5.7 Hemi

On the way home from work this morning I was watching a new
Dodge in my rear view mirror and I can see gaining on me,
moving in and out of traffic pretty quickly till he gets up
beside me. I look it over and its a 3/4 t. QC with Hemi badges on
the front fenders and it just so happens that the car in front of
me makes a turn so we end up side by side at the light. A quick
look around to make sure that the coast is clear and I thought
I'd like to see how these Hemis run. He kinda looks down his
nose at my big old tank and we both get into the throttle a little
bit at a time, which works good for me because by the time we
are all the way into it I've already got 20 lbs or so of boost and
away we go. He won't even look over at me, big ole dually with
a diesel just took everything that Hemi had and I don't think that
he liked that. I gotta grow up someday!

Gus
