'05 R/T, AWD, every option.


I kinda miss the Marquis in some respects, but can't beat the power and the surprisingly GREAT handling of this car.

Yeah, my cameraphone blows, I know.

Very close to DBP. I think the Dodge color is "Midnight Blue Metallic" or something.

Looks great. I think these cars look awesome and there are a lot of aftermarket parts available. Keep us up to date on the mods.

Doom has nothing to worry about.
This is gonna be strictly a daily driver other than I might swap out some louder muffs for the car.

Yeah, I'll run it down the strip once but no speed mods really. I plan to use this car like I used the GMQ - a daily driver.

The Marauder is still my A-list car. Hoping to keep the miles down on it now.

You can take the mufflers off and put straight pipes on to make it louder

And I really suggest getting a diablo tuner, It will really make a big difference

My sons 05 Magnum is pretty darn fast I thought...but when you slam the go pedal it gets thirsty in a hurry....I borrowed it for a week while my truck was in the shop and I got 18-20 mpg out of it with a load of tools and babying it....

PS... he painted his grill black on his red Magnum and it looks saweeeet......start modding!

My sons 05 Magnum is pretty darn fast I thought...but when you slam the go pedal it gets thirsty in a hurry I noticed the same thing. I made good time back from the dealer but the mileage was a little on the low side.

With it being daily-driven, I doubt I'll mod much or beat on it.

Theres been a silver and a complete blacked out on around here i've had my eye on. The silver is an SRT/8, the black is badgeless with LOTS of dollars thrown at it. Tempting, but if I went that route i'd probably end up in a 300 SRT/8. Nice ride! Keep her stock or you won't stop.

I was considering one of those after the Marauder was totaled for the first time. Cool car!

When they first came out I rented one for a 600 mile trip without checking the engine size. When I got there I checked and it had the 6 cylinder but I thought it was an 8 from the way it ran.

Adam,
Since I posted the same thing on CVN, nice car. Congrats on the purchase. I guess that you have not bought the paper bag for your first mod yet.
