This is a race that happened...
http://media.putfile.com/Titan-CrewCab-LE-vs-SRT10-Quad-Cab

Nothing better than cuttin a near perfect light and beating a production built speed machine. A kill is a kill. Here's a Guiness pint to ya :chug:

Nice kill i guess. I mean a kill is a kill.

Sweet Run RB.. That'll show that rich guy that he coulda bought 2 titans fully pimped out like ours mind you.... for the price of 1 overpriced srt-10, LOL

yeah, a kill is a kill but he was sleeping at the light.
just look at the e/t difference and mph.
good run, your truck sounds good and your crazy handleing a camera like that while racing :jest:

Still even throw a set of cams in RB's truck (if damn Jim Wolfe would ever release them) and boom you have a 30k sleeper truck that does excactly the same thing as a 65k viper truck does.. We are only on the tip of the iceberg for mods on the titans soon as other boltons come available no reason why the titan cant be a high 12 sec truck on small shot of N20,headers,cams,cai, programmer and exhaust..

Good run and sounds like you were pretty exited on the video. Was the srt 10 stock, because in my area they run mid 14s stock.

yeah it was a stock truck. most I see here run that fast or faster 13.4's. He actaully had better traction than I had heard...My blazing run of glory. Just goes to show how you can win against a slightly faster ET truck. He was never able to reestablish me treeing him. I would have liked to run him again but he went and parked after that and I ran a diesel.

:werd:

I was confused for a moment there with the dodge having a better ET but yeah, your RT was way better.
How do you manage to hold the camera and drive at the same time?? I'd get booted from the track for even attempting that one!

nice race and yeah reaction counts!!

whats up bro, I've seen your truck at the track but I didnt know you were here on the forum...

Thanks haus!

Yeah I've been poken around here for a bit...Love that dropped chevy and the color is pure! Gonna put mine on that kind of diet soon.

Were you at HRP last night? One of the other "white" Titans was there and he got asked to drive a lightning...and he did a 12.7. Not bad for a day at the track in someone elses ride.

I wasnt at the track last night, had to work and got off too late... new motor going in tomorrow so hopefully I'll be going in about 2weeks...

Sweet. Ok who or what is the organ donor? Caddy, Z06, GM Crate, purpose built 5.3?

yea, hehe i just got on i didnt know this site existed till rb gave me a link :P yea your truck is wicked fast.. pretty impressive to run as fast as you do.. maybe one day after bout nother 5-6k in mods i'll get into the 12's, hehe next thing i need is definatly the tune job that rb's titan got then hopefully i'd be getting a 13.3-13.5 on the 90 shot im on now.. cams are supposedly coming out soon for us as well, that'd definatly give us nother 25-35hp considering ours are tiny and our hp curve falls off at 5200rpm's think the jim wolfe cams are going to be more of a top end cam which should be awesome :)

yea i almost got "tossed" off the track by the old granny where you get your slip i didn't have a helmet and when i got the 12.7 in the lightnin' she was ticked i didnt wear a helmet started yellin at me and shit.. said you better not run that truck again till you get a helmet or i'll have u thrown out!! 25 mins later i run my titan and get my first 13 second run,lol and of course she remembered my face, and of course i had no helmet so u can imagine what took place next,lol

Interesting point.

Hmmm... Vettes, Stangs, M3’s, M5’s, Lightings, Z28’s, WS6’s are some of the ones I usually play with in mine. But I’m sure glad I’m in Houston too. But you were racing a QC. Well, I have a buddy of mine with a QC in town that I’m dying for you to meet now that I think of it AND a video camera. Some better footage is in order because that video didn’t clearly show that to be an SRT-10. Don’t believe just because you see some 22x10” wheels on a truck that it was the real deal. Most SRT QCs come with a tonneau bed cover (and the wing attached) so there would have been no need to remove his tailgate like the one in your video. There’s a heck of a lot of posers running around and there are many ways of determining that with a glance. I’ve even seen a silver poser but with a camper. But you did run very well for a stock Uncle Ben’s P/U; and your truck sounded good too. Hopefully I’ll make it out there one day in mine so you can show me that run again in person. But you’d better put the camera down because I don’t want to hear excuses.


