lightnings 3 srt's 2

I did, however get to run an 04RC and 06RC this weekend on the highway from 40 and 60 and had no problem taking them. The 06 being a hair faster I think honestly. He started earlier and I was playing catch up.

No problem taking the '04 RC? It was 1 & 1, last I remembered.
1st run- I clearly won
2nd run-I missed 3rd and went into 5th
3rd run- you missed 4th and went into 2nd, when I looked in the rearview mirror your front end looked like you had slammed on your brakes.
4th run- You clearly won. You have more mods and despite your weight reduction your truck is probably still heavier than mine, you can drive the hell out of that thing.

A friendly tie breaker is in order next time :rock:

Thanks sir for the compliments! Of course we can have a tie breaker

Anyone have video of that run?

It must have taken place in Mexico

Wide open 3rd gear shifts into second are fun to watch, no matter what country they are in!

When a any QC spanks any RC, it cuts deep. I feel your pain. I seen 1BADTRK's tail gate every race last track outing:reddy:

It's not something I would go around telling everybody that's for sure. I stand a chance from a roll, I wouldn't even try it from a dig

I haven't even tried to launch it once.

Sissy

He's a great guy Jerry, we just need to mod him and his truck a bit and he'll be on kill setting for any Lightning they throw his way
Well, most of em anyways

No, no video of that run, it was kinda spontaneous

It must have taken place in Mexico

Indeed it did, close to Galveston, bwahahaha:dontknow:

Yeah except when you are on the highway and 4 1/2 hours from home. Saw the tach backspin to 7000

I might have done that once myself. If I would have, it might have smacked the rev limiter once before I got clutch back to the floor. Hypothetically speaking, if such a thing would have happened, I might have had a buddy in the passenger seat and the look on his face would have been priceless.

Not that my truck has ever been subjected to such shenanigans...

Problem is when the engine is over-revved from an improper downshift instead of upshift, the REV limiter WILL NOT WORK Luckily it never missed a beat. One day I need to change valve springs and pushrods anyways

Mine never saw over 6100, hypothetically.

Bwahaha!

The mere thought of revving my engine to that kind of RPM makes me cringe....

You should try it, they sound pretty good wound up that high

I knew I should have put the winky face. I have done it several times and yes they do sound great.

I used to shift at about 5800. Then I backed it down to 5500. Now I shift closer to 5200. No use wasting the midrange torque that 8.3 liters builds. Having said that, I bet a 7000 RPM Viper engine would sound amazing!
