I edited the infamous SRT-10 kill vid in response to what the dodge boys made:

If you have dial up I made a wmv file that is smaller. The avi is 25MB and better quaility. ENJOY

Hehehe, that's some funny stuff. But the point is dead serious. WHEN we see an SRT-10 run 10s, then we'll talk.

 

I guess this is going to start some s#$t on this board and I own a Ford so this is a totally unbiased opinion, this race is an apples to oranges comparo. There are factors to take into account when comparing the two trucks:

Lightning is an auto, SRT10 is a 6-speed so you have the shift factor.
Lightning sits on 18" alloy rims and SRT10 sits on 22's and chrome. (rotating mass and weight difference)
Lightning is 4600 pounds and SRT10 is almost 5300 pounds
Question also is in the race, did the Lightning have on drag radials?

The quote for the SRT10 of the 1/4 mile at 13.6 is actually .5 of a second more than Motor Trend got on one of the recent test artcles. The 13.6 was an estimate before one was even track tested
by any mag and was a manufacturer's estimate.

That being said, if you take an SRT10 and just put 18" alloys and drag radials, the race would more than likely be a bit closer than many think. Go ahead and say it, "For 45,000 it should be quicker than that." Right or wrong for a 5300 lb truck with 22's to run as quick as a stock Vette which is 2000 lbs lighter is pretty good.
Yes, modded L's are beasts and that is true but when someone who knows what they are doing gets a hold of an SRT10 and drops down four rim sizes and then begins the mods, this truck will be even more of a beast than it already is.

 

I've already seen what a beast it is...

 

I think they will have to rename that Dodge SRT-10 to something besides "Saw Rear Taillights".

Im sure that truck will run faster in the future but for now, milk it for all its worth!

Oh yeah, when the do get good at shifting I suppose it will be "Spin Rear Tires".

 

 

I liked the regulators at the end

 

LMAO!




I recall seeing these excuses used by many Dodge owners already. So tell me this... Why would Dodge PVO give their truck so many disadvantages(22s, 6-speed standard, weighing in at 5300 pounds) if they wanted so badly to whoop up on us L owners? Perhaps they should have done some better planning instead of trying to make the truck look good(which it doesn't).
