2005 4.7 V-8 versus 5.7 Hemi

[verano1008]

I heard that the 4.7 is takes off faster than the Hemi because of the hemi's torque. Can anybody verify this or let me know which one is faster? I don't care about top end speed just acceleration.


Thanks

Hemi is quicker hands down

The 4.7 is really weak on low end torque, a washing machine motor would out-torque it.

yes...4.7 is definately weaker down low....but i have a 2002 dakota with 4.7 with a few bolt ons, exhaust, intake, programmer, things of that sort and my buddy has a 2003 reg.cab hemi and i can keep up with him in a straight line....dead even we cant go anywhere on each other, and i have 285/75r16's....so if i put factory tires on i could prolly outrun him...not around curves cuz mines lifted....but straight line could probably do it
