I just got my liscense two days ago and my first place i wanted to go was the dodge dealership up the road from me. I know one of the sales men really well so we went out and had sum fun with a QC daytona. This truck had absolutely every option available! Anyway now that i have driven one im hooked. It has tons of power and it rode more like a car than a truck, the brakes are better on it than anything else i have ever driven. To spite the awesome brakes i got it to powerbrake for a 3 foot patch or so ( we were on a back road with no1 else around) then i let offa the brake and we were doin like 60 in no time! :drive: So now that ive driven one i gotta have it
( eventually, when I can afford the 39k sticker that was on it!)

Hurry up and save your coins............you will love it!!!

The day I turned 18 I test drove a RC Daytona #01383, and it was sweet! I still like the Bee though. :judge:

If you thought that Dodge was good wait until you drive a real truck.

:stupid: just got done eating one daytona and one rcsb hemi last night in the ol extended cab truck. put both of them back about 3-5 lengths

i do like how the daytonas look though. the burnt orange color is sweet!

Hells yes. :headbang:

I put 8-9 lenths on a modded (exhaust and Boss 20's) rcsb hemi 2wd last week. And I dont have to powerbrake my truck to light the tires up either.

Of course you don't, but then again I don't either. I eat up Daytonas and Bee's too and I don't need a chevy to do it. ;)

just a sexy looking truck IMO. too bad it weighs a ton and comes with a hemi :jest: J/K guys :P

Isn't that color officially called by Daimler-Chrystler "Go, baby, go!!"?? I believe I saw that on a window sticker at a dealership.

Nice looking truck. But I would feel like johny swindell driving it. Wing would have to GO!

Idk guys, i wanna c a stock 5.3 chevy beat a stock 5.7 hemi then i'll change my mind!

its not uncommon to see a stock scsb 5.3's chevy hit 14.9. and thats only on 5.3 liters. imagine if the scsb's came with the 5.7 ls1 to make things even ;)

how many mid 12 N/A hemi trucks are there?(serous question)

Idk guys, i wanna c a stock 5.3 chevy beat a stock 5.7 hemi then i'll change my mind!

Well I cant show you stock for stock but I can show ya a stock RCSB 5.3 beating a hemi with a CAI, borla muffler, and some wire pulled from the PCM.

To take it a step further, Joejoe beat a RCSB Hemi (same as above) in his wifes Escalade on 22s.

I beat a stock 06' 4wd RCSB Hemi (TRX4 or somethin' like that) with my stock 5.3...but not by much.

As soon as the track opens up around here I'll get a vid.

Idk guys, i wanna c a stock 5.3 chevy beat a stock 5.7 hemi then i'll change my mind!
Idk how many guys buy a truck and keep them stock. Seriously. Perhaps one or two member of this forum still have stock trucks.

None.

None.

hell were doing it with less cubes :) can ya HEMI now :jest:

YEAH.............I can hear ya real good........you got all these mods and only run in the 14 second club............thats pretty funny! These came right off your cardomain sight..........there is stock Rams running in the 14s!


PERFORMANCE MODS:
5.3, UPD intake, Volant functional ram air, Shaners ported and polished throttle body(s2), pacesetter longtube headers, Corsa sport muffler, Magnaflow stainless resinator, offroad Y pipe(catless), flex-a-lite electric fans w/ nelson performance fan harness, Nelson Performanc custom tuning, 160*thermo, corvette servos, 2600 stall converter, 3.73 posi, coolant bypass, egr delete, spring clamps, Toyo Proxies(275/60-17) and other little junk im probably leaving out

Pushing for 13's this year, I am really waiting to see what Acctorch runs with the extruded heads pushing 380hp to the tires N/A. We got 600lb's more to push down the track so we need a good 60hp more then a chevy to get the same times.

It's only a matter of time till hemi's are in the 12's too. ;)

going for my 13 second title next time out ;) now imagine if i had a 5.7 ls1 in there to match your cubes. or if i was a scsb :P not complaining though. my lil ol' 5.3 is holding its own.

now lets sum up my list to the real mods....

intake, ported and polished tb, LT's, full exhaust, electric fans, tuning, 2600 stall. a whopping 7 performance mods :eek2: still funny? not as big of a list when i dont list out every little componet.

Well after getting my heads done and exhaust I ran a best of 14.6 in the quarter. Now I have heads, 6.1 cam, and a few other tricks I think I can push low 14s and possibly even into the 13s. Will not Know until VMP on the 26th of this month.


All you guys with the so called fast chevy trucks need to quit hiding online and show up at VMP................all I see fast at the track from chevy is cars!!!!!! I have yet seen a fast silverado at the tracks I run at (I know they are out there, just not at the track). I run at Rockingham, Kinston, VMP quite often........either in the truck or car. Never a fast silverado out playing..............a few "L's" from time to time, but the silverados I see run 15, 16 and 17 seconds............I can't even figure why a guy would bring a 4 door 4 wheel drive silverado to the track to race, but they do.....?? Why not stick with tires and lifts!

by the way i wasnt trying to start a pissing match. if i had to choose another brand it would definately be the daytona.

i do like how the daytonas look though. the burnt orange color is sweet!

