Dodge Copy Venom hood for Ram 5500s?

[VENOMOUS1 RACING]

Just got this in today! 2011 Dodge Ram 5500 with what looks like a Venom hood idea stolen from Stinka?:dontknow:

 

[FastSRT19]

I saw a few on the local Dodge lot last week and thought the same thing!:dontknow:

Dang I wish they would have made a 10 in that model.

i doubt they will i heard rumors about a srt8 truck but that would just b a joke if they did.... 425 hp ....:aetsch: :aetsch: :aetsch:

i dont know...id consider something similar to a r/t if it had a 6.1

the next srt motor is suppose to be 6.4 with 500 plus hp

screw the R/T, keep your 10 and get an srt8 jeep as a DD. That would be a badass garage, maybe get a skittle on the cheap too and chuck that in the pen; would be cool to have 3 different kinds of srt's... all that haul assssssss

Venom hood idea stolen from Stinka?[/IMG]

...but I thought he stole the idea from the Viper? So using the transitive property, isn't Dodge just stealing from itself?

 

[TheMoparConnection]

yeah all the 2500-5500's have that hood...

 

[DevilDawg3097]

What motor do they have in the 5500? Is that a new model this yr? Quit following the new trucks after the 10

 

[TheMoparConnection]

6.7 cummins

 

[Wifey]

I don't see a scoop(maybe just the pic?) or a foe cowl induction raised area or raised center section ,plus I would think that louvers/vents functional or not would have become a public domain thing as they have been around like forever. have to go with Vman on this one.

 

[DevilDawg3097]

So I take it the worked all the bugs out of the electronics on it. Other then that That is supposed to be the shit for new diesels.

 

[TheMoparConnection]

yeah all the probs with the emissions have been worked out for over a year now. great trucks and great engines... i've only have had them towed in due to bad fuel. not a one has been because of a mechanical failure

 

[alice the cat]

There are a couple guys here in WA that have taken RC deisels and chopped the frames for a short bed. They are drag race trucks and one is one of the fastest in the USA. If SRT came out with a cummins RC short bed 2wd truck... I would be a buyer. You could build a 500 hp 1000 ft#trq pretty easy that would make for a fun truck. They might only sell 20 of them but I would be on the list.

:top: not bad lookin...no viper hood

Sooooooooo, it's coincidence that it's on a Dodge truck that, as far as I can remember, has never had louvered vents on a hood. Much less, louvered vents, exactly like a Venom hood. Come to think of it, I really cant think of many vehicles that came factory with louvered vents configured almost exactly like a Venom hood. A hood scoop is one thing. But louvered vents configured like that? :dontknow:

 

[scoobert]

i am not that old, but the car i wanted when i was a kid had them....
not a new idea.....

Does that look like the louvered vents on the Venom Hood? :dontknow:

If you look at the sun, then close one eye, and squint with the other one....... maybe
