in a headon collison your gunna die, 4000lb v 5000lb 50mph head on , all DEADIn a head on collision, I'd rather be in the vehicle that weighs 1,000 lbs more!
You bring up a good point though; for better performance, the lighter, tighter, car-like G8ST would be a superior platform. However in America, we're not too used to those kinds of vehicles. Sure we've got the Honda Ridgeline, the Subaru Baja....but the last "real" car-truck we had was back in the 80's with the El Camino.
Ram 0-60 in 5.7 seconds
Truck Trend
I can't help but think Toyota should have a 2wd Tundra 5.7 reg cab short bed to compete. I know the first year they could do it, but it was a stripped "work truck". This Ram looks very nice, and I'm sure it'll be a hit.
I wonder if Chevy has plans to resurrect the Silverado SS?
The only real downside to the Ram is the requirement of midgrade gasoline to get this performance. Sure, it'll "run" on regular....just don't expect 0-60 in 5.7!
