If you saw what auto manufactures did to the vehicles engines before they are delivered. You would not care if you floored your new truck for a very long time.

Oh I'm not a break it I'm easy believer. I make sure the engine is good and warm and tear it up!!! Floored it at like 30 miles! Give it some cool off time before killing it too. Let the rings seat!! I've done this with most of my motors and mine are always faster, never burn any oil and usually little better on fuel.

Maybe it's the video and the look of the speedometer, but for all the hype, I don't see the 5.0L really moving out. That flooring it from 18 to 65mph really wasn't what I expected.

It's very even with a 2011 hemi with 3.92 gears. Much faster than 2010 5.4, but definitely not a sports car!
