Re: [Chevelle-List] Non Chevelle (Hemi)

[Michael Pell]

Man, even I, a die-hard GM fan, am compelled to consider a Dodge truck.  They outperform the GM trucks with price, performance, a far better warranty, and possibly even quality.  I've had very few problems with my GM trucks (89, 94, 97, 2000), but I'm still considering a Dodge. WAKE UP GM! Clint Hooper wrote:  Well,I guess you need to get out more often,Mikey.<g> Dodge dealers are taking deliveries of 1/2 ton Hemi trucks,as I'm typing this. My local dealer had twelve of them in stock,yesterday. As for the price,I've got a order form filled out on my desk for a 1/2 ton four door Dodge with Hemi engine,Lone Star package with polished 20" wheels,top of the line Infinity sound system,etc,definitely no stripper. Price will be $24,700. I've always been a GM man but they do not currently build a true four door 1/2 ton truck with full 6' bed. Neither does Ford. On top of that,both GM and Ford are priced substantially higher.Clint Hooper LT5 Registry Director Wichita Falls,Tx (940) 855-6636 '91 ZR-1 Callaway Aerobody TX TAGS: USA ZR1 http://www.LT5Registry.net/ '69 El Camino Pro Street ----- Original Message ----- From: Capt Crunch  I believe last I heard the Hemi is only available in 3/4 ton and up trucks. No 1/2 tons. Also I really question you finding a hemi truck at under 25G's. Even a stripped out 2wd, no option anything... probably would need to specially ordered if ya did... But I could be wrong as I no real drive to buy anything with a Dodge logo on it and haven't looked at them much. But yes cool none the less though. Mikey  ----- Original Message ----- From: Clint Hooper Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 4:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Non Chevelle (Hemi)   I have been waiting to drive one of the 1/2 ton four door Dodge trucks with Hemi power and the Lone Star package(20"wheels). Having driven just about every new truck out there with just about every engine/trans combo,I can tell you the Hemi Dodge will smoke a Chevy truck with the 6.0 engine. One truck I drove was a 3/4 ton longbed with Hemi power & auto and it was pretty impressive for something so heavy. One of the new 1/2 tons with that engine should be a fun ride,especially for less than $25K.Clint Hooper LT5 Registry Director Wichita Falls,Tx (940) 855-6636 '91 ZR-1 Callaway Aerobody TX TAGS: USA ZR1 http://www.LT5Registry.net/ '69 El Camino Pro Street   --   Check out my webpage at http://www.ProStreetCar.com   and my For Sale page at http://www.ProStreetCar.com/classifieds.html   TREMEC Distributor at http://www.5speedTransmissions.com   Team Chevelle member #1778 (Gold),  ACES member #1377
