To the best of my knowledge, I haven't seen any Rams with the HEMI in it yet :( Every time I see a new style Ram, I'm looking for a HEMI logo anywhere on it, but have yet to spot one. I have spotted what looks like a Viper SRT-10 on the hwy going the opposite direction, at least twice now (usually when I get off late... duh!).
