Hemi's make me laugh
Coming home tonight, there's a hill that hardly anyone goes up at the speed limit (65 mph) I got around this dodge durango w/ hemi, and got to the next light where he pulled up next to me. Me being inda ticked off at him driving slow causing mee to catch the light I gunned it and left him in a thick black cloud 
. The next light he pulls up, starts to creep, and we both take off. He kept up till about 40, and then I pulled ahead like he had 4 fat chicks inside. This went on for two more lights, where I let him get ahead of me (I'd rather drive safe than stupid) I pulled up behind him, and he took off. I drove slow, caught him next light, and then smoked him again. Just to assert myself once more, I left off the pedal then mashed it again to clog up his air filter. Hemi what???

Anyone that buys one of those fell for a maketing ploy...
It's kind of like buying a Saturn. The cars suck but supposedly they don't hassle you when you buy one and people fall for it everyday.
Never in any of their commercials does dodge ever give horsepower ratings on those engines. They just always say hemi really loud and people buy them even though they're complete junk.

335-345 is announced HP on the "semi" hemis...Automotive News had an article on crank vs r/w HP...the Dodge Ram with 345 at the crank managed only 242 at the r/w.
btw...a stock Titan can usually take a stock hemi. Titan in the dyno tests had 305 at the crank...266 at the r/w.

come on guys, i got a 04 dodge ram with the hemi. i also have an 02 superduty that i just got. as far as getting it to outrun people, naw. i really just liked the truck. i will say, if they would have had the color i wanted, 4x4, blah, blah, blah with the 4.7, i would have gotten that one just the same. i will say that i could keep ip with a friend of mines f-250 untill he put his programer on, that was a different story.

I have noticed that the Hemi crowd enjoys the loud factory exhaust. I had a 1500 Crew cab 4x4 Hemi messing around with my slow 2006 CC F250 with 5.4 3.73 and Auto. I know he can take me but dang they act like they are all driving BMW 540's or Corvettes or Honda Civics
