The big issue with Dodges is their depreciation. They take more of a hit than a comparable Ford or Chevy truck when you drive a new one off the lot. That's why around here, you don't see that many Dodges unless they are real old, that means that people will buy them after the depreciation is finished. People don't want to buy something that won't have much value come trade-in or selling time.

Think back about 10 or 11 years ago. If a person drove in a Ford or Chevy dealers lot with a Dodge truck, the folks there would chuckle, knowing that they were going to make some money on selling them a new truck, because the trade in value was so low on that one.

HEMI writeup

Found this article recently concerning the new HEMI. Sounds more than just an average engine design to me.

It even looks easy to change the spark plugs!

(as easy as 16 plugs could be )

Who gives a rat's patootie if he beats you in a race or not? Are we teenagers in muscle cars? If you like your truck better than his, be content with that and don't be threatened by what others say. My reply would be to him, "I don't care how fast your hemi goes, I'll take my Ford any day". Just my opinion, 'O course.