Sweet Run RB.. That'll show that rich guy that he coulda bought 2 titans fully pimped out like ours mind you.... for the price of 1 overpriced srt-10, LOL
It's no big deal; you don't have to be rich to own one. Sounds like you have a lot of hate built up there against a little indulgence. I agree with your avatar to piss on HEMI's tho; I do it too.

I don't hold any animosity towards the truck itself it's usually the cocky owners that drive them i have problems with, they always assume anything else out there on the road is slow, anything can be made to be fast.. I really don't understand why people talk so much shit about imports at the race track everytime i go i hear hatred all around me.. so of course im going to defend my truck as any other owner would defend his..

That sounds like you think all of us SRT-10 owners are the same. I myself, am very humble but I do like my truck and know its pretty quick for a truck,especially since I supercharged it. :devil:
Btw,I only paid 32,900 for my truck w/ 80 miles on it.So I didnt spend 60,000 on it.Its funny that every I look people seem to keep upping the price. :confused:

Interesting point.

So it begins...

Oh yeah this guy picked me. I was already in line waiting to run. No need to defend it the video, timeslip and the people at the track saw the same race and can verify the SRT10 truck. Heck the young guy owner of it scoffed at it pre-staging to the track guy…”It’s just a Titan”. His tailgate was down and yeah the big ars wing thing was on it. If he drove his truck better it might have been closer. I think he was likely apathetic and over confident.

A purpose built production truck calling me out...this is exactly what I wanted the attention of all performance guys/girls driving trucks just like me. However there is one difference I have a tiny aftermarket. So call me out….beat me up on video most have already but remember this it’s just a stock motor truck with 4 real doors that carries groceries and babies and runs perfect on 86pump gas…oh and it’s a first year foreign jobby.

Oh and yeah just incase you think I’m an idiot about dodges look at this picture of my other trucks. Oh yeah the license plate on my wife's HEMI Durango reads "whoop" cuz this is what the my Titan did to it.

I just Love the trucks market!

You did win the race but you never beat the truck.You beat the driver.Simple as that.

[SIZE=3]Well, you shouldn't assume that I think you're an idiot when it comes to Dodges because I DO think that. Owning a HEMI doesn't make you educated on the matter at hand. I don't drive a HEMI. I have a co-worker that sold his HEMI powered truck as soon as I got my SRT-10. It's not like I showed off or made him feel low. I'm not that way, but it just shows the mentallity of some people who feel they can't afford something then declare it's so stupid to own.

Sorry if that seemed a bit harsh but you have to understand that posting up a video with you hollaring "THAT WAS AN SRT-10 BABY WOOOOOOOOO I BEAT HIS ASS," makes it look like the truck itself called you out. Nope a terrible driver did that was, how'd you say it? "apathetic and over confident?" I agree, he likely was. Secondly, the video sounds like it's directed to ALL SRT-10s. Mine doesn't haul children or groceries, it hauls azz and I certainly don't need elaborate aftermarket add-ons for REAL performance vehicles to be mere appetizers to me. I boast a stock tune as well due to warranty issues I don't want to be caught up in.

It looks to me like you spend a lot of time at the track. If so then you should be looking at the et like everyone else does. The bad driver in the SRT won by .3 in the end and 4 mph. Last time I checked et was the way to measure who was faster (and I've NEVER spent a second at the track).
Also:
Curb Weight (from Edmunds.com)
- Nissan Titan Crew Cab- 5073 lbs.
- SRT-10 QC- 5691 lbs.
That's 618 lbs. heavier....and according to et he still beat you; without a bottle.

Now I don't mean for my reply to sound as if I am mashing down on imported vehicles. I happen to like Titans very much (especially the interior) and really they CAN be made to be pretty damn fast. In fact I want one to haul groceries and my daughter in. I wouldn't try to make a fool out of a particular vehicle because of one person.

