Re: Srt-10

it's all in the driver.. i mean it really honestly is... i'm thinking about buying an S10 to go racing with throwing a 454 in it ... and there no sence in the nose in the air routine i mean it's a truck.. if there are guys doing that to you then they are stuck up and you shouldn't want to talk or bull$hit with them... i get it all the time from mostly chevy guys around Waco where i live lol :rotf: i just feed off of it and when we line up at the strip or on the street i let it all hang out there

Re: Srt-10

I'm not sure about the track but they are VERY finicky to launch on the street. The clutch band overheats quickly if you slip the clutch for traction and bites quick to ignite the tires if you engage it under throttle too quick. Any Syclone with a novice driver can easily take one in the 1/4 on the street. The track may yield a different perspective but the result should still be the same. The SRT/10 feels quite healthy above 25-30 MPH and you'd never think it weighs 5,000 pounds the way it pulls. What I didn't like was seeing the digital readout reflect 2.8 MPG under full throttle.....and that is NOT a mistype .

Re: Srt-10

Can someone tell me if im wrong...but wont a stock Sy beat a stock SRT-10? I've been talkin to some ass clown that swears the SRT-10 is the Quickest production truck...I told him the SRT is fastest. He says the SRt does 12.5-12.9 in the 1/4....STOCK...of course I said your full of S__T...am i wrong...

Thanks,

Hello, just wanted to first off say that I have enjoyed the respectable conversation that most have here...its not often you find that with "internet racing".

If we are discussing the "Quickest production truck", are we talking about 0-60, 1/8, 1/4, or overall fastest (top speed). I think some might be basing it off of 1/4, and other about fastest (top speed). I think the sy is faster 0-60, and 1/8. But I do feel (IMHO) the 1/4 + top speed would be SRT-10 Viper Truck.

Having owned the SRT-10 Truck, it is a (rolling-race) monster; definitly not a off-the-line vehicle like the sy , srt cherokee, etc... Hell, the sy would beat my viper in a 0-40 off the line race

Re: Srt-10

How do I know? Cause I read a thread that they were talking about the temps. Exact DA? Dunno was a while ago I read the thread. Grasping for straws here?

Grasping for straws, what the hell are you babbling about? I simply said I would guess the 12.7 run was at a negative DA, and you said it wasn't. I asked what the DA was and you said you didn't even know. I'm curious to see what the DA was since the fastest runs are usually at the lowest DAs. What's so hard to understand about that?

BTW, is this the same 12.7 pass? http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24752

The thread that they were talking about the temps made it pretty clear it wasnt a negative DA, however they do say it's a good track, as for the exact DA I honestly don't know. I would venture a guess that it was a pretty low DA though, takes some real good waether to make certain tracks -DA. From the threads it seems the track is somewhere in Houston.

I don't think it was the same truck since allot of the info is different or wrong. The guy who made the pass was in his own truck, no cai, his 60ft. mark he said was 2.0 which is just bad azz cause if he got a lower 60ft the e.t. would have been quicker. He does have a L and a 10 sec cobra however.....Almost certain his truck doesn't have nitrous on it as well. Last I seen (other day) it had a SCT tuner, drop in filter, and exhaust and he did a 12.5@112mph. If you look at the vid it looks pretty cold but not too cold for traction.

I do know of one video of a SRT-10 running in a negative DA, the truck is not stock however. Reflashed ecu, k&n, and exhaust 12.7 if you want to see it, this is a quad cab SRT-10.

Re: Srt-10

The 60 is what I can't grasp. I will admit I dont live at the track but when I do go, I pay close attention to what guys are doing. I see Turbo T/A's, Modded SS's, C5's, etc etc, that run those 60's with drag radials./ I just can't grasp how a 500hp truck with a short bed, 22" wheels and a standard trans could pull that off. I will have to keep my eyes out next time i go to the track. There were three SRT10's there last time I was there and all of them ran in the 14's, best was a 14.5. Maybe I went on the wrong day. Oh yeah, the guy who drove that truck that deserves all the props is #1. It would be nice if we got some props once in a while. Usually I get the nose in the air routine.

It's the 525lbs ft. of torque man, some guys really make it look easy, this vid is of a quad cab, the RC should be even quicker. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/SRT10-QC-versus-a-Harley_14332.htm This guy knows how to hole shot his truck.

Just for the record a 14.5 is a horrible run for any SRT-10 lol, even the quad cabs run 13.5-13.7's. If you don't know how to launch it 14's is what you get though. With good track prep I'm suprised how well the tires hook.

Your vid of you racing the SRT-10, was that in the rain? Looks like the road was pretty wet or is it just me? Good kill anyway, like I said not all drivers are equal hehe.

