The faster you go, the more you'll pull. Launch well and shift well and this race is yours.

You should have him beat pretty badly.. They run about 13.4's in the 1/4.. I smoked one on the street, but my car runs mid 12's in street form and low 12's to high 11's in drag form..

Like the SRT-10 Ram or just Ram with the old V-10 engine.

I was willing but I think they are going to back out (**** talker). With mods listed below my best 1/4 is 13.09 sec (with drag radials) at HRP. Still practicing the launch. Of course I haven't told them my time.

so which v10 is it? the srt's with stock 22s are terrible at the track, if he has some slicks it might get interesting. does it have a reg. or quad cab srt10?

Ill have to do some lookin but i thought that they did high 12's wioth those. Definatly not worth gettin money involved wehn a race is that close unless you got money to burn. GL man

Edit: did some research and it appears that the car mags get 13.5 out of it adn that good drivers get it to go up to 12.7. I know that with my SS i got 13 flat with totally stock car adn the tests that all the mags did said 13.7 area. So i definatly think it will be a drivers race. GL man

There's a few guys that have hit 12.9's. But thats very rare, most likely expect some high 13's depending how long the guy has had the truck.

I've see a time of 13.2 at 107 from one mag. They're extremly difficult to launch but once the tires hook lookout!!

It is a quad cab with the viper V-10. Stock wheels (22's). I don't know a whole lot about dodge, turns out the guy is a ***** (*******) and wouldn't race me anyway just flapping his jaws. It's like he thinks he's better than everyone. If it does happen I will post up.

there was one at the track i go to and he was running low 13's in the 1000. it wasn't impressive at all. 500 hp doesn't mean anything if you weight 5000 + lbs and have no aerodynamics at all. ive seen a vid of a turbo hyundai excel smokin one on the freeway.