"THIS POST WAS EDITED BECAUSE BELOW WAS DIRECTED INCORRECTLY TO RB AND I HEREBY APOLOGIZE TO HIM."

Sweet Run RB.. That'll show that rich guy that he coulda bought 2 titans fully pimped out like ours mind you.... for the price of 1 overpriced srt-10, LOL


Still even throw a set of cams in RB's truck and boom you have a 30k sleeper truck that does excactly the same thing as a 65k viper truck does..

I don't hold any animosity towards the truck itself it's usually the cocky owners that drive them i have problems with, they always assume anything else out there on the road is slow.

I didn't spend $65K on mine. Not even $55K or $45K... More like $35K (which includes TT&L) with low double digit milage. Just think about how much you'd have to spend on mods to get yours to do what a stock SRT-10 can do.

I'd love to race a Titan with an 80 shot. Here's what it looks like when the driver's not sleeping. :judge:



http://videos.streetfire.net/video/wm/17a93aea-8b92-4161-9daf-a45b2cce1e7c.htm

last i heard the CC crew cab titans are 5300-5400lbs don't know where ur getting your numbers from, so in all actuallity the weight diffrence is only 250lbs and 100more hp on the srt-10's side, that srt shouldve walked the titan but like others have said he don't know how to drive.. He hasnt modded much to be able to compete with the srt-10 how do u figure 2-3k of aftermarket mods are unreasonable? lol most are bolt ons everyone adds to thier vehicle that goes to the track.. So do i think the srt-10 is worth the extra 20-30k hell no i wouldnt pay that much for just 200more hp, i'd just turbo or s/c my truck lot cheaper that way :)

An SRT quadcab with no cover, as an 05, will weigh at least 5700lbs with the driver. That is if you're almost out of gas. I had the hard cover and bed rug on mine and came through at almost 5900lbs. The SRT QC's come pig rich from the factory. A 600.00 computer picks it up 60hp/60ft-tq at the rear wheels. Throw on a magnaflow exhaust and there is another 20 at the wheels.

Why don't you go spend 20-30k modding your truck. Then let me know when I can come run you. I personally would never own a nissan. That's a personal preference. I'm fortunate to have disposable income to play with cars. Owning a 10 second 6000lb truck that gets 15mpg with the AC on is fun.

Thanks Evil. However neither redlighted and or lost traction. SO the better DRIVER won and the TRUCK crossing first was the Titan Crew Cab. Not bad for Goodyear Forteras (70K radials).

Venom - I think you got me pegged wrong. The video and timeslip speaks for itself. PERIOD. Also I have not made any references to price or what kind of attitude you or other SRT10 "QUAD" cab or 2 doors may have. Or for that matter what kind of truck is stupid to own. So please correct parts of your last post directed in my direction.

Also my truck is 5260-5380lbs me in it pending how many diapers, hot dogs and tator tots I bought at the store are left in the back seat.

The video was made but again it obviously was pure excitement and thus the commentary is solely related to the experience of "treeing" a "SRT10 QUAD CAB" and being first down the track. NOT an SRT10 2 door. Sorry that Dodge named the performance trucks as generically as tehy did among the different models. Sorry My bad. I will correct it. "I tree'd and video'd and SRT10 Quad Cab not and SRT10 2 door."

Thanks for the few comments and I do believe that all around the SRT10 Quad or 2door would be a fun truck to drive.

So in closing I say this:
My video is directed at bad drivers with high performance production/purpose built speed machines.

By the way if you noticed the drivers names are removed I do have respect for him as a driver even though we never met.

Peace out.

BTW, an .04 light is hardly a perfect light. Just an FYI.

lol 400ths of a second isnt perfect?? what do you get then?? bout as fookin close as a non professional racer can get without redlighting

In drag racing .04 is a lot. I guess it's the same as saying you're quicker than that SRT10. You weren't, you just had a better light. You had a good reaction time, but it's not a perfect light.

I had a .02 total package this weekend bracket racing and lost, so to me, .04 is a lot.

