Srt-10

Re: Srt-10

SRT/10's feel and sound quick...even start up like a performance truck should but they are heavy and 2WD. Those two things work against them every time when lined up against an AWD performance vehicle. I had a SRT/10 in my garage for a year...really fun to drive but I hated pulling aside a gas pump and am quite happy I got rid of it when I did!

Re: Srt-10

Actually, I never said the SRT-10 runs a 12.5-12.7, I said that they have run 12.7-12.9@107-109mph in bone stock condition and I kindly showed you links with proof which you chose to ignore. YOU then went on the defensive and said the Syclone runs 12.5's stock, then YOU decided to spam 20+ pages on Streetfire. Is that why you had to change your screen name? Heres the link http://videos.streetfire.net/video/SUPERCHARGED-F150-VS-NA_134046.htm

that's quite pathetic. :shakes head:

I have no doubt that is possible with a good driver and the right conditions. :tup:

Re: Srt-10

For what it's worth, here's a link to a road test summary:

http://www.caranddriver.com/content/download/100689/1306173/version/1/file/CD02_SRT10.pdf

0-60 4.9
0-1320' 13.6@105

If that's what Car and Driver did on a prepped track, a Sy would bury one on the street. How many people can launch a 5100lb truck with 500whp/525wtrq through a 6-speed manual consistently on the street? My guess is very few.

How many can make a well running stock Sy run a solid 13 on the street? Anyone with at least two feet and one arm.

My guess, those Car and Driver tests are done w/ some of the best drivers.....obviously trying to market those numbers so I will sell my Sy and buy their SHIT!! Show him WTF is up for all of us!.............................:myclone: :friends: :myclone:

Re: Srt-10

Not once did I insult the Syclone, I gave it it's proper due, I'm not here to troll or bash your trucks or members. It seems allot here are "in the dark" about the true performance of the RC SRT-10, and some aren't and are pretty fair when comparing the two trucks..

I have seen one or two SRT-10s at the track and they were in the high 13s. I own an SRT-8 Magnum so I am definately not a hater. I'd bet on a stock syclone vs a stock SRT-10 on a dragstrip, but I wouldnt suggest a Sy play with a SRT-10 on the highway...

Hawaii eh? I am currently in Haleiwa on vacation. I hear the track shut down and so most are out on the street again... You in town?

Re: Srt-10

One word....elevation.

What elevation was the guy at when he ran such low times in the SRT-10 truck?

The problem with comparing these two trucks is that elevation matters alot to one and not so much to the other. So to compare a forced induction vehicle at high elevation to a naturally aspirated vehicle at high elevation is putting the na vehicle at an extreme disadvantage and obviously it won't impress.

I'm not taking sides, I'm just saying compare the trucks on an equal playing field before saying the SRT-10 is slow because you raced it at 5000 feet.

Im not sure I agree with that. When I take my truck to higher elevation it is severely affected. We are at 6000 feet and when I go to Breckenrdige, which is at 9000 feet, my truck is a pig. SRT10 Rams have been seen here at our tracks running high 14's in stock form.

So if your truck (being a turbo vehicle) is severely affected, then imagine a Naturally aspirated vehicle at altitude. How does your truck run at 6000 feet? Have you ever compared it to sea level? I'm just curious. All I could find really from searching around alittle bit was that NA engines tend to lose 3% - 4% HP with each 1000 feet. So if that is the case, you are no longer looking at a 500hp truck, it's more like a 380-410 hp truck.

Of course, the turbo vehicle would still lose power, it would just seem that it would be alot less of a loss since turbo is cramming air into the engine rather than pulling in thin ambient air.

It would actually be kind of cool to see some dyno comparisons or track times from same cars at different altitudes. I'm searching around, I'll post if I find something..

Re: Srt-10

When my truck was bone stock with the exceptions of hotwired shurflo, my best time was 14.8. Never dynoed. Persoanlly, I dont think the difference in loss between na and fi is all as much as everyone thinks. Ild bet money its VERY close if not the same.

