Post Dodge won't give up......read this

I hope this isn't a duplicate or old news. In my February 2 Autoweek I found a column on:

Ready to Rumble?

Starting this month, Dodge will begin cranking out 3700 special-edition Ram SLT's with the "Rumble bee" package. The truck gets no extra horsepower, but it will have unique body cladding, body-colored taillight guards, a hood scoop (almost identical to the SRT-10), chrome exhaust, 20-inch wheels and cool exterior graphics and interior trim, including Rumble Bee logos on the door inserts, and a numbered badge. Like its namesake, the truck comes in two colors, yellow and black. Package pice is $2,600, available only on the Ram 1500 SLT regular cab, two or four wheel drive models.

So, don't be surprised if you see a dodge that at first glance looks like the SRT-10 - the only thing these two models have in common - all flash and no go - another Dodge in our rear views.

D-Day

At least they are listening to the public and giving them what they want.

I still hoping for that 500HP and six speed L with tires that hook up and never wear out

I think it is a riot that dodge puts on the srt like the lightning, then drops the f-n bumble bee like the boss.

What's next, they gonna have a 2006 intrepid come out with the old charger body styles like the retro look mustangs????

I really like, and don't see anything wrong with it. It's an appearance package, just like the Boss.

The only thing that really pissed me off about Dodge was the Dodge Ram GTX. First of all don't bring back a nameplate from a high performance muscle car to stick on a truck, and if you must at least use a Dodge nameplate...

Ya old news but like I said in the other post,
I do actually like it better than the SRT-10.
Put a S/C on that bad boy, and your in

I like everything about the SRT 10 except:
the nose
the useless Tranny
the more useless 2 foot throw stick shift
the even more useless not powerful enough clutch
and the fact it cant tow or haul weight.
Other than that and the fact it's 10-20K overpriced,
it's ok....

I like the Dodge look on some to an extent.
Which brother use to show his custom paint Dodge Pick Up
with some body work on the nose, Blown Right ????
I like that style, cause it's the smaller version of the big ***
Fugly Duely Nose they're using on the SRT 10.
This nose looks better and smaller too, IS IT ???

Gee whats next, a mustang look a like ???
