View Full Version Of This Page : Magnum AWD R/T Questions?

Does anyone have the AWD R/T on this board? If so how does it feel and drive? I live in North Dakota and am not to sure if I want rear wheel drive or AWD yet. I have an AWD Talon TSi and man it's just sweet plowing my semi sports car through snow with the turbo just screaming at everyone around.

Anyways. I also was wondering how it handles in turns while accelerating. I'm not a big fan of the MDS system for the Magnum nor the Lock-up converter trans. But I'm really loving the look of them. I'm going to try and get the dealer to put 20's on mine if I order one.

Thanks,
Maglin

The AWD will have better traction, but the RWD can do smoke shows :D

While the RWD is doing nices smokeshows, the AWD will have already cleard the first 60'.

If you like doing the occasional burnout, show off & generally have a fun car with a load of power, go with the RWD, now if you live up North, or where it snows, or like to go fast thru the twisties, and care nothing about burning the rubber off of your EXPENSIVE new tires, go with the AWD. I have a Outback AWD, and it is awesome in the snow, rain, & twisties, but the AWD does take a bit of fun from the car. Mopar should have made the car so you could dis-engauge the FWD, of coarse, a pipe dream. 'bird

If there is a lot of snow in your area 4wd, in my opinion, is a must. I live in colorado and it it is necessary for us.
