New Pentastar v6

Postby xbrit » 26 Feb 2012 5:15

I am fortunate to have been given the choice of a company car that came with my job (un usual in the States) I chose the new Challenger with the new Pentastar V6, and what a good unit it is, at 305 BHP and 270 lb.-ft. of torque. They say with Turbo charging and some fettling could produce 500 BHP. What a shame no manual option.

I like 'em both.

They have managed to boost the horspower (V6) from 250 to 305 compared to the previous year, right? Usually some extra hp doesn´t hurt. :s004:

The seats are from O'Reilly's 149.99 each, they really look good.