BTW, an .04 light is hardly a perfect light. Just an FYI.

Hmmm..last I looked a "heads up race" with a full tree was who got there first and .0000 was perfect.

Yeah I went did a search for the benefit of this thread.

Awe I see where your going...good reaction times yourself... I corrected my opening statement to read "near perfect light"...Thanks.

If you know your truck and you should your reaction time should be very good.
I never cut anything worse than a .02
Most times my lights are .015 or better.Every now and then i do redlight but it's rare.

Nice kill RB, wont coment oh the other :turd:

Good kill RB, Sounds like that titan will get it. Wish I still had the beater to run ya with. :jest: Shame theyre hatin', I could understand if you were an ass but apparently nobody with horns wants to admit they can get beat. Oh well. Good kill all the same.

Hey Bill! Still losing/getting sleep?

Yeah not quite is fast as the SRT10 QUUD CAB stock but if was sure fun knowing that should the opportunity present itself that it would be a close race. There are a few us Titans wanting to go go go but we are lacking the aftermarket so we have to go with what we have available..CA Intakes, Exhaust, headers, nitrous, 1 fair supercharger, trutrac and just recently a ECU tune that gives 27HP and 35TQ down low under 4K on 89octane. So in time we will know more of what this VK56 motor is about. Much like the animal the 5.3 turned into. Meanwhile its just killing me waiting for it. I'm waiting for cams, then headers.

Shame theyre hatin', I could understand if you were an ass but apparently nobody with horns wants to admit they can get beat. Oh well. Good kill all the same.

Funny you say "horns"...did you check out the reaction time of the red SRT10 QuadCab? .6686....dang near the sign of the devil. Lord save us all.

RB hehe finally figured out a way to pay for my custom tune and maybe some more goodies :P hehe go read clubtitan thread

Did you drop 3 tenths with that?

Did you drop 3 tenths with that?

Nissan detuned down low. Top end is virtually unchanged.
Stock NA 15.10
UpRev ECU Tuned NA 14.55-14.74

Damn I want it now, thats a big improvment!

hey i bet this tune would "almost" work on your truck you might be able to get them to look at your ecu and see if they can do anything, i know the 350z and titan ecu's have a ton of simularities.. if your truck has the drive by wire crud i know you'll benefit :P what mods are done to your frontier so far?

Venom - I have not made any references to price or what kind of attitude you or other SRT10 "QUAD" cab or 2 doors may have. Or for that matter what kind of truck is stupid to own. So please correct parts of your last post directed in my direction.

It has been fixed. I rambled on forgetting I had to generate another post to direct that retort to. My bad..

It has been fixed. I rambled on forgetting I had to generate another post to direct that retort to. My bad..

Thanks Venom - your a stand up guy. Obviously the SRT10's are tapped for use of power at anytime where's I have to stop flip some switches turn a knob..etc.. etc..

I have always rooted for underdogs and this truck is no different. It has been an uphill battle to mod and we don't have the exposure that the domestics do. So the video of the SRT10 Quad Cab that took place could have easily been made with a Ford Lightning, Chevy SS, BMW etc. I took the opportunity as it presented itself and turned it into nothing more than an attention grabber in the end which worked.

Obviously in this day and age assumptions are made too quickly, tempers flare and hatred consumes. Had I had true malice I would have continued the video footage to show more of the SRT10 Quad Cab with the sleepy driver. I'm sure if we are to meet again it won't be the same race...but then again I may get lucky.

Thanks again for editing your earlier post. :chug:

Where do I begin?
Oh yeah, RB:

Traction - Yeah I believe that. QC’s don’t lose traction that easily being they are all automatics.

Now I'm sure did get you pegged wrong. I am in no way the type to say an SRT is unbeatable. It is certainly possible for an awesome driver of a V6 mustang to achieve what is thought to be the impossible. I know you did not make reference to vehicle price or attitude an SRT owner would have. Those remarks were by someone else (and I will get to them soon. They know who they are) and my reply was meant for THAT person who assumes someone like me would pay $65K for a truck. I paid half that only because I had $20K in cash for a down payment. But that’s not the point here and that retort was not meant for you RB so I do apologize.

