nice! I'm thinking the same thing about my D. Nothing major wrong with it, just little things here and there that need replacement. I've been looking at the Gen 3 Durangos and would love to have a HEMI RT!

Errr.

This Charger came well AFTER the 300. Thus, the Charger is an altered 300.

Yeah yeah Indy, details details.

Anyways those new durango's are nice, got to drive a crew the other day and I was impressed with that 3.6 pentastar. I don't know if I could own one though, doesn't fell like a truck like the 1st gens do and I love that.

3.5 is NOT a hemi, wherever you saw that go tell them they are wrong, no such thing as a v6 hemi

Pretty much all modern engines have a hemispherical cylinder head design, opposed to an angular head, that's where the term HEMI came from. Although Dodge has trademarked the term, and has other nifty tricks, like dual spark plugs for each cylinder... etc.

Anyways, the 300, Charger and Challenger all share the same platform... Chassis, engine, transmission... etc.

Mine is a 5.7 - heard back from the bodyshop today, only about $8000 in damage. It will be fixed.

Charger and Magnum typically will not have quite the amount of electronics that a 300C does. If it's a 300C it has a 5.7. They did make an SRT too. I forget what years..I don't keep up with that stuff. Nice ride though. I'm sure you'll like the butt warming seats, express windows and all that if they can put humpty back together again.

You can still come here and get help even though it's a Chrysler

Yeah. This thing has pretty much every feature imaginable... Even the side mirrors automatically tilt down when you put the gear selector in reverse, just so you can make sure you're not curbing your wheels while backing out - or you know - running over and infant.

It's unbelievably loaded... I honestly can't wait to have it back. It's been gone for 2 weeks and I doubt they've even started to work on it.
