yeah, bieng rich has to be great, i just worked in a house yesterday
that the homeowners were having a , get this, a $20,000 FISH TANK put
in in there basement, the basement is complete with a decent size
theatre, a gym, wine tasting room and a wine cellar, amongst other
things. If i had that $$, i would buy a huge plasma screen tv and buy a
fish tank dvd as a screen saver, but then again, if you got money
enough to buy a tank for that much, $20 grand is probably loose change.
that would be a down payment on an srt10, but thats just me

The Rumble Bee, the Performance West version was suppose to be a peak at the production but they had to screw that up!</P>

Yes, I drive by there often, I remember them... they were very noticable! WOW... Now that I think about it, they are 'sisters'... but I think the HEMI looks much nicer!! And the wheels lok great, even if they are shared (<IMG src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0">).

I am not a big fan of the wheels... but there is one up here in Port Huron, and it is pretty sharp... the guy put some really nice 20" rims on it. </P>


Also the F-150 BOSS 5.4 was also in a few shots of 2 Fast 2 Furious, if you guys caught a glimpse of it!</P>

NICE!! Those Rams are VERY cool... I thought the movie had a huge lagging point until I saw all those Ram's come get those cops. <IMG src=smileys/smiley36.gif border="0">I jumped up and was like... THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER! LOL! I have 'Twister' too... where that poor Ram was so brave... <IMG style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick="AddSmileyIcon'smileys/smiley32.gif'" alt=Clap src=smileys/smiley32.gif border="0">And oooh... there are so many more...

The Rock's last movie when he was bounty hunter. He drove a cool black Dodge Ram 1500. This is whenI started to take notice at the front.

I like the truck, but I'm very irritated by the GTX name being put on a truck when it is a cars name. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0">That is just as bad as bringing back the Charger and making it a 4 door, even all the FWD Chargers were 2 doors. At least they changed the Super Bee name to Rumble Bee for that truck, which is OK.

I had a Hemi GTX in 1970, it didn't look like this, thank goodness! It was legitimatly fast (12.56@113mph) on cheater slicks! There comes a time when you leave the old names in the hall of fame or build it to perform as well or better than the original!<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

Well the movie "The Rundown", wasn't great or anything like I thought it would be, but it was better than most movies out there right now. That 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4X4 SLT Sport in Black was pretty sharp. Plus it even was a HEMI!</P>

The name Dodge Ram HEMI GTX, is just a mocker of the original. I don't totally agree w/ it, since Dodge never had a GTX model, that has always been a Plymouth B-body. But look at the LA West "BOSS" 5.4! When the heck has Ford had a BOSS motor in a pickup? Plus both of these trucks don't have any real performance mods. They are just name mockers!</P>

Hey everyone. I'm new to this site, but i recently bought a Hemi GTX. I was going that day to buy a Lightning. But when I went to take a look at a hemi there was no decision to be made. The hemi was 10times the truck. Looks good and sounds great. </P>

we have a new hemi gtx on our lot and i have got to say it looks good until you get close to it. it was originally a black slt truck with the 17 inch wheels and 3.55 gears. on close inspection the paint job is very rushed. i noticed overspray on the a and b pillar moldings and buffer burns. when they put the new 20 inch wheels and tires on they did not change the rear axle gear which makes it a little stale on take off.</P>


overall in my opinion it would be cheaper to buy a ram off the lot and upgrade it yourself. i am sure quality varies from truck to truck and am just going by the one we have in inventory.</P><edited><editID>the Mopar guy</editID><editDate>38018.8294097222</editDate></edited>
