No **** it is going to lose, but the rumble bee costs less then half as much. I do not know that much about the Daytonna FYI, but I assume it is the same truck. Science has proven that yellow paint does cut through the air more aerodynamicly then other hues, if you believe that your an idiot

As for the psuedo hood scoop, I never really liked it anyway. I didn't know it was fake, but then again I didn't know if it was real, I could really care less. It's a stock HEMI why would it need to be air cooled anyway? But I guess the look is representative of what the truck is capable of i e speed, but i don't know. The powertrain is what I look at and they could paint the truck puke brown and I would still drive it if it had the HEMI humming along underneath the massive hood. The Vortec just dosent have that low rumble that the HEMI does. It sounds hollow or something. Give the Rumble Bee a 5.3 Chevy and I will lead it to the finish line and wait for it to get there

Thats actually an apples to apples comparo

Wow Rumble Bee, I guess I didn't realize I was debating with someone so obviously clueless.

I did not post the links to show the RB losing to anyone, I posted them to show 1/4 mile ETs. Which proved my point that they run in the low-mid 15's. Got it now?

Please tell me you don't REALLY think hood scoops are for engine cooling purposes.

Hey, will my Vortec have that low Rumble if I paint "Rumble Bee" on the side of the bed? Hollow?

Who said anything about a 5.3? My truck does not have a 5.3. So, comparing a 5.7 Hemi to a 5.3 is apples to apples, but comparing my 6.0 to the 5.7 isn't? Please explain that logic for me.

Get a clue, I hear they are on sale at Wally World this week.

Wow! I had no idea I was debating with someone who was obviously so clued in

Comparing the 6.0 to the HEMI is apples to apples as well. My point by that statement was that comparing the Viper to the HEMI is not compareable, Get that now?

The 6.0 is way more compareable to the HEMI since the 5.3 Chevy is overwhelmed If Dodge does what we discussed earlier and puts the 6.1 HEMI in the Rumble Bee, the 6.0 will be outclassed just like the 5.3, which is sad since the 5.3 is actually the direct competion to the 5.7 HEMI
BTW, its going to take more then just repainting the Chevy to get the rumble of the Dodge

When gas is $10 a gal you can pretty much kiss all of the big trucks and SUV's bye bye.

Well, All but my Rumble Bee. I bought it in 2004 and it is still hurting with payments every month. If I'm going to pay out what I have paid out for that truck it is going to last till those chrome wheels roll off

I am going to supplement my truck with a fuel sipper of some sort, and if gas hits $10 a gallon, I will be driving it more and more. Hell, if gas hits 10 dollars a gallon we will be solidly in great depression II so there will be a lot more to worry about then simply sales of the big trucks

Who was comparing a Viper to a Hemi??? Did you fail to understand the point of my links? To show 1/4 Mile ET's, not to compare the RB to anything. I even clarified that and you still chose to spin it into a comparison I never made.

So, the Dodge's 6.1 will outclass the 6.0 Huh? Well, true or not, how about the 400+ HP 6.2 GM is now offering in the GMT900s (starting in the 09 MY)? I suppose your beloved (but slow) Rumble Bee will outclass that one too huh?

Face it, 15+ seconds in the 1/4 mile is nothing to brag about. Get that ugly piss yellow truck in the 13's and then you can talk your ****. Until then, you are driving a slow truck.

[CHASLS2]

even 13's is slow. i am deep into the 11's with my modded C6 and thats nothing super fast. Now get into the low 9's and i will be happy.

How long before the mods step in and clean this crap up?
Can we use the rest of this thread to talk about my 1200cc Bandit that can go 0-60 in about 3 seconds instead of this guys stupid dodge?

this is ridicuous. can we get all this guy's stupid rumble bee posts deleted?
I want to see two options for the Colorado or even a slightly smaller new truck S10 sized.
a gas sipping 4 banger that gets better mileage than the ranger and a V-8 that can get 20mpg or more and possibly DoD.
Stick shift option on both.

13's is slow, for a modded sports car. 13's is pretty fast for a 5000-6000 lb brick.

11's with a N/A engine is f'in fast. Getting into the 9's will require forced induction.... Go for it!!!

dang dude, do you not understand? I was clarifying what I thought you were trying to say in a prior post. No spinning it 'into a comparison you never made' I previously, not any more, but previously thought that that was the purpose of the video of the viper smoking it. Again, I do not think that now, so I am not trying to spin that up again. I agree that what that driver claimed o have gotten at the track is slow, but even if I can't best it by much, the Rumble Bee/HEMI is still in generation one and Dodge is not pushing the envelope with the 6.1 HEMI truck. If they did and they applied themselves to making a truck especially designed to best the 6.0/6.2 trucks, it would be just like the current 5.7 over the 5.3, its too easy

And I suppose your truck is in the 13s? Or is it slow?

BTW, If you don't like the yellow the Rumble Bee is avalible in black as well

C'mon man! Speed is relative. A truck will never be as fast as a C6! Der der der!

When you say a four wheeler is fast, it may be. But what your doing by saying that the Rumble Bee is slower then the C6 is something like:

That four wheeler isnt fast, My car will go 100mph

Get my drift? Lets stick to trucks or at least stock cars, as your is also modded for speed
