They were able to get 320BHP from the Hemi Six towards the end. No turbos, just good old Italian Webers and a big Aussie six.

The Charger was a great car, sadly soon after it was released the head of Chrysler Australia got replaced by an American who got nervous over the Supercar Scare, and scrapped Chrysler's racing division and killed off any sporty version of the Charger and Valiant. It was a complete over reaction as both Ford and Holden still sponsored or supported touring car racing

I had an e24 635csi a while back and it was an absolutely marvellous car. Also, the facelift version based on e28 mechanicals like I had is COMPLETELY different to the e12 based early cars. Completely. No shared panels or parts. They look similar in photos, but if you see them in person they look like two generations of the same model.

That always threw me out, both cars almost look identical, but are completely different underneath. I think one way of telling the difference between the two is that the later cars had longer doors.

Those are beautiful, always have been one of my favorite cars.

I do like the SM that replaced it better though...



The CX actually replaced the DS. The SM was a Gran Tourer version of the DS with a Maserati motor in it
