how is ford underpowered?

v6 vs v6 ford has 90 more hp
small v8 vs small v8 and ecoboost ford has 50 and 55 more hp
larger v8 vs large v8 ford has 20 more hp

so i fail to see why you felt your incorrect post was needed other than trying to sound like a pompous jackrabbit.

If he posted this a little less like bragging about his new truck then he might have some compliments. I like the new dodges, they are beastly, and the toolboxes are sweet too. only time will tell if this gen ram is any better then the last.

to 06yz250f, if your compairing hemi to 6.2, when you compare the big v8's to eachother, ford has more displacement on its side so I would hope it has more horsepower.

I was given keys to a brand new, at the time, 2008 Ram 2500 Hemi Big Horn edition 4x4 for work. Drove it all summer, and that thing barely had enough power to get out of its own way. Seemed like it made all the hyped power at the high end and not in the useful low end range. Just my thoughts.

At the moment, Fiat only owns 30% of Chrysler LLC, but with the refinancing of the US & Canadian loans the 16% increase in ownership is expected to happen by the end of the month, making Fiat's total ownership 46%, reducing the VEBA ownership from 59.2%.

By the end of 2001, Fiat expects to finish the year at 51% ownership ( pending Chrysler Group has an unadjusted combined 40 mpg vehicle made from a Fiat platform ), reducing the VEBA ownership to 41.5% which leaves the US Gov at 6% ownership and Can gov at 1.5% ownership ( this is stock ownership not loans ).

Fiat is scheduled to be the majority owner of Chrysler LLC, but no plans to completely own the company.

Not too sure what happens after DEC-2011 if everything is on schedule. Don't know if Chrysler Group LLC will still IPO next year, considering how poor of a showing GM has had since the IPO ( 6 new lows in the past 11 days ), and the amount of debt from refi of the US & CAN gov loans.

As for why the new thread, got his rear handed to him in his other threads, so he needed to divert the attention another direction..

My experience with Chrysler products has never been very good.

I have an 85 Daytona Turbo Z that needs a new head gasket every oil change. Rarely drive it anymore even though I put a quite a bit of work into as it was my first car and wanted to restore it.

I had a 2000 Durango that my dealer's service department had more often than I did.

My last and final was an 01 Dakota that kept falling apart.

They have nice designs but there is no substance behind them. Bad motors and worse transmissions make a bad combination.

i had a dodge dakota a while back. actually a long while back.. such a piece of junk that dodge couldnt convince themselves well enough that it was quality let alone tell me that. after 3 months they bought it back from me. never even looked at a dodge as an option again.

did own a fiat spyder. what a fast car. was always tweaking on it. dual carbs and dual points, but it was fun and quick. so i guess i really owned 2 dodges or fiats.
