i dont see any reason to say he is lying. those frickin srt-10's only run a 13.6!!!!!!! come on guys, just cause it makes 500hp dosnt mean it can pull its own weight. the reason the exhaust note is horrible is because chrysler's v10 is a odd fire motor. vipers sound like crap too.

Umm someone been outrun by a few trucks????
I think its funny people say this yet drive 305s and such. (not saying you, just saying about the thirdgen crowd...)
I personally love seeing a fast truck, and knowing a guy with one of the fastest Deisels in the country (Doug Doring based out of CT, runs 9s in his) I respect what they do...
Having a fast truck, that can also haul, and tow, and do truck things is hard to beat!

Nope, never been beaten by a truck before. It's not a matter of anger, just dislike. I see a truck as a utilitarian vehicle. Recreation with a truck, at least where I come from, has to do with mud and 4 wheel drive, not going fast. We do that with our cars. This is just personal preference though.
Haha I was thinking of the srt-4, and I could definately believe that. And then someone said 500 hp and I was like wtf?
Anyhow, if it's true, niiiiiice kill.

Nice kill!!! For what they are, having 500hp and all, I thought when I first heard about them that they were gonna run a lot faster than they do, regardless still very fast for a BIG truck.
Originally posted by /\/3\/\/l8l3 What makes you think it isn't true? I thought they were a lot faster than a 13.7 but I see how that easily happened now.
Forgot to add 10/90 drags upfront and I got airbags now on the rear....driving it on the street is work now
From what I hear, it really sounds like it..
And it doesnt suprise me at all about the engine tone. After all, only one bank is directed towards you.
Yeah man those Chrysler V-10's fire 2 cylinders at a time, and it makes them sound like a tractor because of it. They are still cool trucks though. I love truckd and cars equally, i have 3 trucks and one car to prove it. A lifted dodge dakota(daily driver), my dodge plow truck(beater), and my 99 dakota that is my other project, and my bird. Here is my pic of my 99 in action!! I'm gonna tub it and put a big block in it, after the firebird is done of course.
/\/3\/\/l8l3:Tuned and dialed 566 hp / 488 ft lbs at 5400rpm.....Is that @ the wheels? Those numbers are very impressive....what kind of numbers does it throw down @ the track?

Sorry forgot the pic. Sorry this is off topic...but I love fast trucks....and hopefully i'll get this one done in the next 5 years. Thiis pic was when it was a measlly V6, that was modded and ran low 14's.

well i guess you ment the Truck then... cuz the viper is a ton quicker. LOL
SRT 10 has been known to run 13.2's. i have heard of 12.9's but have yet to see a run or a slip....
very impressive for something that big, but not very practical of a truck
they are very tough to drive from what i hear. they have the same T56 as the viper and i hear the shifts are very hard to do and sloppy. just like the old vipers....
that torque running through those 22 inch wheels makes it very hard to launch right without either bogging down, or just smoking the hell out of the tires.
i am willing to bet a good driver in a L98 car with an auto and 3.27 gears will take one to 50 mph on good street tires.
Does no one on this board pay any attention at all? As soon as I saw his name, I knew that he wasn't bull****ting. He's posted his set-up more than once. Let's get with the program here people.
Wanna hear something funny? Well a good friend of mine works "new vehicle Design" at Chrysler tech, and although he didn't have anything to do with the SRT10 he did know quite a bit about it. He told me that one of their MAIN OBJECTIVES was to be flat out quicker than the F-150 Lightning. He said that Chrsler had to do a few modifications to an SRT10 to get it to beat the lightning, and that straight from a dealer the SRT10 runs13.5-13.7 before anything is done to it, they were pretty disappointed but still call it "the fastest production pickup" because a)they beat the lighting (after they modded the SRT) and b)Ford stopped making the lightning (for now anyway)
He did mention that with less than a grand or so you could knock a second off the quarter mile
I have driven an srt 10. It only had about 17 miles on it, but it did not feel that quick. It did however, have the most wicked set of brakes of anything I have ever driven! nice truck, but it didn't feel any quicker than a stock lightning. They can call it the fastest pick-up because a stock one went like 162 MPH. Don't quote me on that because I can't remember the exact number, but I know Dodge had Guiness there to document the run.

