its funny to see you ask this. my dad has the Ram SRT-10 with the viper engine and he pretty much spanks my tl-s, lol. that thing has a ton of torque. im not familiar with the night runner edition.

I believe the nightrunner is just a sport appearance package for the regular 5.7L Hemi Ram, which a TL should beat convincingly. they are far too heavy. they pull great off the line, but you'll real him in quickly and pass him rather easily.

1/4mile: 16.2s@86mph

Seems like you will beat him by quite a large margin!

no you should not win the night runner edition is actually the one with the Viper engine in it, the reason its named night runner is because its 4-door instead of 2 and there was only 254 made.

"Night Runner - 400 produced, painted in Brilliant Black exterior paint, comes with Dark Nickel Pearl finish 22-inch wheels, black chrome grill inserts, unique Night Runner Badging, a black center stack and center console bezel overlay, and a serialized Night Runner dash plaque. Only available as a 2006 regular cab or 2006 Quad cab. "

Got that quote from an article of Doge Ram SRT-10 at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Ram_SRT_10

What does that mean? Can a regular cab or quad cab be a SRT-10 model?

If he has the viper's engine in it, he will win for sure. Otherwise, you should win.

i dont know what to say to that really...are u sure its the night runner edition? does it look like the pic above? the reason i ask is because i know that there were only 254 made and that all 254 had the SRT-10 but at the same time im not 100% sure im more or less 95ish% sure.

It's not looking to good for the 'ole TL.
Heavy ass truck or not. The TL just doesn't have the power.

So, based on that, the SRT-10 can be a Nightrunner. Now, can the 5.7 be a Nightrunner too??
With a chip and exhaust, a SRT-10 apparently can run a 13.0 (5,800lbs)

lol i was just checking out the Ciper alley forums right now lol hahahah funny. and yes thats what im still wondering can the 5.7 model be a night runner as well? i eman why would they only make 254 of them if they were going to make two types the one with the SRT-10 and the regular one? the only explanation i can think of is that maybe the 254 made were the ones with the SRT-10 and thats why they only made 254 of them it was sort of a special edition? but why would they both have the same name at the same time, if it was a special edition it would have its own name right? hmmmmmmm ima have to research this when i home im now very interested in knowing the truth.

You can get a Nightrunner edition with either the hemi or the viper (srt10). Its just an appearance package

Srt-10 night runner... forget about it. Hemi 5.7 night runner, you'll blow it away. I owned a 2005 Hemi 5.7 ram sport package and although it went well for a truck, it would not even touch my '92 legend coupe
