How is their thinking any different from yours? Some guys claim their Hemi can beat a 5.3L, your saying they can't. Seems about the same to me!

Amen Jim.....

 

Yes, I was at the last GTG @HRP.

 

and what you can afford

 

imo that truck does look good with a few appearance packages they have and i like the potential of the engine thats in it. i just don't like some of the attitudes of the people on DTW. i used to go look and read, occasionally point out a myth ab out our trucks and recieved all kinds of flak. there are a few items available in the aftermarket. but i know, not having tuning is the major factor.

 

I like the Dodge trucks....I like the way they look, they ride real nice, and I'm sure the Hemi makes good power....but for me, I'm just not a Dodge guy. I give Dodge props for making their concept cars and not just BSing around about them for years (as chevy has done), and I think they have some BadAss looking cars, ie. Viper, Prowler, Ram, even the Crossfire....but again, I guess it was the way I was raised...I just can't buy one. (Of course, I really never amounted to anything anyway). I'd own a Dodge Ram before I owned some Honda Civic with a "intake" and "exhaust" that wouldn't run a 14.xxx off a cliff! I think Jap cars are nice daily drivers....but not race cars.

 

true true. i had a salesman try to put me in the 02 ram when they first came out. i was tempted but they wanted 32K for it. I said no thanks and went to pick up my current truck. of which, i have been more than happy with. i am like you, i just can't make myself buy a dodge. once again, props to dodge for making bold statements by building the styled vehicles that are in production.

 

Not a troll here, but I don't post often but visit often!...Anyway, I am member of both boards, and like any other board, each think thiers is the best and all the rest are crap. That is a battle that will never be over.

However, I do think stock for stock the Hemi is faster! :-)

 

Stock for stock the hemi isn't faster! It may make more power but power to weight ratio sux for the Dodge. Big fat slow pigs! I watched a 600 HP special edition of the srt10 truck run a best of 12.8x's @109 last week. Put 600 HP in a sigle cab chev truck, and watch it run 10's. You dodge boys just keep on thinking your fast, cause its so funny to put an *** whippin on one and then see the guys face when its over. I don't have anything against Hemi owners, but most them really think they are fast. I went to Houston last week and had a guy in a lifted 4wd crew cab 2500 w/hemi rev at me then take off hard like we were racing. It was too funny!

 

I am not going to say anything.
