They promised us an E ticket ride this morning, those engaging sales chaps at the DiamlerChrysler factory, and for once, car sellers didn't lie. About 50 fleet buyers were invited out to the old Alameda Naval Air Station to wring out the 300C and the Dodge Magnum. The avowed purpose was to present the ESP program in the new cars plus brag about the MBZ E class underpinnings on a Chrysler but I think it was just to go very fast in Hemis!! After we all drove the 6's and the Hemis on a slalom course they used professional drivers to take us on the craziest torture test for new cars I have ever seen in 39 years in the business. With 6 Hemi cars and professional drivers, they used most of an entire jet runway to show how the ESP syslem worked at highspeed accident avoidence turns. I saw the clock at 115 mph more than once. Were sideways at 95 and didn't care!! Had to take three turns just to make sure of what had happened the time before was going to happen again. This with a full load of grinning passengers. Beat the bejeebers out of those pre production cars and all had a very good time!! Say what you want about the styling, the factory really has the handling and braking down to an equal with the acceleration.
