Ive heard speculation that the new 5.7 will come outfitted with 380 hp, and 425 ft lbs of torque.

 

One of my buddys called me tonight he got a new tundra he got the one with the big back seat that is awesome i have to say but the bed is really small the front end is chrome and plastic? Not the best in my book yeah they are fast and all but if i want to go fast i'll just jump on my gsxr and do 190 or i'll jump in my 8 second nova f that toyota. I'm happy with my choice.

 

How about this...

Toyota Trucks are made in America... yes... and the factories create jobs... yes

BUT

When a Tundra is sold, the profit... increases this countries GDP? Nope.. The profit goes overseas.

And, what about this? Toyota creating a few jobs in America so the people that work for them are not on welfare and leeching off the system does not outweigh what will happen if GM or diamer chrystler tanks... A LOT more people in this country are out of work and now on unemployment and can't support themselves, and an American company tanks thus negatively impacting THIS economy.

I don't live in Japan I live here, and I get raped in taxes being a 22 year old white male that makes well above the poverty line, so what economy do I want to support? This economy. What auto-makers do I want to support? The ones here.

 

this is getting out of hand. every damn thread on this forum now is a Toy vs Dodge or what oil do you use post. it makes me not even want to come here anymore, i used to love this forum.

Whats next, are you going to go over to the cummins forum and tell them that they suck because the other series of cummins motors are bigger. No one gives a ****.

 

Well said!!!

 

Lets see a Yoda kill a Jeep Srt8

So what makes the GC SRT8 so good, so different, if you will, from a regular Grand Cherokee? Plain and simple, the gentlemen over at SRT (Street and Racing Technology). To put all that extra power to the road, they reengineered the all-wheel-drive system with a new transfer case, front axle and a sturdier rear with a Dana 44 differential. But the biggest difference is felt when you throw the GC SRT8 into a curve. In a typical Jeep, you’d be met with varying degrees of squish; with the SRT8, rock-solid handling. A 1.0-in.-lower ride height, Bilstein dampers, stiffer springs, larger anti-roll bars and 255/45R-20 front tires and 285/40R-20 rears transform the GC SRT8 from ho-hum SUV into sports-car competitor.

In outright speed, it flat spanked every vehicle here. Jeep has been bragging that the GC SRT8 runs to 60 mph in under 5.0 sec., wet or dry. They weren’t lying: In our testing it ripped to 60 in just 4.6 sec. and to the quarter mile in 13.2 at 104.1 mph. Those are sports-car numbers! Apparently this is what happens when you strap a raunchy-sounding 6.1-liter V-8 with 420 bhp and 420 lb.-ft. of torque to a 4800-lb. all-wheel-drive vehicle. Four-wheel powerslides come standard.

 

dont worry guys, i dont know if someone already mentioned this but the 09 ram is bigger and better...The 5.7L HEMI V8's output has been increased by 45hp (34kW) to 390hp (291kW) and 404lb·ft (548N·m)

found this on wikipedia

 

You see folks, Its all subjective. Now some one can add a viper or vette or Porsche etc etc etc. Makes no difference at all. Does the Toyota make more Horsepower? YES, Do I lose sleep at night worrying about it? NOPE! I dont care what you drive, theres always someone tyring to make A competing brand better or faster. The point is Moot. You can go as fast as you can afford to go!

 

A Toyodor could be twice as fast as a Hemi and I still wouldn't be caught dead in their piece o ****!

 

Lol, Amen to that, the Yoda is one fugly truck!
