handed a neon srt his ass/or hit by lightning

nice day today in the mid 80ies

crusing looking for a sucker to race with
sitting at a light (we had a long light )
a srt comes up beside me I noticed he was from California (SRT are not out in Canada yet.
driver was in his mid 30's with a mid 20's passenger

pasenger says to me so you think your truck is fast

i said did you read my license plate holder He's says no
i said in a few minutes you'll able to tell all your buddies what it says.

they start laughing
he say's do you know what your fucking with
i said yep lets do her
light change and i was off (good thing for those traction bars)

when i hit second i was already 5 cars ahead i hoped they could hear the ol tires chirp, when i came to the next light i couldn't resist and said did you read my plate holder

he gave me the finger and kept on looking straight

plate holder reads member of the lightning 12 second club

What an idiot... even if your lightning was stock, it should still smoke him.

Sounds like the drivers of that SRT were right in Dodge's target market for it, which unfortunately, includes my age group. Nice kill, I can't wait for the new Lightning, no AWD (damnit!!!) but it will still be cool and I may do a little trade here...snows on that truck would do ok, right?

The Ram SRT-10 is going to be an awsome truck but I don't think it is going to be worth the estimated price

I would have bought a Lightning in a second over the CL-S, but here in Michigan I don't think a Lightning would do too good in the winter.

Oh yeah, nice kill.

Srt-10 is faster on the quarter mile
but that on a proto -type i heard the production trucks are going to be around the 5200-5500
which will push the trucks time up to around 13.0-13.2

most lightnings stock can do 13.5


my first run stock with 2000 miles i hit a 13.6
at the end of the weekend my fastest time was 13.34

all with in the new srt-10


0-60 times are the same.

Dodge Ram SRT-10 Specifications


Engine
Type: V-10, OHC
Displacement: 8.3-liter
Horsepower: 500 bhp
Torque: 500 lb.-ft.
Peformance
0-60 mph 5.0 sec.
Standing 1/4 mile 12.9 sec. @106 mph
0-100-0 mph 18 sec.
Lateral acceleration 0.92 g
Slalom 69 mph
Curb Weight (estimated): 5,000 lbs.


biggest problem with this truck is that its a v-10 so mods are going to be outrageous.

as my truck stands now i would kill the new srt-10
for $3000 installed i added another 120 hsp matching the srt-10
and the SVT people figured i running 12.3-12.6

havent had a chance to make it to the track yet.

tranny // no problem had a valve body put in with the deep pan
with the chip and valve body tranny shifts hard and chirps in second every time.

next mod will be the bremo brake upgrade, the mods are doing havoc to the front rotors.

Wow, from just $3K worth of mods you are running the same numbers as the V10 that is good enough reason for me.

Sorry for sounding dumb (don't know about trucks too much), are either Lightening or SRT-10 4WD??

mods will be cheaper for you USA guys i had to bring them up from California so there was shipping and the dollars differance.

accually lower numbers in the performance area but have matched the srt-10 for horsepower and torq
