Default 09 RAM faster then RT

id say yes....390 ponies with no rear weight..if i can get the tires to lock up i bet i can out run an RT...i would like to see mopar offer a supercharger on the RT that does not void warranty...4 to 6 psi should be about right....this does need to be addressed

hey man I have an 03' Ram with a Hemi single cab... and trust me bro you want some rear weight... you can't really lock up the tires... I've read about people manually shifting throught the gears but i've never tried... the best way i've been able to launch mine is to kinda stab it but not too much to where the tires peal and then punch it... Kinda like your double pumping the gas pedal... otherwise if you just go all out on a stop you'll burn the tires through first gear till they catch in 2nd... i can get about a good 20-30yards at least down the road just walking it down the road peeling them... It's fun but not very fast or effeicent...

I've been to the drag strip with an 03 hemi ram short bed, and my 5.7 rt Charger... the Charger ran easy 14.4 the ram low 15's, so even with a few extra 09 ponies, I don't think it will make up that much ground... and The Challenger 09 rt has a few more than my 06 Charger Rt... I took my 06 Charger to the drag strip to do battle with a 1970 Charger RT 440 auto, 323.. in perfect shape.. yes I smoked him... some of it was driver, some tires, some the quality of New fuel in an old Mopar

You have to remember the Ram is pushing alot of air in front on it.

You also need to consider that you are looking much better in the Challenger.......