There is a little physics problem with your assumption. There is a very good reason aircraft engineers pioneered the use of turbos, superchargers and Nitrous Oxide.

Maybe maybe not, all I can say is that I noticed a horrible power loss when I went higher in altitude.

It's pretty basic, right? There's just less air. Flying a helicoptor for instance...at real low altitude the blades cut through/grab a lot of air and you can feel the pwr and response when flying....at high altitude the chopper can't grab as much air, hense less responsive, less pwr, harder to fly.

Re: Srt-10

Here is a video of a stock RC SRT-10 running a 12.98@108mph 1/4mile. It's the very last race on the video. http://media.putfile.com/Bad-Track-Outings

Here's a video of the guy who ran a 12.74@109mph running a 12.9 on his very first pass ever in the truck, although the time is not shown, he did run a 12.9. He's racing against a newer Chevy 6.0 auto with a progressive dual stage 250 shot and on full slicks. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/First-pass-new-SRT10_20721.htm

All stock down to the paper filter, stock rubber, stock everything they do run in the 12's, IF you can drive good. The guy who did the 12.74 lives in Texas. Theres a bunch of guys who ran 12.9-13.2's regularly in bone stock trucks on our forums. Even the Quad Cab SRT-10's run 13.5-13.7@103-105mph in bone stock trim with a good launch.

Here's what a RC SRT-10 with traction does to a Lightning, it has slicks, traction problems I guess, but everything else stock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94v-F_7sXMA&feature=user

Here's Truck Trends comparison of a RC SRT-10 vs. Ford Lightning
http://www.trucktrend.com/roadtests...ford_dodge_truck/specifications_overview.html

MotorTrends 2004 truck of the year testing the RC Ram SRT-10 did 0-60 in 4.8seconds. and cleared the 1/4mile in 13.1@107mph http://www.trucktrend.com/oftheyear/truck/112_0402_toytest/performance.html

These specs says 12.9@106mph
http://www.pickuptrucks.com/html/autoshows/naias2002/dodge/ramsrt10.html

I've shown allot of this to TxSy1430 aka Syclone1430 but he chose to go on a spamming rampage.

Like I said this is just to back up what I say, theres allot more proof if needed. I say the SRT-10, Syclone, Typhoon, and Lightning are all bad azz trucks.

Re: Srt-10

I'd also like to add that I have much respect for your guys trucks, however I just really can't stand people bashing any brand out of sheer ignorance, if it was someone bashing Sy's and Ty's on any of the other boards I visit I would stand up for them as well.

This looks like a pretty cool forums with some very experienced and talented members, lots of good info here and I gotta give props for some absolute monter builds. :tup:

I would guess the 12.7 run was at a negative DA.

No actually it wasn't.

Please post all info on the 12.7 run.

 

[05SRT10QC]

Re: Srt-10

Please post all info on the 12.7 run.

What do you want to know? I know he said the run was about 2 years ago when he first got the truck and I'm pretty sure it was the pass after this one if I'm not mistaken. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/First-pass-new-SRT10_20721.htm

As far as the truck it was an 04 RC SRT-10 that came stock with only the 4.10 gears, stock tires, stock intake and exhaust, bone stock everything.

I remember reading that the camera died shortly after this run but the cameraman and a few other members were there witnessed the run. I could go and try p.m. the guy who ran the pass for the details if you still can't believe it though he's not online right now and I don't know how long it will take him to respond......

If I'm not mistaken you can clearly hear him shifting, and he just plain rips at it. His gas peddle does not come off of the floor till he crosses the finish line and he powershifts each gear perfectly. Which is not easy to do with the stock hurst shifter...

 

[05SRT10QC]

Re: Srt-10

I'm looking through some old threads for you.....

From his words, the runs were somewhere in Houston, 12.74@109.xxmph, 2.0 60ft. mark (other members have consistantly run 1.9 @1.8 60ft. marks with thier stock trucks). His is an 04 that only came in 4.10 gear, the 05-06 came with 4.56.

His best time to date is after being modded with a drop in K&N, catback, and a tune is 12.5@112mph.
