The Ramaro is a Dodge Ram Sleeper that Does 10s Quarter Mile Passes, Sprays Water

If you happen to meet this 1988 Dodge Ram at the traffic light, the chances of you suspecting its potential are close to zero. We just want to ensure you've been warned, so we're here to talk about this workhorse sleeper.

For one thing, its driver has a fetish for the Camaro, so the contraption has been baptized "Ramaro". It's not difficult to understand the etymology here.

This pickup truck has a pretty big heart. We're talking about an LS2 6-liter V8 that works with an 88-mm turbo. Since the fuel line is still the stock one (from the Dodge tank), the boost pressure doesn't come anywhere near the full potential of the turbine. However, an unspecified shot of nitrous is used to take things higher.

As a result, this truck can play the quarter mile game in 10.9 seconds, so you can imagine the surprise its competitors are in for.

The Dodge runs on street tires, so its performance is even more impressive. The clip below shows us the machine in action.

In case you were wondering about the launch, the driver only switches to rear-wheel-drive mode for the burnouts, while the launches introduce all four wheels to the party.

The setup mentioned above also gifts the Ramaro with a metallic growl that's a pleasure to the ears. Still, this isn't its only trick, as the Dodge emblem on the hood has a trick of its own to please the crowd with.
