Seems to me people either seem to love it or hate it. As long as you love it that's all that matters.

Also nice to here some still use the words "V6 and Magnum" in the same sentence. It would be nice if Mopar put out a 300 bhp V6, like Buick did in the 87 Grand National. On reg gas engines, they seem to start on the I-4's and when straight to the V-8's and skipped straight over a optional performance V-6 on any model. 200 ish bhp on a V6 is now no big deal.

Buick's '87 Grand National V-6 with intercooled supercharger in the standard Regal frame. Where Dodge been? Or have I missed something.

Any improve their V-6 for mileage and or performance?

Dodge calls the 3.5L a HO model 250Hp/250ft#. Goin by the numbers its a 4.7L minus 2 cylinders. Like chevy did the 4.3L and the 5.7L. I wanna call it a SS Stylin and Saving haha.

You're comparing a Hemi engine to a Magnum engine... two different classes...

No, actually he's comparing a 3.5L V6 (non-hemi) to a 5.9L V8 (also non-hemi). It's not TOO hard to get the numbers up on the 5.9L, but it'll cost some serious $$$. The 5.9L in my 3/4 ton is rated at 260 or 270 horse, can't remember which...

Oh, I also solved the problem of the fuel mileage thing. That's why I bought the Monte Carlo. Still have my Ram too. [sm=smiley20.gif] Best of both worlds. Hope you like the new ride.

Congrats on the new Magnum. I do understand the need to get better mileage. Gas here is $2.39 a gallon. absolutely insane!! Hope that you enjoy the new Magnum.

the 3.5L and the 4.7L have "semi-hemisperical" heads in them. I don't know exactly how that compares to the "Hemi" engine. So i guess i got a "Semi-Hemi" ahahaa
