Default Dodge SRT-10

Are the new SRT-10 trucks out yet? Because I swear that I seen one on the way to work this morning. It was black, huge wheels, and a spoiler on the back. The bed had a hard cover.

The guy passed me and rev'd a couple of times as we were slowing down for a red-light. It was about 5:30 this morning, and there was no traffic out. When the light turned green I took off from idle pretty hard while feathering the clutch and hooked pretty decent.

When I shifted to second, I spun a good bit but let it go. By the time I was shifting to third, I guess he had already backed off as I was ahead.

I didn't know if it was a real SRT-10 or not as I pulled him pretty solidly.

Anyways, it was a good looking truck. The wheels were just massive and the scoops on the hood looked very good for it's body style.

They are out, there is one at a lot here going for 80k.

To the untrained eye, a 'rumblebee' can look like a SRT-10.

I know there is quite a stir with the Lightning fans. I don't read the Lightning forums too much, but I hear there is a lot of buzz about the next one coming out.

Ill take a Mustang please, i cant stand hot rod trucks.. Trucks are ment for hauling and pulling. A Drag truck is dumb in my opinion.

The new lightning is suppose to be pushing 550hp is what I read. It is also redesigned and the styling looks awsome to me. We had an SRT 10 run at our track (reminder: our track here sucks) and he ran a 14 flat and a very high 13. I guess he was to imbarrased to stick around. The problem with those trucks is they were so intent with the Viper motor that they forgot all about the rearend and getting traction. He was spinning terrible off the line.
