Default [OFF TOPIC] RAM TOUGH

I saw this Dodge Ram while at Spring Carlisle. Very nice job :yesnod: . Not a vette, but I thought I'd share :) .

Very Nice Ram! Dodge was my first fascination of cars. I still like them, although I don't currently own a Dodge. I have been thinking of buying either the new Dodge Ram SRT (with the Viper V-10, 0-60 in 5 seconds!), or more realistically a Dodge Dakota R/T 5.9L. That way, my vette doesn't have to be a daily driver.

I own a Dodge Intrepid. However - the only Dodge that I'm really interested in is the Dodge Viper! That's the only late model sports car that I would consider buying (if I would have the $$$ available).. Well - I could have bought a used one already for the money that I have already in my 68'. I'm approaching $40k and the car doesn't even have working windshield wipers, no A/C, no Power anything....... I think I'm CRAZY :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

:cheers:

Olivier

I have a 95 Ram 5.2L 5 speed for my daily driver. It has 37,000 miles on it
and has been a reliable trouble free vehicle. My wife has a 98 Avenger which
looks cool style wise but is really lacking in the performance department.
Although it has been reliable and makes a good road trip car.

Mike:
I'd be afraid to take my 'Vette anywhere near that Dodge! I'm sure that thing would have no problem at all running over any 'Vette. :eek:

And does this truck have a bumper or rear window decal that states...

"If you can't dodge it, ram it..."

shotgun...I have a dakota 5.9 R/T now!! its great. defintely got some nice ***** for a truck, but as soon as the SRT comes out, im gonna be doing some budgeting and getting money together where i can :eek: I know already i want one soo bad! The 5.9 is great, but i dont think its realistic unless your on a budget like I was... the lightening can spank it easily :rolleyes:
The SRT apparent is going to run 12.9's out of the box...imagine with a little spray? The 5.9 would be really quick tho with a SCer and some minor mods if you dont mind screwing around with it....thats my other option if i dont go with the SRT

this was the pic from the dealer I bought it from....shows the color good unlike my POS camera

I always thought it would be fun as hell to have one of those. I'd love to turf someone's lawn (someone who deserved it) with something like that. Redman, Lynard Skynard, junkyard dog in the back. Cool. :yesnod:

Hey I like that! Notice the extra set of headlights and larger grill in the front. This truck was just too :cool: .

Bence I'm with ya, I'd hate to be in the vette if this guy ever lost his breaks :lol: !