Now we all know that the burnt orange orange of a Daytona isn't the same burnt orange on little college.

That is what I thought. I am suprised he did not list synthetic wiper fluids or light weight bumper pads.

dodge has ruined every classic muscle car name ever. period the end.

I can't say I agree more with you on that..........but it makes it interesting to see what will come out next. I don't mind the daytona editions, rumble bee editions, and the charger I like, but come on a 4 door...........when the challenger hits, I'll let you know how it runs, that 6.1 should push it pretty good.

dodge has ruined every classic muscle car name ever. period the end.

I agree on a few and disagree on others. Charger should of been what the Challenger is, but the Challenger is going to be 100% bad ass and true to the classic muscle car.

And besides Chevy is no worse, *cough* GTO. ;)

g2o had a hell of a motor in it but the styling want screaming sportscar...definately a screw up on gm. also look at the first ssr and the silverado "SS"

Nothing screams Dodge muscle car like a mid-80's Mitsubishi
http://www.lhmopars.com/MOPAR_Ads/83chgad.jpg

Hey golden velvet..........I have you know that I have that exact car, 1985 model, same color with 45,000 miles and in awesome condition. I have turned down 10 grand for it twice....!!! I also have the newer years of the shelby cars, a 1987 Daytona shelby z. With the Z I can assure you one thing, I have put quite a few muscle cars to shame, that includes the vette, stangs, z-28s, TA ws6's. I have a ton in it parts wise, but don't ever underestimate the shelby cars. I have an 11 second one and there is several in the 11s, a few in the 10s, and one in the 9s that I know of, all quarter mile times. BTW, mitsu didn't get involved til the late 80s, this car is all dodge!!!! You can get a crate 2.2 pushing over 500 HP and 400 ft lbs. My 87 Z is all forged, pushing close to that with 30 lbs. of boost all the time............a headgasket every year is no problem! I also just had a 1990 VNT Daytona stolen from here at our farm shop, been gone a month now and no sign of it anywhere.


Dating back to the late 80s when these cars where in prime, smoking mustangs and camaros was no problem!

Dont get me wrong I really like the early Dodge trubo cars. My favorite is the Conquest TSI. But I think the funnest would be on Omni because they just dont look quick.. But they have good motors and I light weight. I it would be a blast to take out a 4 door Omni to the ricer hang outs and just destroy them.

I got a video of a glh omni smoking a Z06, boy is it funny...........the vette guy was like WTF?? Thats what I'll be doing tomorrow if the weather permits, smoking some rice and a few mustangs and what ever else shows up! They all laugh at me when they see me pull up, then I power brake to about 2500 RPMs and it sounds like a jet building thrust, then it leaps like a frog and its gone! I just had it out a few ago and smoked a few crustangs riding around on it in town and bought it back home. I need to get some pics of it up on here, just hadn't got around to it yet. Speaking of the omnis, have you seen the value on those lately, one just went in our shelby club for close to 15K. Its the next cars in the dodge line to go up, just hit 20 years old and the average person can't afford the older mopar cars now with the price so high on them, so they step to the turbo dodge side now. Still cheap to build and operate if you get in and do some wrenching on your own. I've got one running 11s that if I had of listened the first time I'd only have about 6K in it tops, but I cooked a motor (hydralocked) and I guess I have around 11K in it now.

;) Here's mine. :drive:

yeah those little shelbys are nice cars, personally seeing nd rams but ill stick to a grand national/ttype as being my 80s car :hail:

Daniel, I was waiting for you to chime in...........BTW, I have the louvers still, just didn't want ya to think I had forgot.

The 87 Z

The 87 Z


Oh..........I almost forgot the most important thing

Daniel, I was waiting for you to chime in...........BTW, I have the louvers still, just didn't want ya to think I had forgot.

How about bring them to VMP and I'll get em from ya then. Still need the air dam or was that for the GLHS? :(

Why is it that the cubic inches thing always comes up when talkin to a Chevy guy? Y'all don't want to compare the 5.3 vs. 5.7. Instead y'all want it to be the 6.0 vs. 5.7. What about the 6.0 vs. 6.1? :judge: I guess now it'll be the 6.2 vs, 6.1.

im happy with my lil ol 5.3. itll stick it to most hemis on the road. last time at the track i beat a hemi magnum twice. but then he got in his 12 second camaro and ripped me a new one :cry: i just brought up cubic inches because my times were being knocked with my entire 7 performance mods. and i did use the ls1 5.7 as a comparison to the hemi instead of the 6.0. going for 13's N/A on factory heads and cam on sunday! wish me luck :)

I'm so used to hearin it though. Everywhere I go it's "Well you've got a 5.7/5.9 and I've only got a 5.3", how quickly they forget that they have the weight advantage though. :( Ya should have the 13s... Keep us posted. :judge: My buddy race a SRT-8 300 the other day and the 300's torque management kicked in and he got beat...until it downshifted twice... :bang: I hate torque management> :turd:

yeah TM sucks. i only have 70% removed and want to go 100% asap. check in sunday and im sure there will be alot of new times posted up in the houston area. hopefully ill crack that 13 but probably not. ill be happy with a 14.00-14.1

