2005 Magnum RT AWD performance...
Does anybody know what the performance numbers are for the RT AWD? I have found several sources for the RWD version, but I am interested in the AWD version, and thought there might (probably) be some parasitic loss from the AWD system. Either way, if anybody has some 0-60 or 1/4mile times and speeds, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Wicked96SS |

From what I've read, anyone who owns an 04 Grand Cherokee with the HO V8
(AWD) probably won't take a back seat to an RT AWD in a 0-60 run. "Wicked96SS" > wrote in message ... > > Does anybody know what the performance numbers are for the RT AWD?

I did a little research, and the Magnum as a higher rear end ratio, more power, more torque, and weighs less... I woudl assume that even the AWD version would be considerably faster than the Grand Cherokee... Grand Cherokee: HP: 265 @ 5100 RPMs TQ: 325 @ 3600 RPMs WEIGHT: 5150 lbs. Dodge Magnum: HP: 340 @ 5000 RPMs TQ: 390 @ 4000 RPMs WEIGHT: 4393 lbs. Just curious! Thanks! |

I don't know where you got your GC weight figure but it sounds far too high!
I have an '04 GC with the HO V8 and have tested it several times with a G-Tech Pro performance meter. It breaks seven seconds from 0-60 consistently. The GC seems to have a very high RPM stall torque converter and, as a result, really flies off the line. I'm getting faster times from my '04 that the 5.7 liter 98 that I used to have.

As for sub 7 second 0-60, that is impressive for an SUV! But I have also read several instances whre 0-60's in the Dodge Magnum RT were 6.1 seconds, with a 14.6 second quarter mile. As a drag racer, to put it in perspective, at those times and speeds, .9 seconds difference (assuming that the Jeep could keep up) is about 9 car lengths, substancially faster. Again, I would really like to see some actual numbers, and not just guessing on what the AWD RT would do... I have a feeling it would be slightly faster than the Jeep.... although I don't have any facts to back this up.

I used to do a LOT of drag racing myself at local strips. One of the road
tests I recently read for the RT quoted a 0-60 time of 7.1 seconds. (The writer said it seemed "sluggish" coming off the line and that there were times when it didn't feel like it had 340hp.) But I just got a Road & Track that says 6.1. Don't know who to believe. I'm going to drive one this afternoon so I'll have a better idea of how it might run after that.
