houston dodge deflated my ego:(

i was on the feeder on my way home. i saw a black rcsb ram daytona on the freeway cruising pretty good so i thought this was my chance to test my new motor out
he bit and from 80-85 which is a 3rd shift for me(sucky), he gave a good pull on me up until around 110-115 where he would let out
his rear bumper was ahead of my front bumper about a foot or 2 by the time he would let out. ive only been pulled once by a hemi truck that bad all motor but that is a buddy of mine (he runs 12.6's on spray but he ran me on motor) and i was still with the 5.3...thats badblackhemi on this forum btw.
anyways after being stumped for a minute i remembered i didnt see that goofy looking stripe on the back of the truck! did i just race a srt-10?
i got on google and searched it up and sure enough the srt-10 looks almost identicle to the daytona. that spoiler threw me off...but im not 1000% sure that there was no stripe so i was hoping i could find the member on one of the truck sites. it all went down on 59&bw8 on the north side of houston. anyone know who it was?

SRT-10's have 22 inch wheels - those alone are hard to miss and easy to spot...I'm sure the dodges can debadge that stripe, so it may have resembled an SRT-10. I can't imagine your stock LS1 hanging with a 500HP truck up to 110mph though.

ok so...i dont know why i kept saying rumble bee...i meant daytona. the spoiler made me think it was a daytona from far away. i did a google search for a ram daytona and it looks like they only make that truck in either orange or silver. that leads me to beleave i either raced a srt10 or or a rcsb hemi that threw a wing on for looks. i really wish i could figure out who it was to figure out what all is done. heres a pic of a daytona for those who never saw one
i really didnt pay all that much attention to the wheels and bodykit. i saw the spoiler from about 100yds away when it passed me and jumped to the conclusion that it was a daytona. i also want to say that the spoiler didnt stick up as high as the spoiler in the picture of the daytona. it was dark outside and it was a black truck and my windows are tinted way too dark so i didnt even get a glimpse of his wheels or body kit. i was also on the left side of the race so my passenger door covored all the details.
there was no hanging with him...he got the jump and had a good steady pull all the way up to wherever we shut it down. he didnt straight up rape me but he did beat the **** outa me lol.

I would say high 12's is pretty impressive in a truck that weighs 5200 lbs. That calculates to 479 hp at the wheels. Im not sure how that doesnt impress you. You might be thinken about the guys that have a hard time launching with a low profile 22" tire. I think anyone would have a difficult time controlling 500+ tq in a manual trans truck with no sidewall. The guys that are able to launch are seeing high 12's. Those with slicks are around a 12.5
