Default Had to put a Dodge Ram SRT-10 owner in his place

These guys are very proud of their trucks. They just need to remember that they are 1500 pounds heavier. I was outside changing my battery and this guy stops in front of my house and yells out the window "come on, lets go". We found a short stretch of 2 lane. We went from about a 30 mph roll. We raced for about 1/8 mile and I was about 2 car lengths ahead of him when we let off. First thing he asked was why I shifted to neutral...I had to explain that I had a 3500 stall and the car downshifted when I hit it. He had a Dynomax 3" catback...Still sounded like a pissed off V6 though. He said, "your car was loud", got in his truck, lit the tires up and left. Man I love this ****. You know, when it's all over and you a shaking and all pumped up.

Good kill on the viper tank. I'd gladly take one though. I'd just be smart enough to know it's place.

fast for a truck, but not fast enough for 90% of Ls1's out there...

I don't necessarily agree. The Viper motor has more potential it just cost a *** load more to mod them.

Nice kill

I am still waiting to find one on a lonely stretch of road... Only seen 2 in my area so far and they are always going the wrong way.

What kind of HP numbers do you have to put down in an LS1 to beat or hang with one?

Kinda surprised at everyone throwing around truck names that are fast, and no one mentioned the Syclone .
