they are nice if you want to drive a goat :p
i think they are like 505hp... i use to sell dodges before, and i always seen them in the shop for tranny & rearend issues..
Visit VTCOA and they can answer any questions. They're slow due to being so heavy, plus they're manual so you're shifting better be spot-on to run any decent times.
so theyre just like chevys with the 60e? LOL yeah i know its a dodge but this is ridiculously good!Quote:

well heres the thing im interested in 2
1) cc auto
2) rc auto (says auto but i think it might be a mistake in the listing)
since its gonna be a dd im leaning towards the cc route...im sure i would mod it a little but heaving modding would go into blue steel (thinkin lq4 with turbo setup) so i dont know.
I like the trucks personally - they're one of the best looking trucks out.
pm me the vin numbers and i'll tell you what they really have.Quote:

how bad are they compared to the 60e's?
All quad cabs are auto, all reg. cabs are 6-speed, all 2wd. I've heard about the rear end issues but the few I've heard about were beaten on constantly. I like em', just hard to keep traction under control with the V-10 and 6 speed. If I could find a good deal, I'd jump on one. :thumb:
yeah lol i kinda want to...ill probably be living in Austin in 2 years while I'm in law school, and I'm not feeling a manual in traffic on a constant basis.
Nice! UT's law program is awesome, but in state tuition is suckering me into LSU. Should be a fun 3 years haha.
i think that all srt10 come with dana60's and 4.56 gears
Oh they got 60's in them? Good to know
They are clean for sure. I heard the gas mileage is horrible though. SO be ready for that on top of everything else.
lol yeah...8
I was looking into one of these about a year or so ago. I agree its one of the best looking trucks out there but when I saw they only get about 9 miles to the gallon, I decided it wasn't that great of a truck!Quote:

I just took mine and did two 14.1 runs missing 3rd both times. In another run I was beating a buddy in a 300C but shifted into 1st instead of 3rd. :giveup: He finished with a 13.7 so I think my run would have been close to 13.4-13.5 since I have a lot of top end. The DA was 3800+ that day in 90+ heat at the CA speedway.
My SRT-10 feels stronger than my Silverado and I managed a 13.7 in the Silvy. The Silvy has better take-off but the Viper has better up top.
BTW, I have my 10 for sale if you are interested.
I've heard hitting third is pretty hard to do in those things!
is it the rc? i'm more interested in the qc, but i really appreciate that info!
There is a guy on the Viper forum that runs 12.02 in his RC with LTs, CAI, DR's and some weight removal.
The aborted run against the 300C looked like this:
...........SRT-10........300C
R/T ........ .204 ....... .200
60' ....... 2.139 ...... 2.177
330 ...... 5.795 ...... 5.920
1/8 ...... 9.800 ...... 8.944
MPH .... 53.92 ....... ??.??
1000 ... 14.116 .... 11.554
1/4 ..... 18.096 .... 13.744
MPH .... 53.89 ..... 103.27
This is my best time in the Silverado:
R/T ........ .271
60' ....... 1.920
330 ...... 5.564
1/8 ....... 8.678
MPH .... 78.54
1000 ... 11.421
1/4 ..... 13.762
MPH .... 96.11
This is my best time in the SRT-10 missing third and coasting for a bit:
R/T ........ .641
60' ....... 2.316
330 ...... 6.020
1/8 ....... 9.249
MPH .... 77.88
1000 ... 11.926
1/4 ..... 14.170
MPH ... 101.18
I will head out in the 10 again once I put in a B&M short throw shifter. I swapped to the stock wheels. The interior is bad ssss on these trucks. Here are some pics.

Yeh, no one can hit third in these unless they go to the B&M or X-Metal shifter and a Viper slave. Those are my next mods if I keep it.Quote:

The SRT-10 is bone stock. No boost needed. The Hemi has a turbo and I am going to install one in the Silverado soon.Quote:

I find it hard to believe anyone is getting one into the 12s stock. I have yet to see it happen.
they're not worth the money dude there stock 5.3l tuned whoopin on em at the track and that V10 is a gas hog but they look nice in the end dude you're gonna be the one paying for it so its ur decision
Huh? Tuned 5.3 beatin on an SRT10? Either someone can't drive to save there life or I should be raising the BS flag
I raced a srt10 reg cab standard with my ecsb 4.8 and with a 100 shot I kept up with/ pulled ahead a little from a 30-120 race. So my truck that seats 6 with a roughly 400-415whp was a little faster than a 2 seater truck with 500hp.
IMO they look ok, but if I liked mopar and wanted a truck... I would get a new base model ram reg cab, and build a motor for it. The newer rams are a lot lighter than the previous years, but get a base model because you can buy a motor and trans and swap it in cheaper than the srt10 costs.
New dodges also look better than the older ones.
no sir. They are slow at the track.Quote:

yea dude theres a guy with like n 07 r 06 ram srt10 the second 2 new front its a 4 door automatic charcoal srt10 he gets it handed him at the track on the 1/8 here at HMP
Thats crazy. If I knew that I could not shift into third while racing, I would not take it to the track. BUT a 14.1 @ 101 is about were you should be with those 1/8 times, You probably only lost a tenth or two, Unless you hit 3rd before the 1/8. I wonder if you went from 2nd to 4th if you would have a faster time. How much are you selling your srt10 for? And why are you selling it?
They look good but very expensive to mod other than nitrous. Check on the price of some good headers., WWAAAAAAYYYYY TTTOOOOOOO expensive.
There is a QC here in Cali that does 10.7 but has a lot of mods. Full weight with roll bar sound system and all. Here is his run: YouTube - Worlds fastest Dodge Ram SRT-10Quote:

Not just 12's but low low 12's. There is one doing 12.02 and another 12.22 both with just bolt-ons all N/A. The first is shooting for 11's N/A as soon as the weather gets better and with a new/better clutch.Quote:

Actually, I had a built trans on those runs and it would chirp second. I don't see getting a low 14 or or high 13 with just a tune. I now have a low cr 408 and did 13.7. A bone stock 10 will do low to mid 13's and with a bad driver like me a 14.1, lol.Quote:

The RC SRT-10 is based on the 2500 frame so it weighs like 5500 lbs. At 30-120 they are at there best so maybe he did not down shift. I raced an Audi S4 on the freeway from 75-140 and everytime we took off if I started in 6th he would pull the nose ahead and keep it there until we let off but if I downshifted it to 5th I would sart pulling him an never stop pulling until we let off.Quote:

At the higher rpm it simply does not want to go into that gear. If I keep it I will install the B&M shifter to help with that issue. I have to shift into 3rd before the 1/8 that is why my times are slower on that run. If you look at my times you will see my MPH was way off because I missed third. If I had not missed it I would have gone on to beat the 300C and probably managed a 13.4-13.5 on that run. See my times below. Also, here is the weather/DA for those runs.

I have a 5.4L Expedition, a 6.7L Silverado, a 6.8L Ram and the SRT-10 so I want to sell the 10 as I don't need it.

If I had a stall that was not stock I would have seen mid 12's... if if if oh and IMO that correction stuff is for the birds.Quote:

Point still stands to the OP... IMO they are not worth the money.
