    Oh hell... there I go reading again.....

    No defending Dodge, but I like to know why

    Dodge - 345 hp and 375 lb.-ft of torque, the 5.7-liter HEMI

    Ford - 365 hp (272 kW) @5500 rpm, 420 lb·ft (569 N·m) @2500 rpm, 90% torque @1700-5000 rpm

    So for me, what really makes the Ford stand out is the torque and to have 90% early starting at 1700 rpm's, you got to love it. That torque is hands down better than a higher hp (in my book).

    I learned the Torque issue early when I had my 10, got my ass handed to me by a 1 ton Ford beltching black smoke and putting down almost 1000 lbs of torque. he just got up and walked away. I had a lot of top end speed and would have left him in the dust easily, but thats not what we were doing....

    The Ford in the video is pretty nice, may need to do some more reading
