standby Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Stopped by the Dodge place to check it out. Yellow, not my first pick of colors but if you like attention.... I am by no means a Dodge fan, but this was a really nice truck in/out. Salesman came out to greet, had the VHO sitting right beside the Ram so was waiting for the old "time to get a dodge?" conversation, but to my surprise he spent more time checking out my truck than I did with the Ram. I started the Ram (didn't ask to test drive) and was really surprised. Expected more rumble, grunt....something. I know these are fast trucks, but you wouldn't know by the idle. The push button start is pimp. Now for the shocker....sticker showed 9mpg city/12mpg hwy and price of $53,029. Daaaammmnnn. Hope this one sells local, would love to check one out at a light. I just gotta know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 They still have a difficult time hooking up, just too much torque and not enough rubber out back!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_forma Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 They still have a difficult time hooking up, just too much torque and not enough rubber out back!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sounds like the 454SS, mad balls but cant hook up for crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspentaylor Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 I do not like Dodges either, but my neighbor's trucks are pretty cool. He has a Rumble Bee and a SRT10. I have to say, the SRT10 is not that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateZ Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Im not a dodge fan either, but the inside of that truck has to be the nicest truck interior i have ever seen. Doesn't even seem like dodge would be the ones to make the interior, lol. The seats are sooo freakin comfy and nice, quad cab has quad captains chairs rest of the inside is nice too... it's sweet i love it.

superman Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Yea you have to give dodge hands down on that truck. I would like to drive the regular cab one. I would promise not to burn rubber . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateZ Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Those regular Dodge trucks do sell but that 50K price tag on the SRT's for what ? Oh the 500 HP <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats exactly why i didn't buy one. lol Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 I hear there is a SRT10 quadcab owner, I *think* he is on the SRT forum, whose stock QuadCab SRT10 ran as fast, if not FASTER than a regular cab SRT10, but he was running on an 1/8th mile track. The 4 speeds are what screw the regular cab truck's times up it appears? Nice looking trucks, but they are WAYYYYYYYY too expensive to be a family transportation truck for MY family. I realize they have expensive drivetrains, brakes, etc.... but if they aren't affordable it might as well be a Viper with a trailer, as far as I'm concerned. I can afford to watch either, but to own them would be a BIG purchase. Not a "transportation" purchase. They look nice, and perform great for a truck. I'm still not sure about the rear wing. It looks OK from many angles, but to me it seems weird on a truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
