I want to see an SRT10 launch at 3000 rpms twice on a row with 1.9 or lower 60 foot and not trash the tranny ... Which IS a problem for some new ones aready...

I also would love to see Members here not goping after each other...

Well as far as the SRT goes only someone that is seriously mentally handicapped or the result of defective contraception would buy that car with a truck bed…

Let’s all remember people that “vehicle” is FALSE advertisement, it is NOT a truck. If it can’t tow anything it’s about as useless as a Yugo…

So even if Dodge could get John Force to drive that “thing” stock and beat a stock Lightning the Lightning would still be the world’s FASTEST production TRUCK…

So I guess it’s back to the drawing board for Dodge to actually develop and engineer a TRUCK that one day “may” beat a Lightning…

You want to fairly compare to two for ¼ mile speeds and see which will really smoke the other one then connect them both to a trailer with 2,000lbs of weight and race them 280 times and see who comes out the winner 280 times in a row….

Doug,

My wife theorized that there would be transmission problems with these long ago. Could you share a little more info. with us all???

It makes sense to me that while the trans. can withstand some abuse in a 3400lb. car...........a 5150lb. truck is a whole different story.

I'd guess if you needed a new trans. for one........Chrysler is going to be the only game in town for one. I'd also guess that all new transmissions are slated for new vehicles. I'd also guess that they would not warranty a trans. & clutch.

I'd hate to have a $46K vehicle sitting brokedown, not knowing when you'll get available parts..........and making a big $$$$ payment as it sits.

Thanks for any light that you can shed.

Just remember two things though:

1) The mags said the L was around 14.6 stock, but it is faster than that. Could be the same with the SRT

2) The SRT CERTAINLY has the MPH to obtain a 12 sec run stock. It would be extremely driver dependent though.
we will see how fast they are when 41 opens back up.............
let them mod it.... I will be waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the one I assumed had it together. I was wondering who the other one he was refering to. Surely not himself? He's the biggest BSer on this forum.

Didn't anybody ever teach you that there is no such thing as a stupid question? Do they teach you how to understand bull chit in the 4th grade? because that's the only way somebody can understand your posts.
