[hemi68charger]

Hey gang... Just got home with the wife's new car, a 2012 Ram Sport.. It's is pretty awesome in looks and performance.. Flame Red looks great next to my Flame Red '98 SS/T.......

Looks exactly like a 70-71 Challenger R/T hood!! 

[hatersaurusrex]

That looks mean.  Not as mean as the Daytona, but pretty mean nonetheless

[lukedukem]

what would you call that hood. i thought about getting one for my 06 cummins.

I believe Mopar calls it a Ram hood with hood scoops  http://www.moparsupercenter.com/ram-hood-with-integrated-scoops82211065af.html.  Nice truck by the way.   How about some stripes http://www.mopar.com/part/82211882AB?s=335576&i=276672&b=ram

NICE!! 
Love my '11 Ram Laramie.
Hey Troy, does it come standard with that hood? Or did you have to have it dealer installed?

[hemi68charger]

The hood is an option (Sport Performance Hood) on the Sport model of the Ram. In this case, it was already on the truck. It seems more often than not, the performance hood comes on the Sport model, but it isn't standard equipment from what I know. I do like the Challenger Rallye Hood look.

Agreed, it does look nice....

most of the ones around here i see with that hood also come with R/T emblems but i haven't gotten close enough to ask if the owners added them or its its own package above sport

Not sure about that... I haven't seen a single one here in Houston and man, I looked at a LOT of 2012 Ram Sports....

We dig the reverse camera though and the NAV...

very, very nice.

I took a 2012 Laramie out for a test drive and was just in awe as to the difference in the ride from my 08..The new suspension and the consol shifter with the alpine stereo  rear back up camera for hooking up the boat  .What  a truck....10 grande in dealer incentives off the sticker price,,,,but I'll have to wait till next november when the 2013 are being offered at discount  prices..

No problem Mike....  

Here we are picking it up.. The white Durango Limited next to it is what we traded in... It was a great SUV, served us well........

Is that a 5.7 ?

[hemi68charger]

Is that a 5.7 ?

Yeap.... It should get better fuel economy since it has the "ECO" technology of running on 4 cylinders while cruising.....

Yep. I sometimes get as good (or better) fuel economy than my wife's '09 T&C with the 3.8L 6.
And, same towing capacity as my old '09 Ram Hemi 2500 4x4. Payload is not as good, though. Airbags would help, & now I see they are optional OE equipment on '13's.

You guys should be talking about when your doing the trade.

[41husk]

We talk more than you guys know or need to know

Is this E-Troy?........    so,,,,,, you sold the '70 beast?

[FlatbackFanatic]

Very nice!!

Got the side-steps installed today and swung by the base to get my Cortex... This is President George W. Bush's fighter during his time here at Ellington Field JRB while he was a pilot for the Texas Air National Guard

[472 R/T SE]

Wow, I'm impressed.  Ol' Bush was a pretty good pilot to land that plane like that.


So Troy, we both have cool ol' ladies based on what they drive.  We liked the Sports, that's what the last rig was that she totaled.
