sorry if its a repost

 

500 Hp and the Idiot only turned out .4/10's faster time than i do.
and I'm no where near 500HP.
I would have been imbarassed beyond all get out.
and I even had a POS trans when i made that run.

 

It sounds like he just couldn't drive to save his life....and an M6 ain't no fun to try and drag race either if you can't even hit third gear reliably

 

if i drove that crappy i wouldn't write about it! not impressed at all with that guys driving. i mean, i know kids who can barely drive make that truck do better than that.

 

Prime example of a douche bag with too much money. this guy should be in a economy car where he belongs.

 

there was a guy out at baytown a couple of weeks ago with a brand new striaght off the show room floor SRT/10. and he was turnin 13.5's totally bone stock.

 

I saw one up close for the first time the other day parked behind a restaraunt. It was in one word MASSIVE. The wheels, the height, the ground effects and especially the front end. Standing in front of it was like standing in front of a semi or something - the regular Rams already look huge, but this thing has the cowl hood w/scoop and a gargantuin (sp) bumper cover - it was clearing the small curb by a few inches, if that.

When a regular Ram parks next to me it makes my truck look like a s10 - a foot taller then my truck at least - the SRT10 just looks twice as big in the front. In a way it looks good but to me it almost to big to work as a 'sport truck'

But the interior and overall quality looked top notch, which I guess it should be for 50k

 

Couple things about that article...

A) that guy cant drive

B) Palmdale is a shitty slippery track

C) I run a second or so slower there than at sea level

D) That guy cant drive

E) How bout he not label drag racers as ignorant or as taggers?

 

They should have put a beefed up automatic with a 3k stall converter in that truck. Trying to put 500 hp & 525 tq down with a crappy long throw 6-spd is probably to hard, to much feathering of the clutch.
