but the hemi has over 300 ft=-lbs at 1300 rpm, I'd call that a huge difference. its liked getting kicked in the a$$ every time you hit the go pedal.
From what I'm hearing, the lifetime warranty is NON-TRANSFERABLE. Maybe confirm with the dealer.

The lifetime warranty is NOT transferable. Keep in mind the 4.7 is probably happy with 87 gas. The Hemi is happier with 89 or 91. Fuel cost per mile may figure into it. Sure is fun to kick my Hemi!

I went with an 05 over an 06 because I liked the interior better in the 05. I bought a silver qc sport hemi 4x4 in nov with 26k miles for 20 grand..gets about 17mpg driving 45miles one way to work with the cruise set at 60mph

Here is another reason to get a new Hemi or 4.7. Chrysler announced yesterday that any new vehicle sold this month will get a gas card good for $2.99 a gallon gas for the next 3 years.

Can the 4.7 be matched with a standard tranny? I think the newer 4.7l matched with a strong Standard Tranny is a great bet. I drive a 5.7l with the 5 speed automatic, but I would have given anything for a standard.
