:rofl:
Haha, can you say neon srt? However, gm is no slouch at making useless cars more useless as well... :lol: Cobalt SS wtf is that? :lol: And rebadging junk and selling it as a diffferent car... Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Lesabre, all the same rolling boxes o' crap! :lol: But...ford wins the race here. Explorer, Mountaineer, didn't even change a body panel except for the front 2 inches of hood, and sold it...and people bought it...at a premium. WTF! :lol:
Unfortunately, the big three went for a nostalgic George Bush-esque (stay the course) approach where a progressive, new way of thinking might have made better headlines than we are seeing right now. Hope they learned.... ;) Modeling these cars after Muscle Cars is a great idea on paper. Poorly executed by all three companies. Original theme: Cheap and good. New models: Expensive and Bad. :lol:
I will take this twin turbo S.O.B. though!
to bad they didn't show it driving down the street.
did anyone read the replies on that page? it's funny how many people don't know what a cam will do to the idle of a car. lol

we have a hemi that sounds like that, too bad the coronet has rusted to pieces since the engine was rebuilt. bonus points to the person who can tell me which hemi this is :grin_nod:
(http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h156/ekoso/IMGP0103.jpg)
Its for sure an earlier hemi. One of the smaller ones. My guess would be the 331?
sorry, its bigger than that :grin_nod:
392 ???

no sir, the person who built that motor use to have it in a tractor pull tractor, id say it is close to 800hp. my father is waiting for the right donor car, the coronet rt it was in has seen better days, ill post a pic when i get home
Sad demise for such a powerful motor!
At least put it on a motor stand!
:lol:
~Brian
here is the car it came out of. its a coronet R/T. the car was incredible back in the day, there was no way you could turn the cornder without the tires squeeling. the engine was rebuilt 18 years ago by the guy who originally sold it too my dad for the sum of 3000$, and it hasn't seen a car since. sad story, cuz i have a 454 for my 69 GTO, and it has been sitting for 5 years :'(

I know I know, dodge can do no wrong and they make the best shiznit on the planet.

I'm sure he's refering to the engine's efficiency and the ability to control the power. Without some sort of traction control, a supercharged eight cylinder or ten cylinder is useless.

But...new? over 40k for a 2wd truck is absolutely ridiculous! ANd what a resale depreciation...OMFG! A normal vehicle depreciation is enough to stop your heart, let alone a b.s. special edition. :help:
Oh yeah, no doubt.
You would have to be crazy to buy one of those trucks new.

gotcha. thought you were talking about the viper. the truck is kinda useless, but it still nuts how fast a truck like that is. 900hp blown, that would be cool but i havent seen a 8.2 srt10 getting over 700hp blown, theres a few with 800 but if you want 900 its time for tt's

As a Dodge employee, I can get $24-25000 off of a new Viper now.
Special incentive for employees only.
Employee price is almost $5,000 back of invoice, and now they have $20,000 rebate for Dodge employees or dealership staff.
You could buy a $90,000 Viper for around $65,000 with the discount.
I told my wife I would buy one if the economy was better. I would turn around and curb it and make $15,000 by selling it for less than a dealer could sell it for.

If you bought a Viper, wouldn't that make you Rk's dad? Talk about a purchase with bagage :lol:
