The SS;s don't have nearly the drivetrain loss as the Rams do, so even if the weight and numbers were identical. The SS would own a Ram for the simple fact of Chryslers terrible drivetrain loss. i need to have a chat with their Engineer's because clearly they are morons at nearly 30% loss.
Every dyno that I have seen is right about 28-30% drivetrain loss for the Rams. Where as other trucks like Titan and SS are not even 20% loss. 10% of 300hp is 30hp loss, so for 345 that's 100hp+ loss for the Rams. Thus why they dyno at 240ish rwhp on the dyno.

ok...here's a comparison. a buddy of mine has an SS, and another buddy has a single cab hemi. they raced back when the SS was completely stock, and the hemi was too. they raced twice....the hemi won both times by BARELY. so your quad cab, i'd imagine, would get dusted. if you want me to race his SS to let you find out, I will. But now he's got it lowered with a bed cover. and dual exhaust.
And another thing.....the baddest SS i have ever seen is on youtube. search: 04chase.

MMMM well even as a Hemi owner I will have to disagree with the best motors. GM in my opinion still wins with best over all drivetrain little power loss and way more bottom end. Then there is the aftermarket support which is basically endless. Just my cent and a half.
