Your wife needs to talk to my wife! I've been trying to get her to include my girlfriend in all our activities....no joy! LOL!

Not only from a Vette to a Ram.....but all the way to MOPAR!!

Should have kept the Corvette too. It won't be long before you will need another. I've had 7 and this one is a keeper. My next addition will be a Backdraft Cobra with a Roush 427R. Gonna need more than a 3 car garage soon.

You might think so, until you were sitting next to me at a stoplight. 60 mph to 100mph would be even funnier. 100mph to 140mph, well I wouldn't drive my truck that fast.

Hmmm... Just posted in newest Road and Track... 2008 Vette now up to 438HP. 1/4 mile time was 12.8.

Look around some of the postings here of guys close to or better than that with their 7000+lb Cummins.

Now that's funny!!
