2nd Fastest Production Truck

[TakeYourTopOff]

Seen it tonight on the way home from work on 32nd Ave S. Red Quad cab SRT-10 new in town has the Detroit Lakes dealer plate on it yet.

2nd nicest/fastest production truck only to it's counterpart the reg cab version...

man I'd love to get my hands on either one....

[BlueSRT0483]

I had to re-read this, cuz I thought the SRT-10 truck was the fastest production truck, til I saw Quad Cab..

What are the performance #'s/times on this..?

I would assume it's just heavier, so maybe a bit /tad bit slower..

Faster than the Lighting?

[Joel]

Wrong.

Its not that much faster than the lightning. The 2005 SRT10 runs a 13.5@106mph. A 2001 Lightning runs a 13.7@101mph. The SRT10 isn't that much faster considering how much bigger the motor is.

[PSiedTSi]

the MPH shows the HP difference tho...

[MisterCMK]

right, but the SRT10 is not that much faster than the lightning. I'm a little disappointed since the SRT10 has a helluva lot bigger motor than the lightning. I think it needs a little forced induction.

[PSiedTSi]

well i think the problem is traction...i remember watching them test em on C&D and they couldnt get traction no matter what they did...my guess is slicks vs slicks would show a very different outcome...

The nice thing about the Lightning is that a simple pulley and belt change can net some serious hp gains over the SRT.

[PSiedTSi]

yeah but i bet I/H/E on a V10 yields some pretty impressive gains as well

But to get any real gains further, it will require alot of $$$ and some serious mods to obtain. For modding purposes only, I'd take the lightning.

oh no definately agreed...factory F/I vehicles own

I'll just get an old GMC Syclone and throw a bigger turbo on and smoke both of those trucks. Then the tranny will fall out, oh well.

Sounds like your kind of vehicle!

[treimche]

Someone needs to buy one of these new fast trucks and show us what they can do! Fast trucks are fuckin sweet.

[MisterCMK]

Tintmasters should hurry up and throw some go-fast parts at their dually

I guess the decision is up to you????

Personally i think their both INSANE!!

[PUREVIL]

My friend used to have a Typhoon we had lots of fun in that truck. I think the SRT10 is sweet I'd like one, but I bet gas mileage is crap!

[ticklemedaly]

Id rather have the lightning because it is actually designed to haul a little. Ive heard that on the visor and in the owners manual of the srt10 that it stats not to haul with it because the truck isn't designed that way. On that note, ive also heard from other techs that Corwin has replaced many tranny/engines in those because of people hauling shit with them.
