Slightly better...14.99 to a 15.11 and 89.05 to 89.06 traps. The SS can only tow 7500lbs though and that's with a 4.10 gearing...pretty sad but better than the lightnings lol.

I wonder how many times they had to run the SS down the track in order to sneak a 14 in there...they could've done the same with the ram if they wanted to.

They are making the same HP to weight ratio because the MPH is the same. The quicker ET is due to better traction and maybe better trans gearing.

I am a motorsports fan first and a dodge fan second. Those SS' are nice. If I was strictly a street guy I would take the AWD and more horsepower of the SS but during hunting season I would hate to take it off road. Most of us could have afforded an SS but chose what we did and I dont' regret it. If you beat an SS with your stock hemi something is wrong

Bhp is the same between the two but somehow even with AWD the SS is more efficient at getting it to the ground...the RWD version i'm sure is even faster.
