Last night in town, there were 2 guys from Alabama with a 4 door Ram (with the 5.7), and they thought it was BAD. I started to talk to them and said I was sure that my Titan would easily take them mainly off the fact that every test in magazines shows like a 1.5 sec difference in 0-60, but they didnt think so. He even once said "It's only got a 5.6"; I guess he didn't realize that 100cc is a tiny difference, and a DOHC design is far superior to a pushrod with a hemispherical head. Well we decided to race across the bridge from a rolling 5mph start, and it was not even close. I had 3-4 lengths instantly and kept pulling. After that, we raced back across from a stoplight (stand still), and it was even worse. Need less to say, he was shocked that a 4wd Titan just beat his 2wd almighty Hemi.
Yup.....nothing new here! LOL Nice kill. Until those Dodge QC start slapping on mods....they will keep seeing our tail lights. Whens the new one due next anyways?
The new ram? 2009 is the big debut for all the new dodge stuff. There should be a 1500 diesel and rumors floating around everywhere that the 5.7 liter hemi will be replaced for a larger hemi either being a new 5.9 liter or they will start sticking the 425 hp 6.1 liter hemi in the dodges.
Nice kill!!
I had a 4X4 Quad cab Hemi as a loner car when I had my power steps installed. I couldn't wait to get my Titan back. That Hemi didn't even start to wake up until about 30 mph!

I had some fun with one of these today on the way home from work. It belongs to a buddy of mine. Ram 1500 Mega Cab. It wasn't even close with the extra weight he's hauling around. I wonder how I'd fare against a short box regular cab.
