Drove a new HEMI
Wasn't nearly what I expected. My slow *** 4x4 could have hung. It was a rcsb. it was quick, but I guess I was expecting more. It also rode like crap. I think I'll stick with Chevy, and just swap cams b4 1000 miles

I will have to say that I know what you mean about how the new ones were not so exciting. However, it must be true what they say about the Hemi motor breaking in because they seem to run very well on the street and track for limited mods. I saw and have on video a bone stock rcsb hemi on 20s run a 15.4(or 5, cant remember) @88 mph. So they are pretty quick i think. Im pretty much a chevy fan but if I was in the market I would def. look into them.

Yeah, me and beeftip drove a couple and they all kinda have been let downs.... But I have also raced one on the street, all i think it had was I think a superchips and exhaust... compared to my cam, headers, pcm, other minor bolt ons.... we stayed dead even...

Why did you post this in 3 different spots?
We're all one big family now (well sort of ).

And just remember kids most ricer cars are Hemis also
