    muscle car stipes on rams
    « on: August 12, 2006 - 02:51:13 PM »
    so, i thought i had seen most of them, the super bee logo, the hockey stick stripe and even the AAR stripe, but yesterday, i saw a billboard on a new ram! :villagers: AAAAAAAAAA!! I hate it! what makes all these people (including DCX) think they can just go and put all of the classic muscle car stripes on a ram just cause it has a friggin hemi? They are not a performance vehicle, and they cannot performe the way the cars can. Deal with the fact that you have a truck and it should look like a truck, not a muslce car.

     :iagree:  I`ve never really gotten the custom truck thing either.A truck to me is a work vehicle not a sports or muscle car.Daytona decals and wings,hood scoops,20`s etc.,to each his own I guess.   :dunno:

    I think that they might perform better than you think.  SWB Ram w/hemi @6flat to 60 nevermind srt-10  sub 5sec to 60 corners well also.  If they sell they must be doing something right!  Just my  :2cents: :cheers:

    My girlfriend bought a Daytona Ram and absolutely loves the truck. The interior accents are great and she loves her wing. The truck performs well too. I don't know what the quarter mile or 0-60 times are, but I have driven the truck and it hauls butt.

    I think they look stupid.

    It doesnt matter how fast the trucks are, they just dont have the lines to make the stripes work.

    Don't mind the stripes at all if the are proportionate to the body lines. I bet a new ram could perform and handle better than a lot of our muscle cars.

    Hmm. I have a ’75 B200 van in which I am in the process of replacing the tired 318-2bbl with the 383 HP from my Barracuda. Was thinking of calling it the Super Bee 200 and finding one of those bumble bee stickers. Too much?
