Hey guys/gals,
I just purchased a silver '05 QC SRT-10, and it will be delivered to me on Wednesday this coming week. I'm pumped about it! It is bone stock with 6100 miles on the clock.
I've just been here a couple of weeks, and all of you really helped me out with some of my questions...when I was contemplating the purchase.
The primary reason for purchasing a QC is that it will allow me to carry more people than my current truck, which is a low-12 sec Lightning. I know most of you probably can't stand Lightnings, but I look at it like this... without the Lightning, Dodge probably would never have built the Ram SRT-10, so we should at least thank Ford for providing the niche to create some competition.
Most likely I will not mod my new truck too much, as it will be my daily driver, although adding a 5psi Roe blower would be awfully cool for a little extra punch. I figure the very least will be a CAI and Stage 2 tune. I understand the QC's benefit greatly from a reflashed PCM, so that sounds like a good, easy mod to do.
My current list of vehicles is in my sig. I am planning to sell my 300C (which is a really nice car, BTW) since the SRT-10 will take the place of the Lightning and it. I may get another hot-rod to mess with (GT500 or used Viper) to fill the garage space after both of those vehicles are gone.
I've been a hot-rodder for the last couple of decades, since I graduated from college. I never leave anything bone stock (except the wife's vehicles... she just shakes her head), and have spent a lot of time building forced induction combos and tuning EFI stuff (Ford/Chevy to this point). My first hot-rod was a '90 5.0 Mustang that ran mid-10s in street legal form for a long time...then I just got to the point where my kids were getting bigger and I just wasn't racing much, so I sold it.
I've owned a Gen 1 Lightning, a Gen 2 Lightning (since '99... I've had a '99 and an '04, so I've driven one of those trucks for the last 9 years), a '96 Cobra, a '98 Saleen S351, a '69 427 Corvette, and now the vehicles you see below, including an '02 Z06 with a Lingenfelter twin-turbo package on it (11.2 @ 138 on radials with 4 passes on it).
I'm excited to be a part of this community, and I sincerely appreciate the warm welcome I've been offered to this point. I look forward to learning a lot about the Ram SRT-10 from you all.
