Ooooo,
Have you seen the 2004 SRT-10 [move]500 HORSEPOWER[/move] truck they have?! Check this out:
http://www.dodge.com/ram_truck/index...pe=vehicle_nav. I wonder what its load pulling capacity is?

 

Probably not much. It is a sport truck like a lightning. All it's designed to do is go FAAAAAASSSST. ;D

 

BUT ......Look at our truck (diesel's in general) what are our trucks MADE for? Pulling. Ok What is the Lightning made for? Racing. What have the diesel trucks turned into? Racing. What COULD the SRT/10 do? It could pull. Probaly woudnt do a vvery good job but it could.

 

I've always loved Lightnings, hopefully the SRT/10 will give them a run for their money. I'm sure Colletti will bring something interesting to the table in a few years to respond....

 

And then theres......LINGENFELTER
The world's fastest street legal American muscle corvette. ;D
8.93 in the 1/4. And yes its faster than the McLaren F1.

What does the SRT/10 do in the 1/4?

 

Here's a link with some info and performance expectations:

I suspect traction is going to be a premium in this thing, so it's going to take a nimble footed driver to get a good time out of it. These things will be mean up top, though.

Here's another page with some more info. There's a link on the right "Performance Specifications" that gives estimated 1/4s and 0-60 times. 13.5 - 13.8 @ 106-110 seems to be the guesses.

Does it come with two spares?

Because I imagine that after a couple of passes the rear tires are going to be history.

Wonder if a neck brace comes with it as optional equipment?

 

DC should put a neckbrace in all the their trucks.

 

I have read a few articles in various magazines that said that the SRT-10 is designed to chew up the Lightning and spit it out.

Throw a few sandbags in the bed and the traction should be better.

Wonder if it gets 20+ MPG?......You think?? :

 

10city 17 hwy.........thats a big difference which i dont think is true.

 

Hey Tx, you sure thats not 10 city blocks or 17 highway miles per tank ?
