Default Dodge SRT-10 Truck.

Well I've been wanting to run one and I finally got my chance tonight.

First time I was behind him at a light. He takes off and I don't launch I just play catch up. We hit another light and he was behind me. I take off normal and motion for him to come up next to me. He gets his front end about even with my door and nails it, so I follow suit. I put about 1 1/2 cars on him by 100-110ish.

Not bad for an LS1 with a lid and exhaust.

And it was a regular cab 6 speed.

Well I've been wanting to run one for a while. I was on my way home and I saw him take a right so I went after him. I was a big instigator.

Looks like my $17K TA faired well against a truck that's over $30K more and 150 more HP.

Yeah I had a guy in a Mustang do that ****. He had a few bolt-ons (intake, exhaust, 4.10's) and after he revved his car (while I was still getting gas mind you) he waited for me.

Well I proceeded to whip his *** two times..bad. That was when I just had a lid.

what did you expect? He's carrying 5000 pounds, lol, and 22 inch rims, lol.

Some are now reporting 12s with just an intake on them. They say the clutch is hard to get use to for the launch.

Edit: Oh and it's about 50k. Way to much for the truck.

Thanks man.

A Prelude owner on a local board thinks I should've put more cars on him than that.

And yeah I know the trucks are ~50K that's why I said it cost over 30K more than my car (I paid 17,500 for mine).

I brought it up because it's funny. I'd be pissed if I paid that much for a performance truck with 500HP and got beat by an F-body with a couple bolt-ons.
