I'm getting scared just reading about this new mighty Dodge... I don't even have my L yet, and now I'm second guessing myself for wanting it... NOT... Brian must've forgot what MOPAR means.

Thumbs down

I see the 2 little goat humpers made it over to the big boys page.

It seems there was a salesman traveling through Vergie KY one day. He passed by one of the residents homes and observed a man engaged in breeding practices with a goat in the front yard. He runs up and pounds on the door and a kid answers it. "There's a man having sex with a goat in your front yard!" he shouts. The kid replys:"Thaaaats okay, thaaaats my daaaaaad."

Damn 4D THNDR as mean as that was, that was pretty funny.

Now which type of racing does Dodge dominate? NASCAR? The offroad races? I dont hear too much about them boys.

If you ask me, Mopar was showing its muscles in the 60's... with the 426 Hemi, they really dont have much to compete now, except the Viper, They do good in the races with the Viper... I hope they can do well with NASCAR as well... that is if the morons over seas will let that go on... I'm sure they will say, "Well.. we cant let Dodge have its name out there, that takes away from Mercedes, Lets pull the plug on that as well"

Oh well.... as long as I have my dak.. I can try to make it faster... (I'm catchin up..

Well, maybe it was stupid, but now USA Today has published a story quoting a DCX source that the hemi is dead, and the company that was making the tooling for them has stopped making the tools. Looks to me like it's dead. Just what I think,

I wouldn't be too worried if it wasn't dead either..The reason those dodges have a high payload is for all the extra trannies they have to carry around to make it on a trip.. Seriously Dodge has one of the WORST drivetrains I know of..They take all of the good parts and still can't make something durable. A friend of mine blew out his Auto with a wimpy little 318..I drove a dually that shelled out 4th gear in the bulletproof NV4500..Dodge(and it's owners *nod to Tbird) never fail to amaze me with their ignorance and stupidity(see I can actually spell Tbird)..Just another classic example of a Dodge owner that wishes he could have afforded a Ford..

Oh by the way, what do the new R/T owners think of the new '01 tail-lights..You're the people that'll see them the most..

You know, there is also the vapor factor here. Ford does it too, but I am not scared of a Hemi R/T with 350hp and such until it is actually in showrooms, and not in some lab at Dodge. Put up, or shut up.

What is more retarded BTW? Chevy trucks with bowtie-crimped exhaust tips, or Dodge trucks with tail lens-covers that have a Ram emblem and the word "RAM" cut out in them?

I dont know if dodge is coming out with the hemi R/T, but if they do, you better believe that they'll give the Ls a real good spankin stock for stock, and when modded, watch out!
