<SNIP>...The domination of rice cars are over.....explained a MOPAR fan at
the LA showing."<SNIP>

This five-door, 5-passenger station wagon will go on sale in the early part
of next year for a cool price around 33,000 dollars. With a JTEC onboard
computer controller and port fuel injection engine, the car will produce a
whooping 430 HP and 480 lbs of torque to the rear via a 5-speed automatic
with a lockup converter. Though not intercooled and only running around
6PSI, the supercharger has plenty of room for more performance.

The estimated 0-60 time is around 4.6 seconds and 1/4 mile journey is under
13.4 seconds at 103 MPH weighing in at 3975lbs. Estimate building plan from
DaimlerChrysler? Try over twenty thousand copies a year.

Count on seeing this whipple supercharger on the Daytona Charger, Dakota
SRT-8, Ram SRT-8 and at your local MOPAR counter in 2004.
