I have a question for you guys. I have a stock 03 silverado reg cab with the 5.3 liter locking diff and 3.73 gears. Would I have a chance of beating a stock reg cab dodge ram with the hemi engine. Lets say 0-60 and 1/4 mile. Does any one have any times for either one of this trucks. Any info would be appreciated.

Once again I'll "Dodge" the flying bullets, and just post some regular cab 4x2 Hemi times.

 

14.8 @ 93mph is the best I've heard off of a completely stock 4x2 reg. cab HEMI.

 

15.0-15.3 seems to be the norm.

 

My Dad has a 99 Silverado Ext Cab 5.3. I have driven it plenty, and have driven the new hemi.. They both seem kinda snotty in the lower rpm's, and then come in like gangbusters around 2600-2800rpm. Between the 2 setups, it would be a close run.

:thumbs: Exactly. After driving a Hemi 100+ miles, I would put it in the same ballpark as a 5.3. And I know my SS will spank a 5.3, so that puts the SS in a league above the Hemi.

 

Dodge did their homework and came out with the first real small block to compete with a Chevy in what? Decades? Ever? Not bad for a first effort. But Dodge still has some catching up to do, no pun intended. ;) Next, maybe Toyota will take their NASCAR pushrod V-8 and put it in a truck.....nah, LOL.

 

There's a reason I traded in my '02 Z71 with the 5.3, the SS kicks some serious behind! :smash:

Bring on the rain, ice & snow....let's go! :smash:
