the dinosaur is cool lol
but I'll tell you what I'll bet my little 4.7 would dust 95% of the hemi's out there... she mean I've had so many hemi ask me what I did to make mine so fast then look strange when I say its a 4.7..
I thought about getting a new truck and went and test drove the new hemi the sells man ask me what I thought when I got back I just tossed him the keys and said unimpressed and left with my old truck.
ive been in to my motor and have done just bout every bolt on I can tell you what the strengths and the weakness of the motor are I have always hated the just buy a hemi guys!
I get it your talking about going all out and looking to 1/4 mile race all the time but then again if that is what your looking for I say buy a car. these are heavy trucks but you can get a lot out of the little motor. now with that said there is a big difference between the auto and manual in the 4.7 which is the reason I bought my truck over the hemi. The hemi was still a new motor when I bought mine and it didn't come with a 5-speed so I got the 4.7 now the hemi is a good motor is it worth buying a new truck for most the time it isn't unless your planning on making a straight strip truck.

I'm with you on the 4.7 being able to hold it's own. My dad owns an 02 Quad Cab with a 4.7 and it goes pretty well. My friend owns an 02 single cab and that truck goes like stink.
So if you've got a single cab short bed (aka Ram shorty) and you mod it a bit, it could probably take on most Hemis on the street.

Possibly, until you run into a single cab short bed (aka HEMI Ram shorty modded like mine, and then you're gonna be in trouble
