Drove a Viper truck today. It sat good as in I liked the seat. My wife likes the way the front looks. Performance wise. Well I thought it would have been better.:thumbdown:
It only made me want my truck faster and completely different seats.

yeah they just seem like a waist to me. If they were crazy about a 500hp v10 truck they shoulda put it in the dakota, lighter and all, plus I think the new dodge front ends are butt ugly, the only ones I ever liked were the 00ish models,
@ the track i watch a pair of NEW 07 Reg cabs... (possibly 08s? only went 14.40s... Bolth were RCSB .... but another guy came by my shop and said his 03/04 model went 13.20s RCSB also.... thats decent for stock ! but who the hell can afford to Mod one ?? My dentist said 10,000 for Headers/exhaust on his !!! 7,000 in parts and 3,000 for install ( He has a Viper GTS...)
yeah my buddy used to work at a dodge store and said many of the crew cab versions he drove couldn't even break the rear tires loose. lol
They are way Overated!!!
Damn that sucks for a 500hp regular cab. Theres a crew cab one in town I would love to play with. Thats ridiclous for install, Thats why I love my chevy!Quote:

yeah no $h*t there! i know it's rated at 500 but come on... think of the hp to weight. as big a my buddies dodge is and as small as my 06 gmc is. i've handed it to plenty of kiddies drivin a dodge hemi at the track in my old truck and the only difference was my step side had 3.73 and a mostly fiberglass bed!
I said this 10 months ago, when I was looking at a srt10, my truck(2005 vho) was paid up and I had the money(sell my truck, had a buyer and add to the pot) to get a srt10, I found one in texas took it for a drive(my first time in one) and wow not that fast:( came back home a few week later I ran across a srtQcab (I was still stock few small mods/tune) out of 3 runs i got him once and he got me twice not by muchQuote:

I know I will see 11's when finish(end feb 08), and getting 17 mpg:thumb:(when I stay out of boost:D) were the srt is 9 mpg.
vff_jeff quote is about right on it, and you can have a truck the way you want it ChevyPower
I'm not trying to talk my truck up its not that special compare to the great trucks I seen on this site, I just want to say if you come to a point where you want to get a fast/er truck and you own one look at it before running off and replace it
