Imagine throwing a blower on top of that motor. I saw a guy at Cecil with a Votech supercharged Viper. At 8psi he was pushing 700hp. I'm sure the motors wouldn't hold up long under boost, but some high end pistons to reduce the compressure would cure that. I love my Lightning, but the SRT10 isn't bad either.

 

Well....

I like the seats. They look more comfortable than ours.

Nice engine.

The rest of it however doesn't do anything for me.

 

That thing is gonna be such a gas *****!

 

Wow those pictures in that Autoweek link sure do look like the pics I posted here.

Aside from the wheels (look like they're from a Camaro SS) that truck is identical to the pics I posted.

i was thinking the same thing, even the exhaust placement and size of the brake calipers, all looks the same minus the dirt and salt on the one you took pics of

 

Anybody who thinks that is ugly needs glasses and I hate Dodges.

Im not a fan of wings and stick shifts but that truck is awesome.

 

Please tell us your kidding. That thing looks pieced together. Like the Dodge engineers said "Take the Ram and add a wing and ground effects."

I am not saying the Gen 3 L is the best looking design on the planet either but come on man..........

nice seats and engine, UGLY body and styling though ...that stick might actually be kinda cool in the end, hope to see one at the track some time

 

Got this from AutoWeek's website:

INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY DODGE
Dodge Unleashes 150 MPH Viper-Powered 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10
Five Hundred Uncoiled Viper Horsepower = Most Powerful Production Pickup Ever
Auburn Hills, Mich. - If it’s worth doing, it’s sometimes worth overdoing. So only Dodge could create the boldest, baddest and fastest full-size pickup ever, the Viper-powered 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10.
Taking its rightful place as the ultimate performance pickup, the 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 brings a massive dose of Viper power to the performance pickup segment, with a class-demolishing 500 horsepower and 525 lb.-ft. of torque. Topping 150 mph in maximum speed and reaching 60 mph in approximately five seconds, Dodge has recalibrated all expectations for truck performance.
"The Dodge Ram SRT-10 may be the first halo truck, but trust me, this truck is no angel," said Wolfgang Bernhard, Chief Operating Officer, Chrysler Group. "The Ram SRT-10 is true to the performance ideals that created the original Dodge Viper: keep it simple and make it fast."
"There is no replacement for displacement," added Bernhard. "The Ram SRT-10 delivers its astounding performance in a way that only Viper owners will recognize, with an endless rush of torque."
The 500 Club
The numbers don’t lie: the Dodge Ram SRT-10 is the most outrageous pickup ever. With 500 horsepower, 525 lb.-ft. of torque, 505 cubic inches and a 500-watt, ear-melting sound system, Dodge dominates in every category. Simply put, the 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 is the new performance truck icon.
The Ram SRT-10’s mayhem-making ability is delivered courtesy of the highest displacement engine in a factory pickup truck—the same 8.3-liter V-10 that powers America’s ultimate sports car, the all-new 2003 Dodge Viper. The V-10’s horsepower rating easily surpasses all other pickups – not to mention virtually every production sports car in the world.
"We set out to create the Viper of trucks and we delivered," said Jim Schroer, Executive Vice President – Global Sales and Marketing. "This is a unique truck – a low volume, over-the-top collectible that remakes the entire segment. In the performance truck segment, the Ram SRT-10 simply dominates the road – and proves once again that Dodge DNA runs true and deep."

Wonder how they are going to WARRANTY that beast ???

 

I still like the flareside of my truck better, but thats not bad looking. What's the MSRP?

 

I also think it is funny how the "projected" ET has dropped from a 12.9 (last fall) to 13.8 (now). hell that is the same as an 01-03 L.

Did you guys also notice the curb weight........5000# And we thought we were hefty.

--Joe

 

That is a nice truck.

Just take that wing off.

 

whoa, check out that crappy 1/4 mile time... 500hp for 13.8? what a waste... 0-60 5.2? LMAO

 

This truck is a good thing, in the fact that it will make Ford raise the performance bar, but damn is it ugly.
