The curb weight required to get the number to work out exactly, at least in my calculations, is ridiculously light. I can't wait to see the solution.

Agreed. I find it comical that Dodge list the curb weight on their website as “Not Available”.

Walked out to the garage to check on the RE at halftime. She looked a little depressed. Said she's tired of all this talk about her weight... :(:(:(

Then she drops this on me and says...

Do these wheels make my ass look BIG????.... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

speed dwarfs the rolling resistance from curb weight.....And their conversion from mph to ft/s is wrong in the problem....so that is where the issue seems to be with getting their exact answer...

Someone there has some explaining to do...

The real winner this week is the person who picked "none of the above" before it disappeared.

Well I bring that conversion error up b/c within a few tenths of mph of the correct conversion from 116.4 ft/s to mph will get you the exact answer....Anyway....Dodge was really sloppy with Week 2 question.....They should hire me to do this shit for them since they can't get it straight......not only would everything be precise but my questions would be better too!

I used the 4451 weight. Oops

Also, used my wife's email and answered with "more hp than all of dodge's lineup"
I also checked and came up with 13,290hp for the entire lineup

So i am probably wrong both ways

For any future weight considerations... consider this...

If you take the rear seat delete option on this model, how much weight will you be eliminating from your BIG ass total package... 25lbs, 50lbs, 100lbs. more.... :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

That just proves that if the bag is made of spandex that you actually can fit more than 5 lbs into a 5 lb bag.

Diggin around on the web I found this. Now, you don't know what they are using for a coefficient of friction or rolling resistance, or how many decimal places they carry out to.

Yeah, but knowing FCA the new Challenger50 badge probably adds 50lbs. 😬
