2013 Ram vs old Chevy

Good thing I don't pay much attention to this kind of stuff though entertaining.

The old saying, "More money than brains", would be the perfect caption for some of these "racing from light to light" and "racing to the top of the mountain with a load" videos. I didn't gloat when I owned the Chevy's that won some of those shoot outs....never know when you could lose or something happens to your truck while doing these kind of things...As stated, you sink the kind of money one puts in these trucks, no matter the brand, last thing I want to "go out of my way" and do, is abuse it...don't get me wrong...I have in the past, but finally "got a clue" and "grew up", (my wife told me to do that:))...

I'm one of those guys, though right or wrong, that belives about the time I start gloating about something of mine, or cut on something someone else owns, the next thing that will happen will be something go wrong with whatever it was I was gloating or bragging on and it'll just come back to "bite me"...so I try to stay neutral, though it is hard with some on these forums who go "above and beyond" to take digs at the lowly Ram truck and their owners, as THEY see or depict it...BUT, if it keeps them busy and out of trouble....more power to them, glad we Dodge owners can help make your day...Happy July 4th.:B

I had a happy July 1 but happy July 4th to you NC. You take things too personally .... I would have enjoyed the video just as much if the Ram had wasted the Chevy or if a Ford had got humbled. Until Pickuptrucks.com comes out with something better the you tube videos will have to do. All three of these trucks are fast enough for me so first up the hill isn't going to come into play on deciding my next truck. Fuel economy could though.

Story of my life...take things too seriously:)..oh well, we're all different, guess I look at things a little differently than I did years ago...just ignore me and I'll eventually go away:) Not much into Utube, unless it's watching some sports replays :)....Anyhoo, if I offended you by my reaction, I apologize...I need to get off this forum, it appears I make too many people mad, or offend them and I really don't go out of my way to do that....sorry...........

Is this an indication of how the new Ram will perform when put up against the competition.

Ram vs Chevy

Hey... I was the first on this site who reported dusting a '13 RAM.

It was game over when I pressed the go pedal! :B

I know the feeling. Years ago my bil wanted to show me up with his new Ford. I had anticipated this day would come so in preparation for the big day I quietly chipped my 03 Duramax. It was him who suggested that we settle this GM vs Ford thing fair and square so we lined up and when he nodded I hit the go pedal. I left him so far behind that I honestly didn't think he was in the race until I pulled over and saw the expression on his face. Seeing him actually made me feel bad so I had to confess. I know that old Duramax, with the programmer, would blow the doors off my '11 Ford and it might even win stock to stock.

HMMM let's see, the D Max was blowing smoke as seen in the passenger mirror. Can you say programmer???????

Show us a stock 08 D Max VS 13 RAM.

Even better, was the 254K that the Dmax had on it.. Pretty good testimony to durability when being abused.:B

Here's a testimony!
