Ateast give us a helping hand hemiyellow, this "thing" that is so different that you'd never thought they would put it on a factory truck..... will it make us or [:@]......Just curous if we should look forward to it or not..... i would hate to anticipate something to be letdown.... better to know their is something i may not like so i know to get an 07 or 08 instead of waiting for an 09....

I pdI a couple of 08 Rams and they are the same except for the badging, It looks like crap that ram on the door no 1500. The seats are very cheap looking, at least on the sxt the bottom line truck the higher up models have better interiors. As for the challengers they are going into production mid april 2008 so we should se them come next may.

hemi I dunno if you can comment on this but I think you can. with the 08 ram what is the specs for the 4.7L V8 i've heard anything from 290-330 hp. I'm guessing since they are on the lots now you can tell me but if not I understand it's your job and career no sense risking it.