This arguement is pretty pointless. I mean who in their right mind would actually want to race a truck? I mean ,they are like briks going through the wind, they are heavy, and made to haul stuff in the beds. I mean sheish, especially the 4wd guys. I vote for leaving them all stock, or just doing stuff to get better milage :jest: :drive:

thats probably what i shoulda done...just go for bling factory and forget the speed shit. imagine the times i'd run if i dumped this money into a camaro :(

Chevy 5.7 LS-6 = 405 HP
Dodge 5.7 HEMI = 345 HP
:engarde: :P

:D :burn:

Dodge 5.7 HEMI = 345 HP
:engarde: :P

:takethat: The 5.7 HEMI was put into REAL trucks and cars... :judge: :jest:

I think if you wanna compare it should be
chevy 4.8 dodge 4.7
chevy 5.3 dodge 5.7
and 6.0
chevy ls2 dodge 6.1, 6.4 or whatever else
all the other
ls based engine
But thats not a good way to compare because of all the diff. kinds of trucks these motors come in. I mean my ecsb 4x4 has owned a few hemi trucks, and been owned by a few and im sure it goes the other way around :judge:

First, old turbo mopars are too sweet :D Second, 14 second stock 5.3 makes me LMAO. my little GTP just ran 15.0 stock and had no problem dusting off 5.3s, or Hemis for that matter HA!

Chevy 5.7 LS-6 = 405 HP
Dodge 5.7 HEMI = 345 HP
:engarde: :P

I am probably closer to 435 than 345.............. :hail: but I can't put it to the ground worth a flip.

LS6 was an expensive sepcialty motor, best comparison is the LS1 with 305-350 HP, in others words, a dead heat. Hemi is rated at 340-345 HP, but abit more torque.

Why doesn't anyone wanna race me? :devil:

Good for you.

13.8's is great on an N/a ExtCab.

Why doesn't anyone wanna race me? :devil:

Why I would be more than happy too..... look me up if you ever get down this way...... The only SS TB I have run across todate did not want to play....


TJ

Wheres Baytown?

Oh and for all of you " Why don't we see a 12 sec N/A Hemi??? We Don't! "
When we see product from HP Tuners or some such, you WILL, very shortly... Care to guess how much the 345 hp will jump too with just that??? some SERIOUS tuning....... which ALL of you seem to enjoy..
I seem to remember running 14.30s on 20's N/A with just the mods in my sig....

I'll race you, but I'm not driving to Cali to do it. BTW, sweet SS.

daytona Congrats on the Dodge owners but Chevys aint got nothing on me!

i have an 03 quadcab with stock shift points, stock rev limiter, stock stall, stock 20"tires, zero tuning, zero programmer, 5400lb race weight, 3 mods are:
218/222 cam
4.56 gears
longtube headers(no cat)
I ran a best of 14.2@95mph.
That was crossing the traps at 4400rpm in third gear. My cam doesnt even make power until 4500 rpm, and it makes peak power at 5800 rpm which I cant even get to due to the rev limiter.
I am waiting on my superchips programmer to get her along with the smt-6 to tune the truck since it is really rich. I have an edge 2800 stall ready to go in along with transgo shift kit. Once this is all in, I will turn a 13.5.
I see alot of fast chevy trucks on this site, but everytime they have a supercharger, nitrous, or a turbo. I am considering a chevy next time since u guys get to tune your trucks as easily as add gas to mine.

Idk guys, i wanna c a stock 5.3 chevy beat a stock 5.7 hemi then i'll change my mind!

Where do you live I'll convince you!

Idk guys, i wanna c a stock 5.3 chevy beat a stock 5.7 hemi then i'll change my mind!

Where do you live I'll convince you!

honestly, who races stock?

i would line up a stock ECSB chevy VHO against a stock scsb hemi. that would be a close race

I raced a scsb hemi ram against my bone stock silverado when I got it, before the mods and beat him by a car length and a half. He even had the steel wheels and not the dumb heavy dodge twenties. If you look at the build sheet of a ram, dodge puts in a deeper gear to make up for the weight of the twenties. He actually ordered the truck with the deep gear and the steel wheels but it didn't help.

the gears are not for the weight, they are for the tire height difference. The stock 20's are 32" tall. Thats why they come with 3.92 and the 17" wheels come with 3.55.

thanks for the info

Hey guys, what the difference between a Rumble Bee and stock sc hemi? All show? My 5.3 beats a sc hemi, but haven't raced a rumble bee or daytona yet.

appearance package as far as i know...one of the dodge guys might set me straight though

Yep, ground effents, stripe, hood scoop, door highlights, colored dash bezel, # plaque. :judge:

Turbo Colt's were the shit. They'd beat anything from redlight to redlight. Not to mention the Power/Economy lever. Seriously tho, they weren't bad little cars.

Sound like the Hemi driver is bad... What do you mean by SC?

sc=single cab or super charged...just gotta figure out which one they mean(single cab in this case)

Single cab

Turbo colts huh. I'd put a new GTO V8 up against one.
