question(s)
does this car really weigh more than 2 tons?!
do they still make these?
i've always liked these wagons for some odd reason so when the
girl complains about it being a wagon, i felt offended..

Nope, dropped several years ago. Most people don't know that these were badged as Chrysler 300 Touring wagons in some markets.

Uggghhhh I loved the Magnums. I was upset when they decided to stop production on them.

Yea they are over 4000lbs. I'm almost positive the awd charger is also over 2 tons.

And with a turbo diesel making more torque than a Hemi.

^^Yeah, I always wondered why DCX didn't offer diesels here like they did in Europe.

Ewww it looks so "classy" compared to the beefy magnum.. so from my
understandings they don't have the 300 turbo diesels in the US?

Unless you work down the street from Chrysler Headquarters and a 300C Touring Diesel (RHD and all) comes in for a tire repair. I wish I got a pic of that car.
One day I will buy an SRT Magnum, do a SRT 300C front end swap, with a 6speed MTX swap from a Challenger.

My car weighs somewhere around 4200 lbs. The charger weight something like 50 lbs more and the magnums are roughly the same as the charger.

The charger might weight 50 lbs more if it has the sub package. These cars are all under the 4200lb mark. I am sure they all sit right around 4125. I can go read the door tag if needed lol

But as soon as you sit in it, it goes over 4200lbs. So technically it's still true.

Can I come check your door tag? From the seat? On the highway/turnpike?
