the challenger is alright!:shades

[slickwilly]

The Ram cut-aways are pretty cool, never seen that before. I'm not a fan of the wheels they decided on for the Challenger though. :(

[slickwilly]

Also, it's a shame the new Ram is sooooo ugly.

[OxmanWI]

Sweeeeeet! :D

Agreed, but the loss of the leaf springs for the coil 4-link will really make the ride nice for a light duty truck.

wow does that challenger look like an old ford granada from the side. Gag me with a spoon. Cool new venture t-case pics though!

I really like it. Was really my only motivation behind going to the show, i wanted to see it. Will be on the lots in may.

I dont know, i like the big body old school look to it.

[BAD LS1]

To each their own, i will be looking forward to the first time the monte rapes one on the street.

[Breecher_7]

I havent seen the exact specs but i imagine the SRT8 Versions are around 425hp, With DR's, i think id put my money on the Challenger. But we shall see. I could be completely wrong. Truth be told, none of us have seen this thing run yet.

[slickwilly]

I've seen some specs, they're supposed to run ~13.3 bone stock on factory tires. :shrug: Put some 17s or smaller on there with a decent drag radial and you'd probably be looking at some good times. Too bad they weigh so goddamn much.

air bags on the bigger trucks to follow maybe?? :thumbsup

I doubt it, not cost effective. I think it is safe to say they keep the Leaf springs. Look at what chevy did with the 1500's, they dumped the torsion bars and went to setup like dodge. But if you look at the 2500's, like mine. They still have the Torsion bars and I wish to god that they woudl have gotten rid of them. Actualy I wish they would have put a solid axle back in the *****, but id settle for seeing the torsions go away. :alcoholic

[WickedSix]

I understand where you are coming from but with the heavy light duty market getting a little more extravagant, it could be a viable option. Then didums and a dudley can ride in their rig with comfort........ and real truck owners would have a little control over their truck when using it for its real purpose.... just a thought

We can hope, anyhow. My dad's '98 GC with coil springs and solid axles rides like hell. It's lifted on spacers though, which doesn't help any.
