Not just Texas...everywhere! It used to bother me, but anymore, it's not worth it. If they

Dodge can't do much right, but their marketing department sure succeeded with the whole Hemi campaign. To this day, I still hear "It's a Hemi" from time to time. Is that supposed to impress me?

You're right, but everything's bigger in Texas. Especially the idiots.

Hey, I am a transplant to Tx. Tx is great!!! People are generally, nice, cost of living is reasonable. (Not nearly as low as 6 years ago but reasonable by comparison) Weather is not bad, though allergies are.

But DFW has a mental handicap when people are behind the wheel.

While this is true about most metroplexes. You just see things on the road that only someone with the common sense of a peanut would do. That's not true everywhere. Sorry, it's that bad.

Texting while driving is Tx #1 passtime
Trying to showout other cars on the road, tailgating, fly by's and other nuisances is past time #2
Drinking and driving is #3
Running red lights, stop signs is #4

Is he talking top speed because I believe there is a speed limiter on all new trucks 105 mph ish,at least in Canada there is,usually the tires aren't rated for much more then that on most pick-ups.

Google speed limiter on 2013 Ram you will find 105 mph.

So to answer this once an for all no he cant beat a 370 unless he has removed the speed limited which would void his warranty on a brand new truck.

OP should just take him on a curvy road course to race. Then when the dodge hits it's first chicane, Bro in law can explain it to Flo, the geico gecco,Afflac ducks, or the team leader from the unit??? Or whoever will listen

Doing all 4 at the same time is my passtime.

Like a boss. And no that doesn't mean BOSS302 hemidouche.

He's clearly not worried about the Warranty as he put a Flowmaster Muffler on it, and everyone knows those give you over9000 hp.

Vegeta's gonna be pissed he went EcoBoost instead of Hemi.
