The Hemi is a joke.I wonder how the Dodge boys would feel about getting stomped by my Dmax crewcab.14.88@90.31 mph. :p

Every Hemi I've "played" with I've beaten....and I've "excercised" my engine against 8 or 10 of them in Las Vegas....it's a good looking truck and it might kill a stock SS...but I can kill a stock SS too (unfortunatly the AWD in the SS hurts the striaght line performance....it sucks ALOT of power)

I just don't think Dodge had the formula perfect when they built the HEMI

as for the "my buddy took down an SS as well... said the only thing that has beaten him was the Lightning" comment.........I guess he hasn't raced any of us then has he !!!!!

I am not sure where you run your times at, but 15.32@91 is right there with my SS's stock time (with only 950 miles on the odometer). Are you running at a hot and/or high altitude track? Anyway, the Hemi is not as fast as an SS, no "maybe" about it. Of course, I am not stock anymore, I am not as interested in the stock to stock comparison.

Is there anything "Hemi" about the new Hemi? Bank in teh day it was the shape of the heads. Does this hold true for the new engine.

Or is it a marketing scheme to bring all the mullets out of the wood work to buy a new truck?

I raced a 3/4 Hemi on the highway from a 50 mph roll. I went ahead and stayed ahead till I shut it down at 100.

I read in Hot Rod (I think) that Dodge has put in a MAF limit in the PCM. If you try to mod the hemi and hit the air flow limit it will pull timing and fuel!!! Stupid. Mods are all about air flow increases. I guess thats why Kenne Bell has delayed their blower for the hemi for months now.
I guess if you can't mod your truck all you have left is stroking yourself and friends on a board

Personally I dont care how fast the hemi is. Has anyone checked out its interior? It looks like a minivan or rental car inside!

I dont think there is one truck on the market, including the new up and coming F150 or Nissan Titan that can match the GM/Chevy full size interiors. The quality, feel, comfort and style is unmatched. Every time I get in my truck I always appreciate the plush and styled interior. Its more like a luxury vehicle than some boring truck or mini van.

had to sign up overthere and give them a little reading material. I wasnt sure if a RCSB hemi would beat a SS I gave them the benefit of the doubt...
