque steer has never bothered me much. Guess i'm just use to it since all i've owned has been FWD. I do agree a true performance car is going to be RWD but don't count out AWD though.

Well apples to oranges, you have a sports coupe vs. a sedan... but you gotta admit that for a sedan it's pretty damn fast... :)

I saw my first Magnum today and I actually quite liked it. I dunno I just put it on my list of cars I might like to get in the future...

I saw a Magnum today also. At first it looked cool but now I'm kind of doubting it. I didn't know what type of car it was when I saw it.

And the new Dodge Durango? WTF is up with that? Looks like complete shit compared to the old one.
