5.9 = 360.
I test drove a 5.9 RT before I bought my vert... It wasnt too bad, but I couldnt really get on it cause the sales man was with me. Yeah, its only got 250 horses, but its more than any of our cars ever had stock! (not including TTA & Firehawk)
And with a good exhaust system, those things sound bad azz!

I didn't realize that was on the road, I just thought it was in your driveway, didn't notice the driver either. Nice pic though.

I hope his 5.9 is modded...The thing only has 250hp stock LOL.
Isn't a 5.9 a 380? Dodge should have built it up a little lol.

yeah they both are on but, why aren't the parking lights on. My iroc did that once where the fog lights were on but the parking lights weren't hasn't done it since though. And by the way nice pic.

Keep in mind this picture is a reflection. Non-white lights aren't going to show up very well.
Everything that is supposed to be on, is on... a picture from five minutes after the above:

There is a Yellow 5.9 RT running around here with 475hp and 700+tq at the wheels. Built and Supercharged. Thing is bad.
I'll see if I can grab some pics of it next time I see it.

Yea they had 240hp... and some IROC's/Z28's/GTA's had 245hp... but once again, we find ourselves in a situation where hp does not tell the whole story. I think if you look, you'll find that the L98 puts out 245hp/345ft. lbs. tq and the RT is something more like 240hp/300tq. That is a big difference!

L98, if you ever see a firebird waving and honking, it might be me... I'll have to keep my eyes open for your car! Looks like the shine alone will blind me!
