The focus should be on energy sources not horse power,
or all the liberals can drive pintos and we can drive big cars... works for me

The 300C is an awesome sedan. At $35000, it kicks euro trash
strudel wagons to shame. It uses the 345H.P. Hemi.With the MDS. system. Zero to 60 times given at 6.5 seconds but some reports as found in the Wall Street say 5.7 seconds.

At the same time, Chrysler also unveiled the Ram SRT-10 Quad Cab, a four-door version of the regular-cab performance truck

Starting at $45,500 .... and going up.

At the same time, Chrysler also unveiled the Ram SRT-10 Quad Cab, a four-door version of the regular-cab performance truck Chrysler launched earlier this year. The truck is powered by the same 500-horsepower V-10 engine that's in the Dodge Viper.

Down hwe in NC, I sorta like the H2. Too many wannabies with a "mine is bigger than yours" complex. Between my 289 FIA Cobra and the H2, these guys are toast. Got speed, and torque. But, that's just me. Karen likes the H2; I prefer the Snake.

Oh, now they are going to build a tough truck? I guess all those Ram Tough ads in the past were just pulling our leg, huh?

My one and only Dodge truck cured me of ever owning a 2nd. When you claim to be tough, make your transmissions hold up for a few weeks, ok? We been making automatics for nearly 3/4 of a century. It's not rocket science.

Great! A 500 horsepower engine that gulps gasoline like college kids gulp beer. About 9 mpg going down a long hill. LOL, LOL, LOL !

I used to have a real Power Wagon, a 1971 3/4 ton model. 318 V-8, 4 speed, positraction, and PTO winch. Not much power for speed and acceleration, but more the type of power I think of when you say "Power Wagon", plenty of ability to move big heavy stuff over all kinds of terrain. It'd move the earth if you could keep enough gas in it.

If I was some kind of leftist whacko nitwit I'd be saying "who needs a 500 HP pickup truck?". But I'm not so I say if you want one get one. I'll settle for my 300 HP Suburban (bigger than a H2, and I think it will carry more weight), my 200 HP Cherokee, my 150 HP Aerostar, and my geriatric 85 HP 4X4 S-10 pickup (which, incidentally, is the one of the bunch I'd vote least likely to get stuck on an off road outing). If my math is right, I think that adds up to about 735, and I think the girls have about another 350 between them (and we presently have a dog for each one plus a couple spares - anybody want a pup?). Yeah my driveway is a bit crowded, and I could buy the whole fleet 4 or 5 times for the price of one of those 500HP Dog Rams. You pay your money and take your choice I guess. I think a smart man will spend more on his house than his pe.. uh, pickup truck < /rant >.

The Power Wagon will come equipped with one engine, the 345-horsepower Hemi V-8.

Hmmm... It's a hemi, so it's gotta be good! ;-)

Only a fool would take his new Dodge V-10 Power Ram mud-bogging. But a lot of them look like that's exactly what happened.

The "Rumble Bee."

Seen one today driving around. Kinda freaked me out, being an old Super Bee fanatic.
