2013 7 auto vs Dodge ram ..Hemi engine? Bro-inlaw says he can take the Z..

Dodge can't do much right, but their marketing department sure succeeded with the whole Hemi campaign. To this day, I still hear "It's a Hemi" from time to time. Is that supposed to impress me?

me: "hey, my volvo has a hemispherical head to. whoooopdy do!"

Google speed limiter on 2013 Ram you will find 105 mph.

So to answer this once an for all no he cant beat a 370 unless he has removed the speed limited which would void his warranty on a brand new truck.

OP should just take him on a curvy road course to race. Then when the dodge hits it's first chicane, Bro in law can explain it to Flo, the geico gecco,Afflac ducks, or the team leader from the unit??? Or whoever will listen

He's clearly not worried about the Warranty as he put a Flowmaster Muffler on it, and everyone knows those give you over9000 hp.

Vegeta's gonna be pissed he went EcoBoost instead of Hemi.

a few of my buddies go every weekend to the street races in their hemi trucks... they have a good bit of work, programmers, exhaust, gears, torque convertors, wide bands, intakes, etc... if they are good with their 60 foots but i always catch them and pass them.. so with just exhaust he has no chance...

Brake checking someone is illegal in many states. A police officer would have to watch the whole thing to cite you for it I would imagine.

no it isnt, slamming on your brakes is not illegal, what is illegal though is insurance fraud(and thats the reason why its illegal, brake checking not something you get cited for afiak)

there is no standard for what situation you have to brake for, so hypothetically if you were to see a squirrel run out in front of your car, and slammed on your brakes and the person behind you happened to rear end you, you would not be at fault

now if you intentionally made someone rear end you(IE cutting the guy off than slamming on your brakes), you would be at fault because you are the one who caused the accident and you will get in a whole legal mess because insurance fraud is illegal

Lol, well for one thing if someone is tailgating me I'm not going to slam on my brakes anyways... I don't want them smashing into my car!! Even though it would be their fault and their insurance has to cover it, you still have a smashed up car.

Bucketlist2012 · 06-08-2013, 12:22 PM

A good question would be, "Is it legal to intentionally cause an accident " ?

If a third party witnesses it , then the court will decide...They will have to prove intent...If the third party witness that has no Dog in the fight, says that you were mad,aka, Road rage, be prepared to fix your own car...

And for sure it is childish to brake check someone...That means they got under your thin skin....

From what I understand, the tailgater will cited for following too close, but the police, if they have an independent witness, can arrest you for reckless driving for Intentionally causing an accident due to road rage....
