Got slapped around by Hemi RCSB
#11
A 5.7 all powerful HEMI should beat a 4.8. The HEMI is an entire Honda motor bigger and rated at 70hp more. Its kinda sad that stock for stock a HEMI (The most powerful V8 Dodge has) is considered an 'interesting' race for a 4.8 (The smallest least powerful V8 GM has)
A stock 6.0 swapped into a RCSB 1/2 ton would make a stock RCSB HEMI look silly. I dont know why the Dodge boys tend to think that the HEMI (Which has NOTHING to do with the 426 HEMI and is closer related in architecture to a Honda motor then the 426) is the end all of V8's.

I LOVE making them look stupid, especially when I tell them they lost to a V6, you can imagine the look on there face. I tried to get HemiKLR as my plates, but it was denied, i must have gotten a mopar fan that did my review.

Dodge did a great job marketing those trucks, they've got all those guys thinking they have the fastest trucks on the planet.
I would be LMAO if i only got beat by a few truck lengths by the all-mighty hemi in my slow *** truck

I trip out reading yalls' posts, the HEMI is a good motor, and the aftermarket is cranking some good stuff out for them now, its not exactly tweaked to perfection yet, but its coming. Unlike GM, you can to wal-mart buy anything almost performance oriented for GM, readily accessible, use to own them, so I know. But you have to agree, the dodge trucks have came a LONG way since the ealry 90s, and with the introduction of the 5.7 hemi they have some sharp trucks. Then the introduction of the SRT lineup, chevy has nothing at all to compete with it, stock for stock, purchased off the showroom floor.
2004 Dodge Ram RCSB running 2 tenths faster in the 1/4 mile than the 5.3 Silverado RCSB, info from Truckin Magazine.
2004 Dodge Ram SRT 10, fastest pickup truck ever produced.
Dodge Viper, GM has no match for it at all...........
SRT 4 Neon, one of the fastest sport compacts on the road, 13.8 1/4 mile times stock
SRT 6 Crossfire- 400 HP in a 6 banger, ultra light weight car
Magnum R/T HEMI.........13.9 sec 1/4 mile
300 "C" with hemi, 13.8 at a 101 mph bone stock!
SRT 300, last report was a 12.8 in the 1/4 mile bone stock
Charger R/T with HEMI 13.7 100 MPH in the 1/4 mile
AND ALL of the larger Dodge grouped vehicles being RWD
What does Chevy/GM offer for competiton???
The 2005 vette----which stole all the viper looks
the GTO-oversized CAVALIER and butt ugly, even the 2005 models which GM thought the extra 50 HP would generate some more sales, there is still 2004 models that are brand new and unsold all over NC/VA.
the CTS-V CADDY-probably the best bang for the buck car GM offers, other than the vette.
Monte Carlo SS, a supercharged 6 banger that runs 17s in the 1/4
Cobalt SS, another charged DUD!
The SSR, GM designer use to work for DC designed this after his work on the PT cruiser, another DUD from GM!
SS Silverado, a big AWD sport truck, good luck on the 2 WD model!!!
Why is some of you guys/gals have to criticize DC products so bad, you need to take a look at the GM products. The design crew they have now better get unemployed before they break GM and cause enough layoffs to ruin the world. GM has some nice stuff on the road as well and a few new upcoming rides that I hope will put them back in good standings, its in every news article you pick up that GM is heading down and down every day. Its sad the only true sports car that CHEVY has to offer is the vette, I wonder if they see the avg price of a vette being close to $50,000 will make them rethink a new camaro, firebird, T/A or something other than the GTO, that was a big let down. I have nothing against GM at all, we have several here in my family and I have owned them myself, just figured you guys needed some reassurance on the new dodge products currently already on the road.

I was waiting for you or Hemi777 to pop in
I wanted to post this on DodgeTruckWorld but I can't log in for some reason. I thought the guys would get a kick out of the post. I got beat fair and square so I'm not complaining. I was outgunned for sure but I couldn't pass up the chance to see by how much. Plus it makes for a better video when I come back with all the new parts on the truck instead of the shop floor. LOL
You know me though, I don't hate so I assume you meant my friend GoldenLeather.

Its not so much dodge products as the idiots that drive them. I cant tell you how many HEMI guys have told me about a chip they got and how they now have over 400hp.
The HEMI trucks are simply notorious for having idiots driving them that think they are fast. I had some retard revving next to me yesterday when my girl and I were in the CTS-V.
The main points here are that other than the SRT-10, stock trucks are not fast. Dont be a dipshit and think that they are (not you personally ).
