whats this could it be

[tn big jeff]

What is this now? A blacked out new 2009 Dodge Ram with a manufacturers plate lurking around a Waterford Race Track in Michigan? Why it certainly is. Why would a truck already unveiled be all blacked out and at a race track? Perhaps it's the hi-po model. Oh how delightfully gossiptastic. We have very literally zero proof this is anything other than a run of the mill Ram, but we're going to throw it out that this may be the Ram SRT-10, maybe just the R/T, but it's being subjected to some laps around the track. True or not we're willing to start some rumors.

The coefficient of drag will be so bad, that when you arrive at your destination, you open the hood to let all the extra air whoosh out.

Well, looking at the tires, it is not likely an SRT-10.

8:26 AM on Wed May 7 2008 @Bee1: I'm trying to figure out where that you get that this was a manual trans vehicle, or that they won't mate the V10 to a stick. I hear that this is a special SRT-10 with the Viper's aluminum V-10 and a seven speed manual. Did I mention the independent rear suspension and all-wheel drive?

If you're gonna start rumors, ya might as well make 'em good!

It's a new lightweight polyethylene terephthalate body panel concept, thus the reason for the matte black finish of the color-injected panels. A bold direction taken in an attmpt to reduce fuel consumption.

Besides, if it were a SRT-10 Ram, there would be melted gobs of rubber up the sides of the truck bed and the rear tires would've exploded by now, rims and all!

Just a rumor. Dodge, Chrysler are up the creek, not quite without a paddle just yet but their rowing is slow.
The last thing on their mind is making big performance vehicles with bad MPG lol. Sounds like an SRT/10, nothing more nothing less.

Must ride like a caddy too, having IRS and IFS. Rumor has it that its so aerodynamic you can turn the truck off at 70 mph and just cruise the highway forever :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:
