Default Drove an SRT-10

Dad and I went to the Dodge dealer saturday after working for a bit to drive the SRT. I drove it, dad didn't really care much to drive it. Different sound of course but it sounds really nice. Runs well, very quick truck. Steering was tight and the brakes were great.....really felt like it would handle real nice. The only thing I didnt like about it is that the clutch was very very soft. I like some resistance, but this clutch was very soft. Made it easy to operate it just felt mushy. It is a Viper clutch so it is stout, just the pedal tension wasnt as stiff as I'd like it. My truck went to the body shop this morning to get repaired. I am still considering trading it in when it gets done, but I am starting to have second thoughts. My Denali is over halfway paid for (I owe $23k on it) I am starting to think that I should just ride it out and get this truck paid for, then later down the road pick up a performance vehicle of some sort. The SRT is nice, but it lacks SO much of the Denali. AWD, quadrasteer and towing capabilities are the biggies (I'd miss the heated seats too! lol). We will see......but I am starting to think about just paying the Denali off and getting another vehicle later. Id be right back owing $40k if I got the SRT...that would just be pointless dont you agree? Thoughts......

I bet the SRT 10 would be fun to drive. I drove a V10 with an Automatic
and it would fry the tires. I am very happy with my GM products and would
not trade my old 2000 Sierra for a new SRT10 unless I could sell it and buy a
new GM. I bought a new Dakota V8 and have had several Dodge products
including a Cherry 1970 Dodge Challenger big block 4 speed, and would not
go back to a Dodge or Chrysler product unless it was and old muscle car.
Compare resale value on Dodge vs GM.

srt 10 is a really nice truck. i am not a fan of the 6 speed for drag racing but overall a great package. definately an eye catcher! way overpriced, but so is the viper.

Just pay off the Denali and start modding it. A blower or turbo will fix any HP envy you might have right now.

plus youd have the satisfaction of it being one of a kind... to an extent. Those Dodges are badass, but Denali's have the interior that chicks like

Plus since the truck is paid off you won't have a car payment anymore and you can afford to take the chickies out to a REAL dinner instead of McDonalds! LOL

What was I thinking trading my GMC for a dodge? I've decided to stay loyal to the LS1 based GM products!
