ok. you just took a simple statement and got a bit too defensive. all i told you was that i don't think you should call someone ignorant (lack of knowledge) for liking something or disagreeing with you. sure.. ignorant for not knowing the name of the car. but that's it. i'm not sure where i cursed except for where i quoted him. and i'm not sure y ur freaking out. so if anyone's ready to jump someone.. it seems as if it it's you. clearly it is serious for you.

I agree regarding the name. I hate dodges and I still know the difference.

IIRC the Magnum came out before the Charger. Could be wrong.

The Magnum weighs in at around 3847 (I have the feeling the SRT8 weighs more).

There was a guy in the G forum that got eaten up by an SRT8 Jeep. I highly doubt that your FWD alti with a slightly detuned VQ35DE would be able to pull on an SRT8 Magnum. Especially considering the weight difference between the magnum and the jeep (4,819).

It's only a race if you both realize it's a race.

Kanard, the only thing ignorant here is your knowledge of the English language.

kanard,

I'm with you on this one. Not sure why everyone is jumping on you for a stupid reason.

We're car enthusiasts. I hate just about all domestics, but I can still call off names (and sometimes specs) for just about all of them.

Picking on stuff like spelling and grammar is really not pertinent to the subject. Adidas

i enjoy how in a thread regarding a ricer fly-by on a magnum... we've transcended above and beyond to discuss about nomenclature of cars, domestics vs. imports and even grammar and a member's command of the English language...

Hmm, if the A/C can't stand up to the SRT8, of course the G would get eaten alive... ....

seriously, the SRT8 is a beast, it may have been an RT, or if it was an SRT8, it didn;t know it was in a race... I've seen those things in action and they are pretty damb quick, whether in a jeep, magnum, charger, whatever... its a powerful engine... American muscle, what can you say...

so fellas, ladies, boys, and girls... let's agree that the SRT8 would smoke an A/C (and definately smoke a G), the R/T and A/C would be close (but the RT would still beat a G .... and the rest are fair game... even for a G

Yes sentient, there are an unnecessary number of G-shots because... well, its an A/C foum and we love our babies.... but its all in fun!

Which one of you is going to race me?

I'm having a hard time digesting the fact that your Alti-cous can beat my G.

I know I could easily ditch some vehicle weight to make things more level, but I need to see this first hand.

I think the manual G may be able to take the CVT... but definately not the 6MT stock for stock (except for maybe the 2007 manual G )

the fastest stock CVT has run a 13.9, but that was with an unbolted exhaust, stock, I think his fastest time was 14.2 or 14.4

again, its all in fun, the two are very close, but every head to head A/C vs G race I've seen , the A/C has edged it out...

NOt sure about that, the 6MT A/C has the 153 mph top speed

no, its actually a bit difficult to find accurate automatic G and Z ratings as most reviews are on the MT... but i don't know of a single setup where the automatic is faster than the manual... the G is no exception, the manuals are faster than the autos

then again, who knows... the numbers range on this car... some sites have reported the auto as fast as 5.9 seconds, some as slow as 6.9 seconds (which is ridiculous)

one site has the auto with a faster 0-60, but slower 1/4 mile time (compared to the manual), another site has the oposite...

who knows what the truth really is ... as we've seen, reported numbers are one thing, but numerous head to head matches tell the real deal!

The only auto G that is faster than the mt version (power wise) is the newer G sedan with the HR engine. Those things are QUICK.

All of the other autos have less power than there MT counterparts. Not only are the engines detuned, but there is more drivetrain loss because of the "slushbox".

I don't know aout the detuned engines, I've never read that anywhere... the coupe vs coupe detune was the 2005 - 2007 model years, 2003-2004 were the same...

only problem is, when the G35 first came out, they were using non SAE standard HP, just like everyone else... when the SAE forced everyone to use the same standard... the HP was reported as 275 rather than 280 (just like the lexus sc 430 HP use to be reported as 300 hp, but changed after SAE standards to 288 hp)
