In the 6-7 Rams I have challenged, I only lost to one... but then again - I drive this lil Orange Thing...
It weighs about 2k less than yall trucks at least... it has 148-152HP (@ diff RPMs) and I can usually get off the line quicker than you too... Hemi or not... I know my car
This is what I usually see....
Remember, as everyone has said -- the weight plays a lot in it, even if you have a intercooled tricked out truck... at some point, you will be in my rear view

I even doubt it was type s rsx, they are the 'quicker' of the n/a imports. If it was an 'S', he was fittin' to come around you when you let off anyways..... 
+1 on the whole hp rating thing. All vehicles are rated at the crank. Most of the old muscle rides were 'under rated', mainly due to insurance purposes.
And it does suck how inefficient these trannies are. I wonder how much is lost through the AWD drivetrain? I bet Im putting about 225hp to the pavement

What is that a slobalt? C'mon...that's a 16 second car at best. You must be racing QC 4.7's because there's plenty of QC hemi guys here trapping mid 90's high 14's low 15's. You should've got the newer turbo SS model....quick stock and can be fast for cheap. For you to beat 6 out of 7 you must be picking on the weak ones.
