2.7-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 engine
190 horsepower, 190 lb-ft of torque
Four-speed automatic transmission
Power windows, locks, and mirrors
Those power figures seem really low? The car looks awesome though....

Could it be the US making a car that can go around bends? Heavens forbid
Sounds about right. American cars with suprisingly large displacement engines get similar economy to much smaller European engines, not that Im sure of the tech differences. For example, that Charger gets about the same as a Jetta with the base stateside engine. :shock:
The quality of recent Dodges, well, its rather dodge-y. :mrgreen: For my American dollar if I was going for an obnoxious muscle car, Id get the next generation Camaro. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth-generation_Chevrolet_Camaro) :D
I know on the YankTanks you usually get a shedload of torque, but even this doesnt seem to follow that trend!
Actually, That Camaro looks nice too :D
the page you linked to states 5.7 litres...
ah, thats the different models.
Matt
Thats applaing, I would like to know how many miles per gallon that car has, I dont think it says on that website.
could the injectors just be rigged for economy?
big old engine tuned will drink, and in these dark times people want good economy and co2 emissions.
Those stats are for the bog-standard bottom-of-the-range model
the srt8 is:
6.1-liter SRT HEMI® V8 engine
425 horsepower, 420 lb-ft of torque
Jaimz :rock:
Still, compare that top of the range 6.1 with a mitsubishi evo FQ400 with 400hp from 2.0 litres
Or a 3.6 litre 911 turbo with in and around 440
Or if were scrubbing turbos, the current shape M5 with 503bhp from 5 litres.
Its pretty abysmal tbh.
max - are you sure about the economy? A euro car with those figures would pull anywhere from 30-40 mpgs depending on car.
But the Euro equivalent would be 2 Litre (Clio 192 anyone) not 2.7 litre. Tuned like this and the fact the car weighs almost exactly 1000Lbs more than the clio and youre garunteed to get crap mileage.
Figures from sites show.
Charger 2.7 = 21mpg Urban and 28 Mpg Highway
Clio 192 = 28mpg Urban and 43mpg Highway

http://fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.htmAmerican gallons of course.
Last couple long hauls in the Jetta (2.0), I got around 29mpg, cruising at close to 90. The EPA rates it a couple points higher, which is odd as I almost always get better economy with cars than theyre rated by the government. Grandmotherly road skilllzzz! :mrgreen:
My passat diesel have 177 lb-ft in torque :)

In its defence the numbers for the Charger will be US gallons, so multiply by 1.2 gives
25 Urban and 34 Highway.
still not up to the clio, but I know which one Id rather be driving.
Quote from: sdpA family size car that looks pretty cool. Who cares if the engine has a drink problem and it aint in a hurry to get anywhere? I think everyone knows by know american engines yadda...
With some decent wheels and black paint thatd look way better than owt vaux/ford/frogs/toyota do.
:stupid:
i cant believe that volkswagen US only offers one diesel and thats the 110bhp model!
they need to get with the program, the yanks that is
.
Id buy the Monaro over that.
I like the Daytona in purple though.
I want a purple car.

Ahem. :mrgreen:
Thats 37p/L :lol: Average price in the UK as of right now is 94p/L. :lol:
LoL when I first came to Nashville the price was 37 cents a gallon.

Quote from: Eddf**kit im definetly moving to canada! and getting something with a HUGE engine
its not nearly as cheap in Canada dude.
still better than here, but ~ 118c/l when I was there last month. On Vancouver island that is, cant say for sure elsewhere.
diesel power is the way forward anyway

no argument from me there, gotta love starting to think about where you might fill up after 300miles
.....
with half a tank of juice left.
Quotediesel power is the way forward anyway
damn right :D
torque and economy, what a lovely mix.
LPG is for me and my Volvo :D
Id really like a Fabia VRS though. 1.9TDi fast and economical, perfect car I think :)
