I was out to the new Browns Dodge dealership in Chantilly, VA about 2-3
weeks ago to get the 'ol Dak inspected. While waiting, I walked through the
showroom. There were two Rams on the floor with hemi's in them. Don't know
how many were on the lot, didn't look out there.

Hey Ken!
Just and FYI....DC has changed their standard location for the HEMI badging.
They have put in on the front fenders in front of the wheel well, just
behind the headlights. Typically, they used to be behind the wheel well.
That should help you find the new beasts ;)
I was fortunate to ride in one last Sunday. Let me tell you, it was an
awesome experience when we opened it up!! Overall I was impressed. The stock
sound out the pipes was nice, not overbearing, but not real quite either. It
goes back to the days with the 454 in the '75 Bonneville -- you can let the
big dogs run as you watch the gas gauge go down :) It is a lot of fun but
costly. He was averaging a whopping 12.3 mpg (4x2 RC) which was mostly city
driving.
Of course, I would buy one if we could get it in the Dak, but I doubt that
will happen. A new suspension for the front end for the additional weight,
then something in the back to provide the extra grip required. Perhaps the
Viper wheels? lol. Same bolt pattern, but the wells need some massaging.

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!).
