Looks like those SRT 10's are gaining some ground.

well i would hope for that kind of cake to run 10,should be that fast from the factory. i would rather build my own truck for less money to acomplish that time. not that i am hating on all dodges but that doesn't show me nothing.in fact i own a pro street dodge of course it's chevy power.

Just curious, what are the nasty things about Henessey that your guys are talking about? All I know is that he builds really exspensive vipers. If I had that kinda money I would skip the turbos and mount a jet engine in my bed, 10,000hp should get me into the 10's

it's kind of interesting how much of the stuff about him is gone now? i wonder if he somehow got his name cleared and the stuff was taken off the sites? or something else? there used to be a lot of articles about his alleged shady business practices on the web.....

i am impresed, i know the price is up there but you could do the same turbo set up for $5k if you fabed it up yourself.

they are running 10's and from the vid it looked like only 12psi. not sure how strong all those parts are but it could easily have a lot more in it.

Gee, tell us how you really feel.

I know it cost a lot of money for that truck, but I'm willing to bet that if I had that much coin lyin' around I would do it too. I wouldn't go Henny's route, but I would definatley push that truck to it's limit. Why not if you have the money!?!

I wonder who was driving, because shifting a car and especialy a truck into the 10's is impressive driving.

I like the SRT10's, but a extra 45,000 for a Turbo setup is insane. I agree that driving a truck or car in the 10's is impressive.but I would be embarrased to tell anyone that I spent 85,000 in a truck. Hell for 100k, I would rather have a 360 Modena, or a 911 turbo at that price, plus they hold their value a lot longer.

I wonder if he paid back the people he owed $$$$ to before he undertook this project?
