i ran one at freeway speeds when i was under 1000 miles on my car , we were dead even .( with top down and wife riding shotgun ).
And from a dig , unless conditions are great SRT10 will just sit and spin with all that torque . If you see him again go from a dig , ill bet you'll do just fine
Hmm.

I have driven one twice, no probelm hooking up. Forget about hanging with it off the line.

The S2000 is basically 1 full second slower than this truck in the 1/4"

no, but they hit 13.0 regularly at the drag strip.

s2k's very rarely will post a 13.7 or 13.8 stock.

9 out of 10 runs you will see 14.0+

Anyway without splitting hairs, the RT/10 is much fater than the s2k when both cars are in the hands of amatures like us.

all i have is CAI. i would imagine the truck would top out faster on the freeway, but as for that night he got me. an 8L has got to be puttin out some amazing torque.


i was thinking, if a 6000lb viper (basically what the truck is) can pull on me, does that mean a real Viper could tow my car faster than it could move on its own?

the VIPER is BRUTALLY Fast. 3.5 0-60 and 12's in the 1/4.

It doenst have a tow hitch though :-)

No replacement for displacement

Where do you get that 3.5????? Everything I've seen is in the 3.9 range. As for quarter, some have broken high 11's stock.

There's a huge difference between a 3.9 0-60 and a 3.5 0-60. Huge. A 3.5 would put a viper into Murcielago territory
