Fair enough.

I woudnt wanna whip an X5 or FX thats stickshift, not like they make em stick anyway.

Chargers would be fine with a manual transmission IMO.

I've read that some of the engineers that worked on the G8/monaro/Commodore/caprice/etc. platform also designed some parts of the E39 M5, and people havementioned that as far as driving dynamics go, well equipped models feel similar to that M5 as well

[mr monday niight]

why swap? aren't they powerful enough?















oh wait....

Why have Viper wheels when your car doesn't have the Viper engine?
That's the only way I'm putting those wheels on my car.

They look great, but to me it's the same as the guy that had the toyota "s" r/t badging on his V6.

Probably for the looks.
Or, maybe the size and offset or for performance.
Putting on different wheels is different than badging your C-300 with an AMG badge you bought off eBay.

 

[josebronx]

or type r badge on hondas

I don't think there's anything wrong with putting Viper wheels on a Magnum. Buying a Magnum in the first place, however, that's a different story.

if you gonna do that then just do it a base model magnum/charger, NOT an SRT for collectability purposes cuz within the next 10-15 years SRT8s are gonna jumpin value

Im usually not a fan of cars with the same color body and rims (cept black on black), but that red Charger pulls it off nicely.