The current Ram SRT-10 is not suppose to be used to tow with. But the 05 or 06 (cant remember which) Model SRT-10 will have the optional tow package as well as the option to have a quad cab

Eat it
Well said bro. Very nice kill. And I am also curious as to if those #'s are at the wheels or flywheel....can only guess flywheel, but I could be wrong. Also what kind of times are putting down at the track?

hey now, dont underestimate those Neon SRT-4's.. last time i was at California Speedway in Nov 04.. there were plenty turning 13.2's and some in the 12.5's their power to weight ratio is what makes them fast.
seen a few SRT-10's on the freeway, i think that wing is just outright lame. i cant see how a 500hp truck only can pull a 13.6 that blows.. the old GMC Syclones were doing 13.4 from the factory. but then again, they were AWD and lighter.
Buddy of mine has a Stock 2004 L and he put down a 13.2 @102..... Having a truck that Hauls....RULES!!!! Problem is that ALOT of people know about the super trucks and avoid messing with them(I cannot buy a race) at all.

And not to take anything away from you, but the SRT-10 truck is on par with a late model Lightning only if the Dodge guy can drive, and drive well! Easy targets for your bolt-on 350 car, much less a built one that's boosted
Originally posted by 383backinblack i guess alot of us haven't seen the multitudes of video's circulating the net with srt 10's RAPING lightnings.
its a similar size truck, with 120 more HP
all you have to do is take the 22" low pro rear wheel/tire off and put a drag radial or an et street on it.
as long as you can drive stick, that bitch will run LOOOOW 13's
You're right, I haven't. So much for witnessing it first hand though right?
In addition, they have huge rear brakes, around 14" rotors I believe, and have the same problems the lastest model Viper guys do - brakes too big for decent wheel/tires. And we all know of the EXTENSIVE selection of sticky tires for 18" and larger wheels...
EDIT : Lightning vs SRT-10 I don't care what's done to either vehicle, so don't bother arguing. I looked for these "multitudes" of videos on the net, and found this. Enjoy

seen that too chief.....nice try though
the entire line of reasoning that says the same size truck with 380hp, is just as fast as the truck with 500hp, and a 6 speed is absolutely assanine.
the things tear ***......unfortunately though they have gotten a bad rep in some places.....because the boobs that can afford them are incapable of driving a stick.......with sticky tires and a good driver, nothing should stop that truck from running 12's
i don't know what school of racing you people come from, but where i come from, 500hp, and 525 ft/lbs is just what it says it is.....regardless of how you wrap it

Boobs!? John Hennessey couldn't get his to run even mid 13s without minor bolt-ons and ideal conditions. I'm SURE you could do better right?

john hennesey is a complete moron and a thief......refrain from using him in any argument ever again
yes i could.......as a matter of fact most people could.
its all got to do with the wheels/tires man.....22's suck
Originally posted by 383backinblack its all got to do with the wheels/tires man.....22's suck
it has 500hp....how is it that hard to understand
Exactly, it has 500HP, not hard to understand. How hard is it to understand that they can't put that power to the ground. Yeah, its in the 22" wheels and tires. But again, due to the large brakes, there is no alternative. How hard is THAT to understand?

its a 14" rotor......a 17" rim should fit over that.....and they make tires for them now too

Checking on the SRT-10 boards, the smallest wheel successfully mounted was 18", and that had minimal clearance. The calipers are large. I was told by a SRT-10 owner that he attempted to find different wheels for it and came up empty handed. He was plagued by wheelspin, which all are.

well if it was me trying to prove a point, id take the rear brakes off and mount slicks on it just to see what it would do....
if you can't adapt it for tires though.....take it out on a road course and do the same with the lightning.....or roll them on the highway
the SRT 10 is alot bigger than the lightning. the lightning is abit smaller than (in wieght) than similar F150's! LOL they arent as heavy as you think.
thats why 500hp is even to the 380 cuz of the extra weight. i do believe is alot tho. let me check my other post about this....\
so i would say drivers race for the most part, but SRT 10 traps alot higher and should out run the lightning in all contests based on the superior power
The lightning is just as underrated as the 03/04 corba. They are really putting out about 450 or more at the crank. A pully and some tuning and you have gobs more. The SRT 10 is a really cool truck but the HP per $ ratio goes to the ford on this one.
i know you guys prob wont believe this, but ive seen a srt-10 get smoked by my buddies 1st gen turbo talon with a 16g turbo at 16 lbs of boost. he had about 5 car lengths on him. the guy driving the srt-10 missed 2nd but even still i wasnt impressed by the srt-10

i dunno people on this board seem to look down on imports. i will tell you what man that kids talon is pretty quick its prob turning low 13's. and damn does that thing ever launch.
