RE: The Titans think they can take on anything
I usually get the same reaction, but it doesn't happen until after I've handed them their butts. It has become far less frequent that they try me though. Word must be getting around the titan camp that the RC Hemi is not a potential victim.

RE: The Titans think they can take on anything
I hate that everyone wants to race everybody but me. I mean just because you see a 3" exhaust pipe and you can see my headers peaking out just below the front axle doesn't mean i am that fast. I only run high 14s. Ohh well, time for heads, cam, and N2O and pick on some LT1 and mod motor stangs.

RE: The Titans think they can take on anything
I almost bought a Titan this week, but I still like the exterior looks of the Ram. I heard from both the Nissan Dealership and the Dodge Dealership that the Titan will beat the Hemi Ram off the line, but once the Hemi gets going, it will be lights out for the Titan.

4WD/AWD systems have the greatest power loss from the engine to the wheels since it has to split it's power between all 4 wheels. 2WD gives the most power to the wheels since it only has to split it 2 ways instead of 4, but this has the disadvantage of traction loss from the tires breaking loose due to the extra power. Traction control simply cuts back power to maintain traction, the Ram has this available. The Titan has a 2WD/4WD system that's electronically controlled, it kicks in 4WD whenever it detects wheelspin and then it reverts back to 2WD when it regains traction. This gives it the best of both worlds by giving it a full power 4WD launch and then all it's power to just 2 wheels once it's going. The Ram has either full power to all 4 wheels the entire time giving it a great launch, but holding it back after the launch by keeping it's power divided to all 4 wheels or in 2WD it puts all the power to just the 2 wheels causing it to break the tires loose and if it has traction control it will cut back on power to keep the tires from spinning. So, no matter what the Titan has the advantage from a stop, but from a roll it all depends on the driver and which exact version and options the Ram has.

Allz I can say is that my RCSB Ram runs pretty well without nitrous. Heaven help the Titan that tries me without a supercharger AND gas!!! Heavily modded Chevys and Ford Lightnings are another story, of course (I know my PCM's limitations, afterall).