Next…

Good kill RB, Sounds like that titan will get it. Wish I still had the beater to run ya with. :jest: Shame theyre hatin', I could understand if you were an ass but apparently nobody with horns wants to admit they can get beat. Oh well. Good kill all the same.

No no, AGAMBILL there’s no hatin'. I was merely concerned about some over excitement I felt wasn’t properly directed to the specific model he “walked” (yeah I said it). It felt strange seeing all the hollering RB was doing as shown in that video when just the other day if I had rolled down my window and listened carefully I would have heard the driver of a C6 Vette yell “uncle.” But RB clarified himself. Meanwhile I failed to think of the rush of excitement that he must have felt initially after a victory. I probably would have been that way as well not thinking of all the factors that could be. But it was a kill so that is that; :hail: credit is rightly deserved here where it is due. And I don’t have horns. People that know of me would testify that I am always quick to admit when I am at the receiving end of a kill; even if it were a Yugo that took me out. I would love to make others laugh with that story (if it were to happen). I never see myself in an invincible vehicle.

And finally…


Sweet Run RB.. That'll show that rich guy that he coulda bought 2 titans fully pimped out like ours mind you.... for the price of 1 overpriced srt-10, LOL


Still even throw a set of cams in RB's truck and boom you have a 30k sleeper truck that does excactly the same thing as a 65k viper truck does..

I don't hold any animosity towards the truck itself it's usually the cocky owners that drive them i have problems with, they always assume anything else out there on the road is slow.

And a scene from our last episode...


I didn't spend $65K on mine. Not even $55K or $45K... More like $35K (which includes TT&L) with low double digit milage. Just think about how much you'd have to spend on mods to get yours to do what a stock SRT-10 can do.
Venom Power improperly directed this to RB. I can now reply to the right person, who still seems to have something to say below.



last i heard the CC crew cab titans are 5300-5400lbs don't know where ur getting your numbers from.

As I stated.. EDMUNDS .com is where the info is from.

He hasnt modded much to be able to compete with the srt-10 how do u figure 2-3k of aftermarket mods are unreasonable? lol most are bolt ons everyone adds to thier vehicle that goes to the track.. So do i think the srt-10 is worth the extra 20-30k hell no i wouldnt pay that much for just 200more hp, i'd just turbo or s/c my truck lot cheaper that way :)

Again with the “sounding like an accountant” voice. It makes me :barf: sick. Do you need me to lend you some money? Do you have something against what you think is expensive? You like cheaper? Good, you get what you paid for. There is no $20-$30K extra for an SRT-10. $30K IS ABOUT THE PRICE THAT WAS PAID. And I hear sooo much about mods from everyone. I’m about throwing mods out the window and going toe to toe STOCK tough guy. That’s like someone dropping a 427 in an S-10 and going bananas on how they whipped a virtually stock Z28. "Okay Captain Obvious, here's a pat on the head and have a nice day."

If you want to represent your choice in a vehicle then do so. If you have added bolt ons the vehicle has been tainted and you weren’t proud of it and its performance in the first place. If you want something that can hang with the big dogs then get something that’s rolled off the production line that way. I bought mine not because of the speed, but because it is rare. I didn’t want to be one of the same old everyday millions of trucks driven around. I like going for weeks, and even months without seeing another SRT on the road. That doesn’t mean there are no others, but the fact that I don’t see others puts a certain good feeling in me. It’s like showing up to a party and someone else is wearing the same exact clothes I am. Hell no. And it’s not a rich guy thing it’s a preference and a relief that I don’t have to spend a dime on mods and can always count on people to be pointing and wondering because it's something hardly see. Plus it’s ALL under warranty as is. Try and get Nissan, Ford, Chevy, Chrysler or ANY truck producing corporation to warranty bolt ons if some problem occurs. All that is likely to happen is a nationwide black balled warranty and them looking for an excuse to deny your claim. Now if it's just a toy and not an everyday driver then have at it. If it IS an everyday driver your still paying for then that's your problem if one comes up. For someone intent on constantly talking about what something costs I'd think you would be worried about what your local stealership would say regarding the warranty you paid for after knowing what you have done with your "choice". Oh I know what they'd say.. "TOOMNYMODS!!!"

