But being a parts slinger I’m not surprised you don’t have the requisite knowledge to make an intelligent coment. SRT10’s have balls. The fastest production truck ever only means it has to make one pass at super fast speeds to be considered that. After that the tranny can grenade and it dont matter. Durability has always been an issue in the chrysler garage. I know that. And i’ll agree that dodge and gm autos suck balls. Fords usually have more engine issues than drivetrain issue that I’ve seen. But that obviously doesn’t necessarily mean anything either. Why you always gotta pick a fight with me? I’m complimenting this guys choice of vehicle because its fast and you say its 100%trash due to a shitty tranny. Evo’s have shitty clutches. Does that make them bad cars? Camaros have shitty autos too. Do they suck? ---

The way I read your response was that you were disagreeing with me that chrysler autos are junk, because SRT10 RAMs have balls. That is definetly true they are a nasty street truck, but I guarantee they don’t even account for 1% of rams sold. It’s like me saying that all LS1 camaros can run high 12s out of the box because of a few factory freaks. ---

Thinking about selling my Ford and getting an Audi A8 (first generation) with the 4.2 310hp version, or S8 which is also 4.2 but with 340hp. quiet cheap over here (something like $5000), and you have an aluminium body (audi spaceframe) which never rusts. in addition the great 4x4 quattro drivetrain. the engine almost runs forever so you can buy one with 120.000 miles and you are safe for the next 120.000 miles. well you have to find a model which was well serviced though. also you need to repair some stuff yourself to save money. big issues can easily cost the price you have spend. a new transmission costs about $3000. so you need to service the transmission regulary, too. pros and cons, but damn this thing is looking awesome. ![http://i.imgur.com/GZ50x.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/GZ50x.jpg) ![http://i.imgur.com/tHKrq.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/tHKrq.jpg) ![http://i.imgur.com/VGDE7.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/VGDE7.jpg) ---

Audis are probably a lot less to repair in Germany…just sayin… Also, I though Audis had double-sided galvanized steel, not aluminum bodies? [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-germans-06-fusion/259299.md?page=3)
