    09 Ram R/T FAIL

    They may have finally figured out how to pull power out of the 5.7 but did they ever FAIL on the design, interior is not bad but the body and wheels My tuner said that he has already tuned one of these new engines for DC and with just a tune they are making equal power to that of the 6.1 Hemi

    Awww, come on Wade. I think the truck looks better than the Ford, Nissan, Toyota, Chevy. But is does not look better than the new GMCs. Of the GM trucks, the GMC looks waaay better than the Chevy. IMHO.

    Still, the 5.7L HEMI, 390 hp, 407 ft.lbs. Wow, Atleast someone is producing a motor that is beating the Toyota on output numbers.

    I am also anxious to see how the new rear end suspension is going to pan out...

    Just remember, just because Toyota has more power.... It's still an ugly pile of crap.

    Well I will give dodge props for staying in the game. GM is pussing out. The gas prices will go back down. we just need to use our own oil. As fir the looks of the truck, I dont like the headlights. The rest of the truck actually would look nice with a drop and nice wheels. As for the whole Hemi thing... For the birds.

    Your right the GMC looks great I really love the new Tahoe. I like the front end of the R/T but that back end looks like a rednecks farm truck who put some 1" duals out the back with a glass pack and now hes cool. They should just bring back the SRT10 and make it AWD as there are tfer cases and 9" ford rearends that will hold up to the power now. Oh well I'm still faster-HEHE

    Phew. Atleast you didn't say, "...but that back end looks like a rednecks farm truck who put some 3.5" duals out the back with a Flowmaster and now hes cool." Cause if you did, that would make me cry...

    I dunno I kind of like, ...but that back end looks like a rednecks farm truck who put some 3.5" duals out the back with a Flowmaster and now hes cool.

    But As long as I try and stay faster than it then I have no problem

    David, don't forget thats Dodge horse power. a 190 hp vortec v6 could out run a 345 hp hemi lol.. Now I am in shock here, GM is cutting down there truck market, and here Dodge is making a nice truck...... Not to big on the rear like David, but that is a lot of "power" in a small truck like that with out being modded. 1993 was the last year chevy made a fast truck, 454SS. If they would have done the SSS in a single cab that would have been sick. Oh well, lucky for us we make our trucks fast
