Re: Modern Station Wagon
The Magnum wagon would make a neat race car along with the Charger. The hp rating on the 5.7 Hemi is very high to start with, I think it's 345 hp and this isn't the Drag Pack motor. I'm not sure of the differences but I think it has a smaller throttle body and injectors, maybe a smaller cam, different intake. The hp rating also makes these cars very heavy for a G car @ 3965# with driver. If they fell into J-L they would be killer.
One other drawback is the rear end isn't solid, it's an independent setup with axle shafts, gear selection may be limited etc. To make it work would take some ingenuity and a few $$$.
I think the best kept secret is the 1500 series short bed regular cab truck with the 5.7. But it also has a high hp rating 345, making it an E car at 3620 lbs. It would be a much easier build, but it is a fairly big truck.
I'd like to learn more about these cars, it anybody knows them, please share some info with us. Question is why isn't anybody running them?
