Well, there was 4 prototypes on hand at the HOT ROD SUPERNATIONALS,and all
these were on the POWER TOUR earlier before this event. I had a chance for
close up look at these 4 Mauraders and 1 even followed me out of the
fairgrounds and proceded to pass me in the 4 lane highway not far from the
fairgrounds. The exhaust note and passing ability for a heavy and clumsy car
was very impressive for it's size. These are primarily
a touring car similar to a BMW, MERCEDES, etc.

um........watching one on tv and seeing a pre-production
version in person is two totally different things I prefer a close-up look
to a edited and biased tv road test report.
I also plan a trip to columbus in august to view the NEW
RAM SRT-10 for myself.
