Most manufacturers keep increasing displacement to compete. Even the classic 4.9 liter Ford 302 started life as a 3.6 liter 221, then became the 260, 289, 302. The 260 engine was the first Ford engine dropped in the Shelby Cobra.

You didn't read what I said. I said dodge does it to get the kind of power to COMPETE. I mean they couldn't make a smaller engine to compete with others numbers if their life depended on it. lol I never really liked the hemis, but I've always loved dodges. I just find their motors to be crap most of the time. Cummins is the only engine that interests me from them and yet they don't make them. They just use them in their trucks. Though I'm still a powerstroke guy.
oh yeah, the Lightning is my favorite truck lol[/QUOTE]
"630rwhp 609rwtq"
Jeez, that's enough torque to neuter a small planet. What rpm is that achieved at? My guess is 4200 rpm, just pulling a number out of thin air. Sweet looking truck man.
Beautiful Ford! We got a '85 F250 with a ton of body and engine mods. Gone through 3 motors...300 L6, 351W (blew up) and another 351W, the latter 2 being both built to the top.

The truck is having electrical issues and not completed yet so I don't have a dynograph, just the builders initial numbers, but it should be over 700 to the wheels on pump gas and 850+ on C16 and nitrous with that 3.4L Whipple

That's what I thought. Should be like 340c.i. then. Because usually 350c.i is around 5.7L and 351/2 is 5.8L so its around there. Might be a little less in the cubes though. Well, stock anyway.
I hear you Ritter. I'm a Mopar guy and we all know the front ends are problematic. The first thing you do with these trucks is replace the upper/lower ball joints/bearings with Moog componets. Shocks should be changed to Bilstein and control arms upgraded. These trucks also like alot of positive camber, just google "Dodge Ram Death Wobble"
The Dodge Ram is my favorite. It is the only one with four wheel drive which means you can actually use it on dirt.
The other ones are disappointing because their only two wheel drive. Lose a little traction and they just spin like mad. Take them off road and they become pretty useless. The Dodge is awesome fun because you can just throw down and it'll go like stink. I can even outrun a lot of rally cars because I have nearly triple the horsepower.
I wish they had put more small trucks in the game like Ford Rangers or S-10s. If they had an 89 S-10 in GT5 (what I drive lol) i'm pretty sure i'd never get out of it.
