Hemi drivers must be stupid...

Well last nite i was out with some buddies watching the pens game. Well on my way home at about 10 at nite was doing good not getting stoped at any red lights well i finally got one. So as i"m sitting there this brand new 2500 hemi pulls up with some punk white kid driving it acting like he is all that. Well i could tell that he wanted to run cause he kept creeping up trying to get the jump off the light. well the light turned green and we both jumped on it he was staying pretty close for the first 30 feet or so then i just handed it to him all he seen after that was tail lights and black smoke there was enough smoke that his head lights were disapearing. Need less to say the next red light he didn"t want to race anymore hahaha.

Nice. I dusted a Hemi 1500 a couple weeks ago. Funny thing was I was *behind* him at the light, then we both nailed it and I had to change lanes to keep from running up his tail gate... By the time I got off it, he was eating soot.

To your point about them not being the sharpest tool in the drawer, at the next light, he asked what I had under the hood. If the door badges weren't enough, I guess the "7.3 PowerStroke Diesel" stickers on the hood weren't obvious enough for him either. Loser.

That's true, but it was Dodge that decided to screw up the Hemi name by making it a gimmick. Those engines don't have hemispheric heads anyway...

Actually, I'm not exactly sure what that statement means...

The "PowerStroke" gets it's name because of the way it's fueled during the "power stroke". Just like the Hemi got its name from the HEMIspheric heads.... A PowerStroke is still a "PowerStroke". Can't say that about the Hemis nowadays. But still, aren't there better head designs these days anyway?? I thought that's why they don't use that design anymore. That's a true statement, right?? (I'm a little behind the times in gasser head tech )
