Hello and happy sunday everybody,
Hopefully the weekend has everybody refreshed and ready to get back to work. So a few times in the past I asked myself, when talking Ram and the notorius 5.7 hemi it's known for, how does it shape up against the Charger R/T? Well, even though it seems like a pretty weird comparison, I thought it was worth a go to look into it since the powertrain is actually pretty similar if you ask me. The Ram has the 5.7 Hemi, Zf's glorius 8 speed transmission, and has 3.21 gears, (3.92 gears optional). The Charger has the 5.7 Hemi but down about 20 horsepower from the factory, the about same 8 speed, and 2.62 gears correct me if I'm wrong, (Also the Scat Pack's 3.07 gears in the track pak). Even though there is a near 1,100 pound weight difference, how do the two stack up against each other? Well, I decided to take a look for myself and made a video to share with all of you. A member of our forum named Nick, (sorry if that's not your name on here, I saw your video on youtube and remembered you from the forum) posted a clip of his 19 Ram with the Hemi and 3.92 gears going 0-60. I lined it up with a video of a stock Charger R/T going 0-60 and the results were pretty shocking. The ram seemed to be behind by only about half a second or so, which is crazy. Granted he was in 4 auto, but still, the truck weighs a good half ton more and is the laramie with the long bed, even more weight. If somebody decided to get a double cab Tradesman with 3.92 gears and did some work, (Intake work like manifold and cold air and spacers, Headers and Exhaust, tune, maybe a cam once the 5th gens are opened up) that truck would be a beast from a dig. I know a youtuber named Incredible Hemi who has a similar build to this one and his is a 4th gen. So to sum up this long post, think our Rams are faster than what people think. I have 3.92 gears and the anti-spin diff and have no problem getting past people at any speed. And now it looks like our trucks could put a pretty good scare to some R/T owners . So yeah, let me know what you guys think. I'm gonna try to put the video as an attachment but if it doesn't work, I might post a video to youtube and tag the link. Thanks again to Nick for the video. All of you have a great day and let me know your thoughts.
