Vote for Road & Track's Car of the Year 2005

[Tommy T.]

You can vote online (you do have to provide name and address). Both the 300 and the Magnum are candidates. Pretty stiff competition with the new Vette, others. Link:

Also a good article on the Magnum here:

They tested 0-60 in 6.1, temp was 90 degrees, light winds, 36% humidity. Quarter mile was 14.6 @ 97.4.

0-60, never thought about that one, will have to remember to try that one of these days.

Although, even with a light fuel load, I wouldn't be surprised if that pig couldn't outrun a Ford 500 off the line.

I'm sorry guys, I love the Magnum RT too, but I've driven the new Mustang GT and in my opinion that is by far the best new car this year.

It's okay - we won.

Mustangs are pretty cool too, especially that new one. But every local yokel on the block will have one real soon...

I guarantee you, the Mustang thing will last about a year and then people are going to get sick of the Mustang. The retro design is cool, but design like that will only stay hot for a limited time.
And by the way, I voted for the Magnum RT to be the Car and Driver's Car of the Year. Wouldn't be awesome to have both the Dodge Magnum and Chrysler 300 as the car of the year for two different magazines.

Keep my fingers crossed. :wink:

We didn't do the 0-60 thing in the CH-47 Chinooks,
But when you are standing behind an M-60 machine gun and the pilot pulls a MAX TAKE OFF,it's refered to a real scrotum stretcher!!!

Everybody's entitled to their opinion, but the Mustang thing hasn't worn off yet and it's been 40 years. The most popular Mustangs ever are the late 60's models and that's kinda what the new ones look like. I guarantee you that it won't fade. Sales of the Mustang have not been like this since 1969. HAVING said that, I do love the Magnum. It is going to be my next car, however if it wasn't for kids I would be buying the new Mustang.

isnt the magnum a great balance between power and usefulness?
