"Hang on Hon, let's see what this guy's got" he floored it too and the wagon started walking away immediately. At 130 the car was smooth and happy and the Audi was a dot in the mirror. Backed down to 85 and set the cruise control. When he caught up he maintained a respectful space between us. I'm sure he was surprised (as I was) that a station wagon could be so much faster than his German hot rod. Even my wife laughed out loud even though she usually disapproves of such behavior. I guess in a straight line there's no replacement for displacement |
A former business partner had a neighbor who owned a few Dodge dealerships in the Carolinas.
Fred ordered a RT Magnum over dinner and drinks, checked off everything, including AWD.
I am pretty sure that he got the last AWD as he was told that they were trying to get him to accept one without, but he stuck to his guns and it was finally delivered..
We had a exhaust system built, and a trailer hitch installed. You aren't kidding, that thing was fast, and the only reason he didn't get the fastest version of the Magnum is because he wanted the AWD.

My friend Neil built and raced this beast and he still has it.