That's me "Toomnymods" i proudly live by that name cause in my eyes stock is boring.. everyone has thier opinions but i like tricking out stuff and making it mine so to speak, yes it's my everyday driver, but I'm not really worried bout the warranty if it blows big deal i put in forged then go with a 200 shot instead of the measly 90.. this isn't the first truck i've spent money on, my first i bought in high school and had for 7 years and it ended up turning into a show stopper.. although the truck was totalled in 99 i dearly miss it it was bodydropped, had a walkthru, 26 body mods ( shaved door handles, shaved squirters, roll pan, welded shut tailgate, etc..) custom PPG paintjob with purple pearl in the clear (me and my best friend painted), airbagged on 18's with 8 -12" subs spent over 25k on that ride so as you can see i have no problems making what i like modified, i've only begun on the titan 9 months ago and have already spent prob close to 6k on her.. Last truck i built was all about suspension and sounds, this one will be the same but with motor into the picture.. Prob wont do the suspension till i'm into the 12's want to 4-link this truck and bag it all the way around on some 22's

Good run w/ the SRT-10! I had a similar bout with a nasty cammed 454SS a couple months ago. I dunno if he was sleeping at the light or what but I pulled a good three trucks on him off the line, and by the end of the 1/4 he was about a truck behind me. It felt great even though I know he was way faster than my truck was lol.

On a side note, the last trip to HRP I made I was encountered by a guy who said he had a red Titan (but apparently rode with someone that night) and wanted to run me after seeing me make my best run of the night. Kind of a cocky sounding guy, wore glasses and was probably in his mid 30's. Do you guys happen to know anyone that fits the description?

I dunno if he was sleeping at the light or what but I pulled a good three trucks on him off the line, and by the end of the 1/4 he was about a truck behind me. It felt great even though I know he was way faster than my truck was lol.

On a side note, the last trip to HRP I made I was encountered by a guy who said he had a red Titan (but apparently rode with someone that night) and wanted to run me after seeing me make my best run of the night.

Well KB - thanks. As for that description was it this guy?

lol nah, I'll be nice and say he wasn't that ugly haha. I was going to ask on the Titan boards but I don't want to start a flame or anything. Just wanted to see if he was still interested in running for fun at HRP. :)

Sorry bro - I just had to to do it...The description does not match anyone I know.

Hey KB - I wouldnt worry to much about the Red Titan the two fastest in the area are in this thread.

We have a thread started in the Texas Section at Titantalk.com. I tried to set it up for fun for all trucks to go out and play. Simulair to some of the GTG you guys do here that I have attended. Anyway just post when your going and then we will see how things work out. We have several Dodge, Ford, Chevy guys over there that contribute to the forums already.

i'll be back in the houston area for a couple of weeks before christmas hrp closes for the yr on dec 17th so i might go back on the 1st or something and race 3-4 times before yr closes.. gotta get my racing out of my system don't know what i'm gona do for 3-4 months that i cant go anywhere :/

yeah, a kill is a kill but he was sleeping at the light.
just look at the e/t difference and mph.
good run, your truck sounds good and your crazy handleing a camera like that while racing :jest:
yeah i agree. he DID loose. its his fault he was dozin off. if it were a pro-rac e he still would have lost. soo. good kill. and mount your camera next-time..wild man!! :drive: :drive:

Hey KB - Just one more....It must have been this guy? LOL

Almost pointed me out except I'm not cocky at all. But the mid thirties with glasses fits..

