I test drove one about a month ago before buying a 2004 rcsb Silverado. There isn't really anything special about the Rumble Bee, it's a limited edition appearance package($2500extra??). They are well optioned Hemi Rams, RCSB, 2wd or 4wd, 20's, and the 3.92 posi. Only they have badges, graphics, a special # badge, etc.
EDIT: I saw what looked to be a quad cab Rumble Bee today, so I guess they are not just RCSB's. Unless someone just dressed up a quad cab.

I will be racing my stock 04 regulard cab hemi ram soon when the Texas boys have there little get together at Hallsville on the 16th, and get some real world results. I figure it should be a close race.

They run pretty good. Not near as fast as all the hype. They are so overrated. If they wernt all hemi this hemi that, they would be a decent truck.

In theory they should run about a 15.1 or so in the 1/4mile. I run a 14.6 (15.0 at 2200ft alt) in the 1/4mile but I have headers and a cat back exhaust, my truck is a reg cab short box hemi. Just something to compare to.

Ive seen a regular cab Hemi w/20's with exhaust and intake in summer run a best of 16.00 it might have a 15.8 in it but there is no stock hemi running anywhere close to a 15.1-I think they have worse TM type issues than chevy!

the hemi trucks are real tuning restricted, i saw a rumble bee run a 13.7 last night at the local drag strip, i didnt get a chance to ask him what he had, but not all of them are slow, not trying to stir things up, i dont really like them and theres alot of hype. but theres some fast ones too.
