Arrow Corvette vs. SRT10 *PICS*

We were on our way home from dinner tonight, and I pull up at a stoplight behind a SRT-10 (Viper 8.3L 505ci V10 engine) 4-door Dodge Ram and my girlfriend is like "WOW, a SRT-10?" (I had showed her a SRT-8 Cherokee a few weeks back, she really liked them..) Anyways, I pass him and get stuck at a stoplight up a ways, and he pulls up next to me. I looked over and he was just staring at us.. I take off like normal up to about 10 and so does he, and then he hammered it, so I did too.. We raced up to 90mph and I had about 1 1/2 cars on him... I really didn't pull on him much until about 65mph. My first encounter with a SRT-10, and I was actually quite surprised I faired that well with my basically stock automatic Corvette.

345HP > 500HP

I just did a little research, and I guess these things run a 13.7 @ 103 1/4 mile time stock.. (4-door)

Here are a few pictures I got on my camera phone after:

They are def. quick for trucks, but not really a match for a C5 vette. Great kill

Good kill. Those trucks are pretty sweet. No match for a vette though

A guy I use to work with has one of these trucks, we were arguing about who would win a race between me and him. He gave me some bull about his truck running 10's in the quarter, and his truck is stock. That's just to funny.

They're powerful trucks but they are heavy. I beat a 630 rwhp srt10 2door twice when I was bolt ons only and a tune. Once from a dig, once from a 20mph roll. Don't be scared of a truck racing from a dig or a low mph if it's on street tires.

Talking

I can pull on the vette pretty hard in my firehawk.. I'm pretty sure I would have embarrased him if I was in my firehawk

2 doors are 6 speed, 4 doors are auto. other than that, they're the same.

Im pretty sure the 2 door versions have ran 12's bone stock and mid 13's is the norm..Defienty a match for a stock Fbody in the 1/4 mile..

But at 120 mph and above they get slow fast..However they can still hit 155 mph though

I'm pretty sure they still do make these trucks, because I could have sworn that i've seen one before with the newer style front end..
