Dodge Rumble Bee
Does anyone know much about them, I saw one today it was pretty quick, but I'm sure the looks are better than the performance as a 1st gen ford lightning blew it away down the highway. They dont do bad for stock though.

i think the rumble bee is nothing special about it. Its a ram 1500 reg cab short bed with 20' wheels the 5.7L Hemi with a small resonating muffler to make it "rumble" No even sure if it is 4x4. Just a black truck with a yellow strip or a yellow truck with a black stripe......oh yeah and a bee on it.

They list 0-60 times for stock Superduty 6.0s in the 8s range, depending on cab, bed etc so unless you spent some $$ and added some HP save yourself the embarassment. My stock F250's 0-60 is around 8.3s to 8.8s so I'll pass unless he wants to race me with 7500lb trailers behind both of us!

No, it is not. I know someone that has one. She likes it a lot and it is a nice looking truck inside and out.

My buddies ran 15.70's (4x4, without posi, so spinning for the 1st 100 ft)), so they are not a slouch. He just installed a LS rear in it, so it'll likely go 2 - 4 tenths quicker. One in 2wd would likely beat most 5.4's and likely the 1st gen lightning.
Also, the new Grand Cherokee with the hemi is running 14's. The hemi is no slow motor. 350 HP and similar torque.
