Well, this was news to me so I'm passing it on.
I found this on pickuptruck.com. I thought everyone
would like to know when pricing would be anounced and
the other surprise (V10 HEMI) in the article. Could
this engine be destined for the future GTS?!?


Dodge Ram Quad Cab SRT-10 To Debut in Chicago

The stakes keep going up in the high performance full size truck category.

As reported by Car-Truck.com earlier this week, look for Chrysler PVO to announce pricing for the 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 and to also introduce a Quad Cab version of the V10 powered performance truck at the 2003 Chicago Auto Show in mid-February.

Sources have told PUTC that a push button starter on the Ram SRT-10, similar to the Dodge Viper's, will bring this engine to life for owners and that the 8.1-liter V10 engine will be replaced in the next few years with a new V10 HEMI with power output expected in the 600+ hp range.

Also look for Ford SVT to introduce their first-ever SVT concept vehicle next month in Detroit at the North American International Auto Show. It will be a sneak peak at the next generation Lightning, based on the 2004 F-150, and rumor has power figures at around 450hp.

V10 Hemi!! Now that will excite future Viper Coupe admirers. And a measly 600+ HP. This could get good.

I wonder if the V10 Hemi will be the result of adding two cylinders to the V8 Hemi, and displace 7.2 Liters?

GETBIT,

THAT IS GREAT NEWS!

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I PROPOSED JUST 4 DAYS AGO IN MY POST!!

A 600 HP+ HI-PO MODEL V-10 WITH SOME TYPE OF IMPROVED "FACTORY" HEADS...

I GOT BLASTED, SLAMMED AND INSULTED BY 80% OF THE RESPONSES FOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A BETTER MORE EFFICIENT V-10 ENGINE...

I WONDER IF CRAIG 201 MPH, MR WOODHOUSE,IIEONE AND SNAKEBITTEN HAVE READ THIS?

THESE GUYS CAN KISS MY *** !