Re: Srt-10

I have had several 60's in the 1.8-1.9 range. The video listed above is mine. Here are some others. Only mods were Programing, K&N intake and Borla Exhaust on stock tires.

12.7 Run http://videos.streetfire.net/video/SRT10-QC-doing-a-127-run_14329.htm

12.8 Run vs. GTO on slicks and skinnies. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/SRT10-QC-Vs-GTOVideo-has_23168.htm

Time slip showing 60's. Second slip was after I added the turbo and it was the first time at the track with the Turbo. Even with the Turbo on stock tires I cut a 1.9.

 

[hamrhead]

Re: Srt-10

i think hammerhead on here went to atco and did a 12.8 stock most srt8-10s do 12.8-13.2 stock if you can drive

Stock for Stock, assuming the SRT Driver can launch and shift, he'll win in the 1/4 mile. But he'll be playing catch-up most of the way.

Anything shorter like the 1/8 mile, or a red light on the street, the SRT is gonna see GMC tailgate.

Mine definitely could, but it wouldnt. I like looking at Vipers too much to pull on ya too hard ;-).

12.7 Run http://videos.streetfire.net/video/SRT10-QC-doing-a-127-run_14329.htm

Comparable mods on my Syclone; chip (up the boost), intake, exhaust, fuelpump, regulator, and such got me down to 12.4 @ 107.

I have a neighbor with an extended cab SRT-10. I need to see if he ever ventures to the track...

Re: Srt-10

i have owned both and still own an srt-10 rc.

the sy is a beast from a dig. the srt-10 is best from a roll. when i had my qc srt-10 i raced the guy i bought the sy from and from a roll he saw taillights. from a dig i would run him down around 80-85.

but little did we know what we thought was a vacuum leak on the truck was actually a down cylinder( low compression in #1, it was 65 psi when i had it checked)

still i would eat mustang gt's from a dig in the sy. now a good race would be the srt-8 grand cherokee angainst the sy. both in stock form. i miss my srt-8 jeep and am a complete fool for trading it in, especially on a h3 hummer. oh what we do for our women.

the pink doesnt let us think

i will be looking for another sy soon i hope. they are badazz :tup: :tup:\\

oh and by the way the 12.7 run was done by blaine at houston raceway park in baytown, texas which is a few minutes outside of houston.

i believe the elevation is not even 200 above sea level. i could be wrong but that is what i think i remember

Re: Srt-10

yes The SRT-10 Is The Fastest Quickest Production Truck In The World

Heres a Video of the World Record Holder
The Fastest SRT-10 In The World

Ok, I'm confused. World Record Holder for what? The thread here is about stock vehicles, and unless the SRT10's came stock with slicks out back, that video doesn't really apply to anything in this discussion...

Re: Srt-10

I still think this thread is funny. Even if the SRT10 can smoke a sy, we're talking a 500hp 500+ lb's torque 8.3 liter V10 Vs a shitty, old 4.3 v6....

The fact is it that stock for stock it can't, except in the long run (in excess of a 1/4 mile). They also are reknown for clutch issues if driven hard because the stock clutch won't reliably push 5,000 pounds down the road. Having said that, they do accelerate very well from a roll, they stop on a dime and they will smoke a stock Sy or Ty at top end. Just depends on what thrills a person. I got rid of the SRT/10 I had. Didn't like less than 3 MPG at full throttle when I could far exceed the SRT/10 performance (especially acceleration and braking) in my modded Sy at a rate of 9 MPG :tup:

you are 100% right on the clutch issue. these clutches dont hold up to well. you must go aftermarket and it is expensive

i do disagree about the 1/4 mile stock for stock. the srt should run it down before the end of the 1320'

I had a SRT/10 for over a year and on the street, stock for stock against a Syclone, they will not hook off the line to be a threat within a 1/4 mile. I am sure you realize 99% of match-ups are won off the line and inches at the start equate to yards further down the highway OR track. IF a SRT/10 could hook up with their OEM tires on the street, I would agree with you on it taking a Syclone in the 1/4 but they just can't do it. I have a couple Sy's, one of which is at 100,000 miles and still bone stock except for tires and battery. Would gladly match it up against a technologically advanced stock SRT/10 to determine a factual outcome V/S an opinionated one....on video, of course .

i would love to run you. you have a point about street tires and on the street.

but just for fun we could do it and tape it and then the facts will speak for themselves. or should i say the video will show the outcome.

either way win or lose we will shake hands exchange stories and more importantly gained knowledge, friends and facts. :tup:

i am still looking for another syclone to replace the one i had but the srt-8 jeep is at the top right now ad i am trying to close the deal on one this week.

500 HP = 420 RWHP for a 5K lb truck. The 4.3 V6 is putting how much too the ground? Yes the SRT-10 has a bigger engine but it also weighs a lot more.
