What's up guys. You can tell I still excited even know I lost, but hold up don't go anywhere yet. This happened last night, I was sitting at a red light when this guy pulls up next to me in a Hemi Ram Quad Cab, the bad part is that we were 6 in the 'Mada. Anyway The light turns green and we both floored it at the same time we were even all the way to 25-30mph and then he started to pull very slow, like half a truck then I stop his pull and to started to gain some very slowly all the way to 80mph but of course we had to let off. He only had like half a fender on me when we let off. We both gave thumbs up and I told him he was lucky I had 5 other people w/ me and laughed and went his way. I was very surprise w/ the outcome, not only was my 1st race but my 1st time going WOT all the way to 80MPH, pretty stout for a big SUV.

Wow, thats awesome, How did the 5 people feel about all the excitement?:cool:

nice job PIPO!! You'll get him next time. It's nice to hear he was a good sport. That doesn't seem to be the usual outcome.
Sounds like you might have the bug now. Are you going to start hunting rams now?LOL

/\ Hehe! Nah it just happened. But yeah only 3 out 5 people realized I was racing the guy. They were "man it'd had been an easy kill for you if we weren't here"...true statement.

Nice friendly race.
I truely believe our engine is under rated. 305hp can keep up with Hemi 345+ hp is unbelievable.

Actually, the hemi is over rated:cool:

awesome story!

Actually, the hemi is over rated:cool:

haha excatly ;)

5 people = 5-15 MPH in weight
-5 People = A Hemi decal removal party

He was lucky


Good Job

haha.....good job PIPO.

Just to be on the fair side, I went to Durango forum and someone posted dyno of 250+ hp for HEMI AWD stock. Is this number comparable to what we have on Armada? If we have about 20% drivetrain lost, we should be around 240+hp.

AWD STOCK Armada will push out about 265-270 rwhp.

Now advance the timing 2 degrees and find him while you have a low gas tank. ;)

The Hemi has overstated numbers, the Armada understated. The Armada/Titan consistently wins on Dynos by double digits TQ and HP. ;)

anyone knows a good place to dyno in FL? Miami Dade or Broward county would be best.

You can also have your ECU reprogrammed for more power while you are there.

Next time downshift and you will definietly blow out the hole like a missle. Ive had my fair share of races against a Denali 06' and unfortunatly I blew out the hole to flash my blinkers because all she saw was my tailights. Yes this beast is underated and you know it's not always the ride...it's the driver:)

I don't think downshifting would have made a difference.
