Auto Week review SRT-10

Did anyone watch the "Auto Week" review of the SRT-10 on Speed channel last night. Out of 3 reviewers this is what one of them said about it: QUOTE

ROCA: Please. $50,000 for a two-seat truck that roars and bounces over the road like it’s coming apart at the seams? I will pass. This truck is no competition for what seems to me like a way more refined, way more enjoyable to drive (and look at) Lightning. Sure, it’s got that get-the-hell-out-of-my-way grille, great, for those who get off on intimidating people in mere cars, but it feels too big, too old tech, like the Viper, to get my vote. The brakes were so touchy it was scary to tap them, thinking the guy behind me would ram under the bed and get decapitated. I’ll take the SVT Lightning for $15,000 less and drive a cool truck that any respectable Teamster will envy and keep my dignity.

Check out www.autoweek.com for the other 2 reviews.

Let's face it. This SRT10 is a powerful truck. The 2 other reviewers really liked the look and power of the truck. It, as said before is a matter of choice. Personally, for the extra 5,000 I have spent, I will be able to pull up to one, roll down the window and say buh-bye....and still have an extra 10,000 in my pocket.
