95 z28 vs hemi magnum

Don't u just hate it when your driving then someone comes up behind u and rides your ***?? well a hemi magnum does that to me so i pull into the next lane and were at a red light, light turns green i get the jump on him immediately but im kind of feathering it not to spin but i have to accelerate more cause he was gaining so then i start spin through first and second but i shut down around 50-60 miles ph with a two and a half car lead.

Re: 95 z28 vs hemi magnum

Nice kill. I was unfortunate to race one of those peices of **** once when i had bald tires on the back of my car. I had to ease into first gear which allowed him to barely keep ahead then the lanes merged into one lane. Now I have fresh tires & I'm waiting for my day to get revenge.

They aren't slow guys, they are just heavy as hell. If people start to mod them then they'll be mean machines on the street.

It's not the Hemi's you have to watch out for, it's the Cummins Diesels. I've lost numerous times at the track to one that runs high 12's, 4X4 and all.

Hell ya those turbo diesels are a handful, they give me a run for my money most of the time

LOL, the wagonriders I've noticed are starting to bully some cars, the black one's look like they carry coffins.

I wish more people would realize that. It's like the word Hemi is subconciously making these people go out and buy them and start acting like idiots. It is nice that Dodge actually has a nice V8 now. Not quite a decade behind GM.

Re: 95 z28 vs hemi magnum

The word "hemi" may be a marketing ploy, but the 340hp (or is it 345?) is all business. I do believe that's more hp than other domestic V8's of the same displacement...

People are quick to discount what they don't happen to own.

Re: 95 z28 vs hemi magnum

It's 345 hp and I agree with you completely. I'm so sick of everyone talking sh*t about the hemi. The magnum and the 300 are both badass cars in their own way. I wonder how many people talking smack have actually even driven one?

Re: 95 z28 vs hemi magnum

the SRT-8 magnum, charger, and 300C being shipped right now. They have 425 hp that's more that a new GTO or C6 and will be more then any other v8 untill the c6 z06 hits the streets. The Motor has displacement on demand that you cannot feel at all wich kills off up to 4 cylinder on the highway so you get excelent mileage. more then any ford prdouct other then the GT. Them motor rocks and the build quality is excelent.
