Raced a Magnum R/T...
I'm sitting at a light and a red Magnum R/T pulls up. The beast sounds mean. Knowing I'll get my butt kicked, I revved up my hampsters. He did not reply. As soon as the light turned green, though, I heard an unholy growl and screeching rubber. My wee little hamptsers were running in their wheels as fast as they could, but to no avail. He was about 10 car lengths by the time I hit 60mph. I want one.

Rep Power: 0 He got me right off the line. I didn't think he wanted to race. I didnt really want to either, because I knew I'd get smoked, and I did. I think they run like in the mid 14s.

Rep Power: 0 Yes, key words are "wolves in dodge DAKOTA clothing." Someone corrected him saying I raced a wagon and not a truck, so he asked me if it was the truck or the wagon. Or lets just ask him what he was talking about, shall we?

Rep Power: 0 I honestly dont care, but if I'm wrong then I'm wrong, sorry 
. I was thinking about the little older dakota truck that has the magnum engine. The model that has the 5.9L. A person at my job has a blue one and I couldve sworn it said magnum r/t. Well anyway he has even bigger ***** for trying the stationwagon too since thats what it was. LOL

This is a convertible. A coupe would run slightly quicker.
And face it. Our 127hp Civics are slow, slow, slow cars. It's not a big deal that a 340hp/390ft-lbs car would beat one by 10 car lengths.

Anyway, Mopar performance is very hard to beat in a straight line.

Copied from Truck Trend:
Feeding power through a 46RE four-speed automatic to the Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires (P255/55R17), the R/T posted a 0-60 time of 7.08 sec, passing through the quarter mile in 15.50 at 88.72 mph.
And yes the 5.9L comes ONLY with an auto. Here have a link: http://www.trucktrend.com/roadtests/...un/index1.html

Rep Power: 0 He is right, but what I dont understand is why he even bothered reving at him, if he didnt want to race and he knew he would lose. 
LOL Maybe he was bored and wanted to start a thread about his horrible loss? I dunno, but he shouldve had a bottle heated and ready....that magnum owner wouldve went home pissed!

Rep Power: 0 i lived in Monterey, CA for a couple years (home of Pebble Beach, Laguna Seca, and some really fukcin bada$$ cars)...last year, during the Ferrari Classic at Pebble Beach, i was sitting at a stop light and a showroom-fresh retina-etching yellow Diablo rolls up beside me...so of course i roll down my windows, blast my system, and start masturb...um, i mean, REVVING on him...he's 100% ignoring the $hit out of me and my little 1.7L's 6800 RPM screams for mercy, but the second the light turns green, he was on it...if you've never had the pleasure of hearing the roar of a redlining V12 Lamborghini dump it's clutch and smoke the $hit out of some brand new rubber and then proceed to scream to about 140 mph through a 35 mph tunnel, well then you just haven't lived...
