Rumor has it that Dodge is going to be releasing pricing for the 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 at the 2003 Detroit Auto Show. The cool thing is that they may have both regular and quad cab versions. A serious sport truck with room for four! The SRT-10 will be powered by the 500-hp Viper V10.

But what does this have to do with Hemis? Rumors also mention that the Ram SRT-10 may have the 500-hp Viper V10 replaced by a Hemi V10 -- possibly pushing 600-hp. The Hemi design is supposedly modular, so Dodge would be able to create a number of Hemi variations, including this possible V10.

Word is that the price will be $45K, maybe some "market adjustments".
Any color you want... as long as it is red, silver or black. :)
