Hemi Ram

I was out driving the other day when this dressed up hemi ram drives up beside me. It has all kinds of harley davidson decals all over it with huge dual exhaust wich sounded so good by the way! When he saw my car he immediately started reving and taunting me like a goof! So we catch a light so I figured I'd show him my colors. Light goes green, I roll into softly but hard enough to jump 2 car lengths right away. I had to shut it down early being that we were on a street. It was obvious that it was going to get ugly. Nobody respects third gens, its like they think we're easy prey? Of course he did the famous speeding drive by after a loss.

HAHAHAHA! Yeah, very few people respect third gens, and even fewer expect them to have an LT1 from a 4th gen. Nice kill. Woke him up I bet.

Nice run but 345hp isn't enough when it is trapped in a 5000lb brick.

I wouldn't say they are all something to laugh at. I've seen and worked on some quick Rams. Though you'd probably know he's not stock when you hear the incredibly loud blower whine.

Another Ram would be the SRT-10. Not sure how they run, but they have the exact same 8.3L V10 that the Viper SRT-10 has. 500HP, 525ft-lb or something?

I once saw the HEMI badge on a early fourth gen Trans Am. I'm not sure if the guy was ignorant, or if it was supposed to be a joke. When the light turne red, I was right behind him, and my friend jumped out of the car with his camera phone and took a picture of it, then jumped back in. The guy in the TA was laughing.
