Your forgetting the 390 lbs-ft of torque though! That helps offset the
weight. I wouldn't count the Automobile mag, its always much slower
than everyone else. The trap speed is 102mph in the C&D car so it makes
since it could hit the 13s.

I'm going to have to call the Car and Driver numbers questionable.
We are talking a 4046 lbs car with 340 crank hp being a 13 second car?!
I dunnoooooo seems a little iffy to me! Was the track they were
running
have a down hill slant?
here are the numbers that other mags have:
Automobile Magazine:
5.7 L, V-8, 5 speed Automatic
1/4 Mile14.70 sec.
Car and Driver Magazine:
5.7 L, V-8, 5 speed Automatic
1/4 Mile13.90 sec.
Motor Trend Magazine:
5.7 L, V-8, 5 speed Automatic
1/4 Mile14.27 sec.

Throw in the Magnum Wagon with more weight.....forgetabout it.
The average Joe driver will hit probably high 14s in the 300C.

Slow? The heavier 300C with the same engine runs a 13.9 in the 1/4!

These Hemi cars look about as heavy as one of my
ex-girlfriends......rolling
oink oinks!
I can't wait to find one to pick on.
I bet they make a nice highway ride though.....but performance....slow
slow
slow.
I wish they would have let me drive the Lotus vs. the Hemi Wagon in the
commerical. I don't think the Hemi would have won!
