Careful, I hear that's how you blow the welds on your intake.

Through the plastic?

Fast and Furious reference. All in good fun, buddy.

Apparently, I need to brush up on my car movies.

Nah, just brush up on some hot pictures of Jordana Brewster. Only worthwhile thing really in the series was her, how they have the cars comparatively perform is generally a bunch of BS to glorify the asian junk and pretend its faster/better than it is... I saw the first movie and some bits and pieces of others, you didn't miss much if you follow the first sentence of this post.

The stupid thing I posted actually became a heated internet debate 20 years ago. Sorry about the tangent.
Carry on.

First the good, I got over 40 mpg Imperial last 4 hour trip. It was 41.7 at best average. I think everything is at the break in sweet spot, just under 127,000 km. The bad, I hooked up my boat to drive 2 hours away to go fishing. Problem is, I didn't get the hitch on the ball completely. It came off and looked like it only damaged the trailer spare, a half used up tire and scuffed the top of the bumper. It looked fairly deep. Great, it will need fixed. So I cleaned it off with brake cleaner and there was one tiny spot down to black, touched it up. I then polished it. It can only be seen in just the right light. Talk about lucky. We got on the water, the depth finder arm broke but I didn't let it get me down. We also caught 50+ fish, so worth the struggle.

All wheel drive with a Hemi and a 6 spd? Lift that puppy two inches, put slicks on all four corners and wreak havoc at the stop lights on the way to drop your kids at school! The local HOA and PTA would collectively croak out from the rage.

Lot of weight to get moving from a dig...

Unfortunately only the 305 HP 3.6 and ZF 8 speed auto is only available. The bigger ZF 8 speed, this one is only rated at around 350 ft/lbs of torque. Even the 5.7 Charger Police package with AWD only gets the NAG 1 5 speed auto. Still a fun car, high 14's stock. The Spectre cold air intake with my extra mods to it made a noticeable difference.

Yeah, 4100 pounds and in town mileage sucks because of it, less than half that in the Winter especially. I got 38.5 Imperial mpg on my 4 hour highway drive doing 65 mph to 72 mph.
