Don't own a Hemi in any truck, but in car form (Chrysler 300C) I can surely attest to the amount of power the engine has.
And boy do I agree that those mid-90's low horsepower Cummins were slugs. Of course, I had the 3:55 axle ratio in that truck, and that did not help either. On the flip side, it really got good MPG's, averaging over 20 MPG for the time I owned it.
My main concern in this diesel vs gas debate was my fuel mileage while pulling, and that is the main reason I went with and continue with diesel. To be fair of course, I do not know what some are getting with this newer generation of gas motors, so the once vaunted diesel advantage may no longer exist.
All in all, it may just come down to the individual operator, and what they are used to and comfortable operating.
