Dodge is a little full of itself I think. Just because a 'Cuda could smoke a Chevelle 30 years ago doesn't mean a 4 X 4 dually with an engine of the same name can too.

This is the "all new" 5.7 litre Hemi to replace the ~40 year old 360 "knockmaster" V8.

It looks to be a nice modern design with excellent power. It is about DAMN time the ram has a nice gas engine. After owning two rams with the 360 and switching to a supercrew I'm sold on the Triton engine and Ford build quality. I'll take a wait and see attitide on the new HEMI 1500 RAM for now

That Hemi is back-
I saw a TV show a few weeks ago where they took a brand new 1/2 ton shortbed reg cab Dodge, pulled the stock 318 out and dropped in one of these Hemi's, only they had it built to like 525 horse. That was a badazz truck!

Exclamation Did you know that

Dodge has copyrighted the letters "SRT-8" ?
i see it's reported here as well :

I am guessing it is for the next generation Dakota R/T...

No offense to any dodge owners. I am a fan of the old bodystyle over the new one unless it is all black with those 20's. Still chrysler sells inferior products if you ask me. Their trannies make our shop a lot of money. -Mat-

I Think Ford should have a commercial with the L in the same situation as the Dodge just with a little civic all riced out. The guy in in rice bowl should roll down his window and say,"Yooooooo duuuuuude does dat shiz got NOS???!!!!'
Then the L should smoke him.
