Thiers no comparing the performance of a 5.7 in a charger, vers a hemi in a Ram and by no means is a hemi powerd Ram slow.

The weight of the vehicle has nothing to do with power to the wheels.
More weight only slows it down because its harder to get moving fast.
My 04 4X4 QC with only CAI, catback exhaust and 4.56 gears made 267.5 at the rear wheels.
Truck had around 5000 miles on it.
Its the automatic that steals all that power.

Hemi Chargers are putting 270-280 to the wheels. But they are also over 1000 lbs lighter and a hell of a lot more aerodynamic.....

The LX cars( charger, magnum, etc..) are also using a different/better tranny than the rams

The Hemi Ram does have some nuts though. I just wish it wasn't loosing so much in the drivetrain...

gas powerd trucks are not efficent users of h/p when compared to a car.
