Raced an SRT-10 tonight....
It was all highway, from 50 MPH and sometimes higher, to 110 MPH. I pulled him every time by a couple truck lengths, but I may have been getting the jump on him. He seemed a little slow (if you know what I mean, and I ain't talking about the truck). We stepped on it like 3-4 times.
Anyway, he was a guy in his 40's owns a roofing business, and this is one of his toys. It had 3000 miles on it, and he's had it for a month. It's bone stock, and he's apparently got the money to send it off to get some kind of a kit put on it to make 650 HP. I told him to go turbo if he's got that kind of dough.
He wants to run me some more, and he even mentioned for money. I told him I would run him for money from a dead stop (I'll have M/T slicks on if that happens).
Anyway, what 1/4 mile MPH are those things turning? I think I've read 107-108 MPH. I told him that if we raced true top end, I don't think I would have anything for him.
I've run a string of 12.76's on F1's with a best MPH of 108.93
I think for quarter mile, I've got him covered, especially if I show up with slicks.

prices have come way down and are cheaper then you would thik. As for the racing I used to own an 01 lighting and think stock for stock it would be a good run in the 1/4. But as we all know their is no such thing as a stock lightning. That being said if you are running in the 12's you will most definetly walk the thing in the 1/4.

Hmmmm...... Helluva price for that exotic engine. Regardless what they say here, an aluminum V-10 is nothing to take lightly.
Yeah gas prices are really killing the value of the truck. I just hope dodge dosent pull it because of the gas prices.
Not to many people going to buy something that was rated in the top 10 gas drinkers category.

I had a deposit on a black 04 SRT. my dealer in the New Orleans area, said he couldn't get me out the door for the under 50K TT&L price, we agreed upon. last i heard, it's still on the showroom floor
When the dealer pays flooring charges long enough, they will drop prices on any vehicle. Years ago when I was in the business, they used to pay bonuses on the older cars that were sitting on the lot for awhile costing the dealership money.

good kill hatch.Are you going to our lovely track moroso any time soon?I raced a quad cab srt 1 month ago from a dead stop and got him by 2 car lengths.Then we raced from a roll starting at 30 and I got him by 1 car.the srt had exhaust and a filter but a bad driver.The stick shift kills them every time.Its hard to power shift a semi shifter let alone launch those things.He probably went out the next day and bought some spray so beware.he obviously has money
