Here is a link to the specifications of various makes and models of vehicles.
The 4.7 Quad Auto is running and amazing 0-60mph in 7.4 as stated by another poster. Was originaly told to expect high 7's low 8's in my 4.7 RC 5 speed stock. Now hoping for mabye a 6.8 to 7.2 stock.
Also I have been to the R/T board on another site and all I hear about the 4.7 is no replacment for dispacment. Well I think that's a way of trying to sleep better a night. Obviously completly out of our class but the Ferrari uses a 3.8 DOHC V8 to run 0-60 in the 4's. ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

The quad 1/4 mile time is only .5 second slower than an R/T, I would say the 4.7 is an awesome engine and that with a few mods, will be right even with or past the R/T.
But, since I am a GenII guy, got to love my 5.2 by default.

Well MPJunkie, first off that is hard to do when they didn't make any R/T's with a 5-speed, they where ALL automatics. Now thats not saying you can't by the Richmond 6-speed conversion kit if you are willing to spend about $6000!!!!

Well you and I know they didn't make R/Ts with 5 sp. but everyone with a 4.7, 5 sp, & 3.90s is determined to outrun an R/T to prove their manhood. They didn't put 5 sp. in them because the standard can't stand up to the torque of the 5.9. To make a fair comparison, they should be racing 4.7 auto against R/Ts. Nope! Can't do that because they couldn't hang then. HEHE!

Light up another. Can't stand the up to the torque. LOL. They just didn't make a standard for the 5.9 that's all. 5.9's are used to make up for the power loss of an auto. It wasn't worth developing a 5 speed for it because it was so exstensively in the luxururious Grand Cherokies and Durango's. Users that wanted a standard were covered by the 5.2 which deleivers all the torque and running power needed when used in a 5 speed.
I know damn well the 4.7 auto won't hang with an R/T down the track. If I couldn't have bought the 4.7 5 speed I would have bought the R/T on the lot right their on the spot. It's fun watching you R/T owners squirm at the threat the little 4.7 5 speed stirkes in to your hearts. I don't blame you either. I wouldn't have bought an R/T either if I knew a small economic 4.7 5 speed would slap me silly. Don't worry the 5.7 will be out someday and mabye you will get the chance to hang once again.

Nope! Wrong again. The 5 sp. on the 4.7 and the 5.2 will bolt right up to the 5.9. Just won't hold up to mucho macho motor. If you got a little 4.7 5 sp. you should compare it to other 5 sp. Most 5.2 RC 5 sp.& 3.90 can run with or out run a 4.7. I know. I race one at the track.
Why don't you little economical(cheap?) 4.7s stick to something that is your equal instead of mighty motors that are held back by autos?

Ya your right. R/T's are no match because they never designed a manual transmission for them
(Whaaaaaa Whaaaaaa) and because of that it's unfair that they run the 1/4 faster off the lot than the R/T's? I guess we 4.7 owners will have to set our hieghts higher than that.
Most 5.2's can run with or out run the 4.7 at the track?? This is a great thing to say since most 4.7's haven't been done out and are close to stock. You will find most 5.2's that run at a track are a lot more modified than the 4.7's are and they are just keeping up? Wait till all the goodies come out for the 4.7. It's allready happening and the OHC should be able to take better advantage of the upgrades than a pushrod.
The 4.7 quad cab 3.55 auto runs within a half sec of an R/T!!
BTW I am not slamming the 5.9. The huge torque has it's place and it a way better heavy duty engine.

UH, Dude. unlike you 4.7 guys, I compare apples to apples. Stock 5.2 against stock 4.7 is a heads up run. Been there, done that. Same for 5.2,auto,3.55. It runs within 1/2 sec of R/T. 4.7 = 5.2! No rocket science here.

Hey Bob. MPjunkie doesn't piss me off. He's hillarous. 5.2 stock vs 4.7 stock is a heads up. Now that's funny.

Well Mr. Bob, all I can say is they ain't that smart. If they were, they would have bought an R/T instead of a baby motor. Hahahaha. And Mr. Jeffster, it is only funny because you don't even have one yet. The first time you get enough nerve to try to race somebody, you will be very disappointed. Don't cry when you lose. Console yourself with knowing that you have a smaller motor or a cheaper truck. hahahahaha

Jeff and everyone else. Not to throw some water on your fire. I won't get into the argument who's faster or who's better. I have a 2001 4.7 RC 5-Speed with 3.92's.
In stock form, its' very difficult to stay with the bigger boys (although many people claim they've beat 'em). Mine has the 15 x 8 rims and you just smoke the tires.
The RT's are set up with a better suspension and the meaty 17 x 9's. Bigger engines can make more power, however, you have to be impressed with the 4.7 and its' performance.
Enjoy what you've got. None of these vehicles are really that fast. I've got a Mustang that runs 9.30's (410 CI Keith Craft w C6).
I enjoy driving my truck and its' at least street legal. I can take the new 5.2's but that probably has to do with the gearing and the 5-speed. Can't say much else other than I'm on these boards because I like Dakotas and when the parts come out, my 4.7 will keep up with the best of 'em.
Have Fun!!!!

I heard that DC is putting the 4.7 in the full size Ram as the base engine. I am assumeing that this is the two wheel drive model. In any case it speaks volumes about it's durability of the engine.
