I really think the dodge gusy are way off.
I absolutely agree. Maybe just because they don't know what these trucks are capable of though. I really don't know what any of them run but, I've never had any problems with ANY Dodge trucks that I've run into. I'm sure I'll meet up with a bad one someday but, it hasn't happened yet.
Well, they know. You just don't know because they've never been a threat.

according to all dodge forums, the r/ts are the kings of the highway.

hey file, you wouldent happen to know anyone with a r/t/or new 1500 hemi would you? we could always get a race with one against your truck if its similarly eqipped. i'll even bring the 1100 dollar video camera from work.. and settle this once and for all..

Dodge should have a truck that's higher on the list shortly - the SRT10. I'm not a big Dodge fan but I work for the company that builds the seats for the Dodge Ram. Unfortunately, it's being built in Mexico instead of St. Louis.

I heard the SRT-10 won't see production.

You guys want to hear a good one? I've got a guy that I work with that owns a Hemi Ram and he was telling me about how when they were testing the RCSB 2wd Hemi Ram that it was putting out so much power it was twisting driveshafts!

I agree with most here, those lists are complete BS. Also, what is it with R/T owners that make them think thier the fastest thing on the road?

Actually, I do have a QC 1500 Hemi on my kill list.
I whished I knew someone with a rcsb Hemi so we could race but I don't. I did see one on Hwy 281 about 3 days ago and tried to initiate a race but but the driver never cought on. Oh well, I hope I have better luck next time.

Haha! Those Dodge guys are on crack! The Fords guys have a better idea though. We know the lightning is hands down the fastest but the SS ans 5.3 RCSB Silverado are neck and neck. I have raced a handful of Dakota R/T's when my truck was stock and completely destroyed every one of them. They are ranking the 5.3 a little lower than they should.
