07 RL vs. ??dodge ram rl (i think thats what it is)

[bigo5552000]

the dodge ram is a friend of mine and he wanted to race me cause i beat his turbo eclipse and i guess he needed revenge(but he didnt get it). first ill compare the vehicles his is stock except for dual exhaust and drag radials. i am completely stock.we went from a dig and i got a little axle rap so i let off a little and he pulled about a half car on me then i hit second and started to pull on him slowly tell 110 and we ran out of road. so he ended up winning by 2 feet or so. so all in all i think i did pretty good since its a 4.9L vs a 2.0L oh and i stomped the shit out of the eclipse

I was under the impression that any 4.9L Ram wasn't very fast...

Wait a sec. Are you talking about a Ram with the 4.7 liter V8 or the 5.9 liter Hemi? If it was the 4.7 you should have walked him like he was standing still. The Hemi would keep right up with a stock RL if not edge it by a bit.

Its a 5.7 hemi. They had a 5.9 (not hemispherical) in the full size and Dakota R/T, but discontinued it when the hemi hit the market. They also have a 6.1 hemi, but it is reserved for the SRT market.
I would agree. You should have no problem with the 4.7 The 5.7 if set up right could be a handful for the RL, but completly do-able. My QC hemi has surprised its share of imports.
Also... My hemi has a speed governor that kicks in at 106. I doubt a stock 4.7 doesn't have this.

Thank you for the correction. Had a brain fart there. I was indeed refering to the 5.7 Hemi and not the old magnum 5.9 LA small block.

the HEMI trucks are not fast at all man. my friend just got an 05 and he lost to my friends dodge ram 5.9l and i totally destroyed that 5.9l truck when i had an intake and TB.

[newbieredline]

those hemi trucks will go mid 15's and we alll kno wat stock redlines can do..i went 14.7 @ 97mph stock and 14.3 with intake and a TB at 99.63 all with 2.4 60's
