Thank you Rlsh for your wisdom. I know own a 2002 v8 triton i was comparing it to mine now. Regardless im going to have a 2008 challenger i was just thinking it would be great to have an older car to have something "productive" i like to call it, to play with on weekends.
No problem, it depends again on which engine it is. The 4.6L Triton generates around 231hp & 292ft-lbs of tq, 5.4L 260hp & 350ft-lbs of tq. The Triton is an SOHC 2 valve engine; meanwhile, the 318 (5.2L) is a classic OHV 2 valve (pushrod). The 318 tends to make its torque and the hp at the lower end being a pushrod and the Triton generates its power and torque towards the middle and higher end. Now those are all net ratings. The Charger wouldn't make a bad weekend car, the only thing is it will probably need more maintenance as it is an older car. Good luck with the decision making phase.
