You are correct to a point, but in a race stoplight to stoplight I would take the truck in a heartbeat. Torque is your friend in low RPM daily driving, and short distances. How much torque does that TT have at 2000 rpm?

you do realize he was bragging solely about horsepower. Horsepower is the same, no matter what vehicle it is.

Ahh...my bad. I think I misunderstood your post..

:beer:

not a problem. he's probably using some sort of multiplier in his horsepower equation anyhow, like adding 50hp for each RT badge he's got on his fender. 😉

Unless he's lying about what vehicle he has, his HP rating is correct. The 5.7 liter hemi has 345hp and 385lbs of torque stock.

yeah, thats my truck...I was talking about the guy posting about how his 400hp was at least 100hp than anyone else here

Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races 😉

I don't know what my Maxima is governed to. I'd never want to find out though, it's not a very stable or confidence inspiring car at high speeds.

oh yeah, I can tell you that the Dodge Hemi definitely has power coming off the line...I'd smoke most anything I see on a daily basis.

My MS6 has 275HP/280ft/lbs and does 0-60 in 5.4 seconds @ 3600lbs. I'd bet I'd beat that full size truck every time to 60...not to mention the truck has no weight on the drive wheels, and I've got AWD...

I've got some torque in lower RPM' than a lot of turbo cars since I have a smaller turbo, as well as the direct injection. Regardless, why would I launch below 2000rpm in that case?

It's not all about torque or HP...

yeah, the Hemi only does 0-60 in low the 6 second range. an SRT-10 will do it in 5.3 though

what year is your MS6? Thye 2006 specs say it does 0-60 in 6.3 seconds. Compared to 6.5 for the Hemi.

You would never get anywhere near that...I doubt it would get past 160mph...

Not without modification.

It will do 160 without modification.

2006, 2007 is the same. There were some incorrect readings out there initially because they used lower than 93 octane. C&D has the most accurate numbers...

Also, the detuned European version, the MPS, is 6.5.

http://www.caranddriver.com/features/12244/2007-mazdaspeed-6.html

C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 5.4 sec

They also got 14.0 in the 1/4, but there are people with timeslips as low as 13.8 stock.

Biggest problem is they are heavy...

The hemi's o-60 is 6.8, so that truck's not too far behind you. What happens if you can't find 93 octane 😛

6.8 vs 5.4...he's right behind me? Then what? I can go up to 150mph...is he going to follow me up there too?

LOL...you're just being silly now.

Well, if thats how we're measuring, my car does 300+ mph in 6th gear at redline 😛

You still never answered the question. How did you go 167mph with a car that's limited @ 148 and a speedo that only goes to 160mph?

:roll:

As for magazine racing, I'd be glad to back it up at a track. What's the 1/4 mile of the HEMI?

Not sure what the top speed is for the truck, but its 1/4 mile time is 15 sec, which is still only 1 second off your car. I know you could whoop it, but thats not bad for a truck. I will however hang with you til 150 in my car, even more if you got it 😛

As long as we stay out of the twisties I'll be fine, otherwise I'd have to get the ninja out of the garage 🙂

well see you said your car is faster than any review i've ever read of it. that's why i just take it all with a grain of salt.

 

[Insane3D]

I'm actually not saying I'd definitely run those numbers, and this car is not really a drag race type car..it's heavy. The better times are usually with the sport model because it's a little lighter. I have the GT complete with extra fat-assedness. 😉

It's strength is in the curves. Also, trucks can be fast too, I'd lose big time to a Lightning...but to me, trucks are not really meant to be fast. You can load them up with huge engines and lots of low-end, but I wouldn't want to drive at high speeds, or quickly on curvy roads. As someone once told me..there is always someone faster. 🙂

As for zerocool, you have a nice car, and it's fast, but you simply never went 167mph, and I wish you would just say so rather than just ignoring the question.

 

[zerocool84]

it's the internet and im not going to argue over something as trivial as how fast your car goes because i would have to go into this long explanation.

Agreed, power to weight ratio PWNS all. A 190hp Lotus Elise would smack the sh!t out of his stupid Hemi 0-60 and would abosultely kill it in corners.

I guess that's as close as I'm getting...I'll drop it.
