Dodge Rumble Bee

got this guy who has a Dodge Ram Rumble Bee with the Hemi this guy swears up and down that he has beat a C5 corvette in the quarter mile and says hell smoke the crap out of me i know for a fact that he is liein out his aZZ i have a 97 Z Anniversary Editiion(intake)
do any of u guys have any stats or runs against one of these

Unless he is hiding a Viper engine or Supercharger in there he's full of bull-pucky, whoop his ass infront of his girl and make fun of him severely afterwards. I cant stand these Hemi idiots anymore, they all need put in their place. Er, what else can we put the Hemi into? ...Truck, SUV, 4 door sedan, Gay Stationwagon that we try to make cool and fast, errr, how about a Minivan so you can run 13's to and from soccer practice :rolleyes:

345 hp with a curb weight of around 4800 lbs is not going to cut it.

These Hemi guys crack me up.

For a truck, it's pretty quick. I ran a Rumble Bee quad cab shortbed at the track and just flat out destroyed him. He says he ran a 15.5 though, which is pretty good for a 5,000 lb. truck.

Anyway, go show the moron where he stands on the speed food chain.

And tell him not to break his tranny when he races you. ;)

Well the new trucks aren't running the same POS trannies anymore so that won't happen. A rumble bee has a chip a catback and an intake on it so it will make more power then your car but the weight will hurt it. He'll give you a race if he get traction.

Even if all the factory mods are good for an additional 50 horsepower(and that's being VERY optomistic), there is no way in hell that a 5000 pound truck with maybe 300 HP at the wheels is going to outrun ANY LT-1 F-body. I'm not saying that they're not fun/fairly quick trucks, but there's only so much torque available from 350 cubic inches. Hell, I used to think that my buddy's Dakota 5.9 R/T was fast until I actually raced him. Even if you do completely blow the launch I can guarantee you that you'll be flying past his happy ass by 60 MPH.

I agree you will not lose that race. I raced one in my t/a that had all sorts of mods including a 125hp shot that he forgot to mention and still won bad.

I cant stand these Hemi idiots anymore, they all need put in their place.

Took the words right out of my mouth! So many cocky morons with Hemi's. Those retards really need put in their place.

GAY STATION WAGON .............I love it. I put the wood to one of these fags with my z a few weeks back. Hemi is just a word and it dont mean ****.................its not a 426hemi.

no its not. its the regular 350 hemi that is in all the trucks. i know it only produces like 345 horspower and i dont know the torque but im pushing arond 300 hundred horsepower and about 325 torque, so i mean i have a slight weight advantage too. there is no way in hell that hell win but i was just askin what u guys thought

I would say that you have a HUGE weight advantage. 5000 pounds minus 3500 pounds equals a 1500 pound weight difference. That's about 1.5 seconds in the quarter right there, plus your car has far superior aerodynamics, a more efficient drivetrain, etc..... You will beat his ass like a red-headed step-child! Bet him every cent you can beg, borrow, or steal! :D

There is no way in hell he can beat you . Not possible .

let us know of the outcome

no its not. its the regular 350 hemi that is in all the trucks.

It ain't a real Hemi dude, just a wannabe LS1 that Dodge concocted and they call it "Hemi" so people start taking their products seriously.

It is a Hemi .
A Hemi is basically an engine with hemispherical heads.
The new Hemi engine has that traditional head desighn that makes ti a Hemi .
Only different is the new ones have 2 spark plugs per cylinder . So they fire better " Better emissions "
Might wanna check your facts next time ;) Before ya go Knocking the Hemi...Its not a wannabe engine . Although one reason they brought it back was its reputation " Marketing " it still puts down plenty of numbers per cube to hold its own as it has 345HP as a 5.7 liter .It is plenty pwerfule enough to earn my respect.
Only thing they need now is to put it in a sports car that cost..say....26k new and we will be good to go . :D

I like dodge..much better than ford..!! Ok I have a 2001 dodge ram and 92 talon awd turbo.The hemi motor is powerful its just that dodge has some dumb ideas on what to do with it.Like you said lets basically put it in everything but not in anything light.The new dodge charger..what a stain on the old charger name...its 4 door only!!! Man they already have a 300c 4 door hemi and now 425 hp engine.What are they doing making the charger a 4 door.And its fugly too!!! Now their do have the nice looking crossfire but its pricey with the supercharged six so dont' think it will sell that well.And that new firepower is gorgeous I think and it might sell ok but personally I would still buy a vette.
And then we have their other sports car the neon srt 4.It could be neat,give it awd and make it two door as option..But its four door only.And then we have the magnum wagon 4 door.Whats with these car makers?

Gm isn't much better these days.Their is the gto at least its two door and at least the new cobalts are available in two door.But they make the ssr and some new retro fugly thing that looks like the pt cruiser...oh oh chrysler missed one guess the pt crusier needs a hemi..
What they should do for starters is put the hemi in a dodge dakota and put them in the base crossfires.Then you might have some fast cars and trucks .And not ugly ones either.
Oh one other thing..sts now makes rear turbo kit for the hemi trucks and an sts chevy truck runs 12s right now pretty much stock except for the rear mount turbo kit.So the turbo kit will give the hemi trucks viper truck power and torque for pretty cheap.You have been warned..!!! If that hemi truck is whistling be afraid..LOL

The Hemi wont fit in the Dakota . It is too wide . Hemi engines are wide bye desighn . This is the only reason they are not in the dakota .

I love Dakota's . I used to have a cherry red Dakota sport V8 5 speed.It was qucik as **** too .
The 4.6 liter Dakota's will run a 14 with a 5 speed . They are faster then the RT's .
I almost traded my First LT1 car for a RT once .
I went from Dakota/FormulaLT1/camaroLT1/LS1 TA ..not to mention the multiple beaters in between .
It would be nice to have a Dakota with a Hemi though .

You mean 4.7 liter. :D Very high 14s.

You mean 4.7 liter. :D Very high 14s.
LOL...yep...4.7 . I must have had Mustang on the brain .

I honestly have lost count of how many foolish Hemi bastards make lame attempts to race me. I tried to ignore each of them, but I can only take so much.

Quad cab 4x4: Powerbrakes at stoplight and taunts me to run, I do, smoked him hard, and gave him the happy finger salute afterwards for his trouble. Also had a few professors on campus give me some competative runs from stoplights to try and get into my lane, all mighty Hemi magnums :rolleyes: . They fail everytime. Ram Hemi with g/f inside was pumping the gas on a highway beside of me trying to get me to run, I ignored him until my G/F strongly urged me to blow him away, so I did like 3 times till he slowed to the speed limit.

Seriously lets put LS1-6's in Trailblazers and Impala's, make up a stationwagon to put one in, put it in our trucks and make commercials showing oh how fast they all are, cause everyone knows when your hauling you children in your stationwagon and groceries in your SUV/Sedan you want to drive as fast as humanly possible. :rolleyes:

Ew, dont say that, unless you are remembering a kill ;)

-Dustin-

Try having a truck that is actually fast....it is amazing that a large chunk of the Hemi guys must think "Look, a Lightning, going to go whoop on it"....only to freight trained.

It just annoys me when you absolutely destroy them and some decide to ride my arse...it would be a bioch I show them how much better my Lightning also stops to.

That bumble bee or whatever the hell it is wont even come close to a LT1 Camaro in a race. Sh!t a V6 would be a better race for it. The old 5.9RT Dakotas are faster then those things and any Camaro would smoke those. I tore up a supercharged RT Dakota and that was even after he had a good 2 car jump on me after makin the U turn back onto the highway. Just smoke the tool.
