Those are jet's grun. I don't expect you to know the difference... but they are different. Find a combustion engine that had done it then you may have something to talk about. Find one that's done it on a track and you'll even have something to weigh against the Olds.

Plenty of piston engined cars there, some even over 400mph. But like I said, I know how you like to argue.

Once again grun.. find one that's done it on a track. That's what the 278 was done on.. still a record.

I can just turn that around and say, but can it do 400 mph in the desert? No it cant, which is my point. Its not comporable to LSR cars nor is comporable to a possibly production bound sports road car. Ive argued too much, gotta get ready for the day. Later.

The Aerotech car had stock engine internals, that was what was so special about it. They were trying to show off the Quad 4.

And Staga, TAG was working with Porsche, not BMW.

I can say that cuz I'm a not so proud owner of a dodge ram going on its 2nd transmission in 60K miles.

I don't care how good/fast the car looks. I will never by dodge/chrylser again

KIA all the way!!!!

dude you need to learn how to change gears...if its a automatic then i suggest you keep the "pedal above the metal" its a truck...not a race car

hehehe, its an automatic and I don't beat on it in any sense of the word. I can't afford to put gas in it when those 8 cylinders really kick in

I know 8 different people who have rams, ranging from '96 (mine) thru 2000 and all have replaced their tranny around 40 to 50K.

I am absolutely RELIGIOUS when it comes to turning off the overdrive when towing or even when I have more than a couple of hundred pounds in the box. I even put an auxilary tranny cooler in just to be safe.

Bottom line is, IMO, chrysler/dodge trannies just plain suck...