Well...that was some good reading:engarde:

Here's where I get confused. My neighbor had a 2005 SRT-10RC. Very nice truck. We went to the track. His best run of the night (1/8 mile) was a 9 flat. If this QC driver was so bad how did he manage a 8.7605 @ 87.52mph? He may have screwed the reaction time but he had made 1/2 of that up by the big end.
The QC had you beat at the 330', the 1/8th, the 1000', and the 1/4. You happened to cross the line first so you win, don't get me wrong. Just don't expect that everytime a SRT-10 lines up next to you.
I beat my neighbor by a full second on our first run because he couldn't hook. 10.1 to 11.1. But that was the only time I beat him.

Your buddy has a SC with i would assume traction issues as well as the fact you gotta know how to launch a 500hp 6 speed truck.
The QC guy slept on the light but thats about it.It's an AUTO push the pedal to the floor and the truck does the rest.
You can't really have driver error in an auto other than reaction time.IMO!!!!
:bang: :drive:

who would bring a 500+hp truck to the track without slicks though and expect to win? the ass end dont weigh enough to grab hard, i dunno the slicks would be my first mod if i had a srt-10

Yeah I know. Thing is I don't expect anything when I line up. Just too much shizzle can happen at the green light. Hince my excitement in the video. Even my truck has been known to smok'm through 60ft on my GY Forteras. That same night I ran 2.3-2.4 60ft and had to pedal it and still ran 14.0.

Anyway when you going to hook up with parrish and get that sweet ass hoe moving? :)

FYI,
Slicks will not fit on a Ram SRT10. Smallest rim that will clear the rear rotors are 17". That leaves drag radials as the only option. There are only 2 sizes in 17" a drag radial. 1 is only 28" (or so) tall, which is too short for a 4.56 geared truck. The other one is 30" and it just became available.

Only way to put on slicks is to grind down the calipers (bad idea) or remove the calipers completely (worse idea). :turd:

That's why SRT10 owners go to the track without slicks. :judge:

Also, the ass end is not light on the Ram SRT-10s. Weight distribution for the overall vehicle is 55/45. Can't get a whole lot better than that. The traction problems are from the high torque down low, not because of the weight.



Okay, back to Dodge bashing again, lol. :bang:

just make sure you get some 17x10 wheels for them DR....

guess us and the srt-10 guys are in same boat our calipers r too big to run anything under a 17" wheel so im stuck with getting some MT ET street drags soon as i buy me some 17" wheels after tax season in a few months

True that. :drive:

Not sure if you meant my buddy but, his SRT-10RC was stock, 100%. No power adder, not even a tune. Yet the QC in the vid ran faster. Thats what has me confused. QC v. RC I would assume the RC would have better times easily stock for stock. Makes me wonder if the QC in the vid wasnt stock.

It runs pretty good for a 5800lb tank. I was working a Wide Band sensor issue in the first vid so, ignore it...its way off. The second is startup of the 6L after the swap. You may see/hear one or two addtional items in the vid that help her move along.:P

I'm saying your buddies RC is a 6speed truck vs a QC auto.
Driver error in the RC is great compared to a push the gas to the floor QC.
Thats why the QC outran the times of your friend.Just driver error.
Other than that the RC go go a decent bit faster than that QC did in the video. :judge:

I love this guy. Yeah it would be easier to just push and go. The problem most drivers of the RC SRT-10 is that it isn't hard to miss 3rd when your placed under pressure. Most owners fix that little problem with a shifter upgrade. I have experienced that problem quite a few times, and I can tell you guys it's embarrassing. My first time was going against a WS6 Trans Am. I was pissed and for a week and went after every WS6 I could find to redeem myself. As for the traction situation I had that problem once during my first encounter with a Lightning. I basically sat and spun while he bit and took off. I was catching up pretty fast until we ran into stand still traffic. Oh well. Surely the redeeming began after that, but has ceased since I have gotten over finding out what she could do and would rather just enjoy the ride.

Ok, now I see what you mean. Yes, he had a 6 speed and he said it was hard to launch. 5K rpm and drop the clutch and he said it still bogged.

good run. Not bad for either truck!

good thing it wasn't PINKS or else there would be another Dodge on the market. lol
