Hello here from Michigan (mid-west part of the year also)
Just wanted to say Hi and I look forward to all the info and good times on the VTCOA.com website. I'd love some input on you general feeling abuot the RAM SRT-10. I'm from some various 700-1153 WHP dometic and imports over the last 6 years. Obviously everyone here likes the trucks so a little more then "It's great!" would be appriciated. I needed a new DD as my Shelby GT500 is now a full time drag car. It seems I keep buying things, keep them for 5-6 months and start building them. Usually after a year and a half they no longer are reasonable to be a DD. I decided to make a change from the norm and keep this truck as my daily driver. I realize the platofrm is great to build a very fast drag "truck" however i've decided I really only want to make thsi thing a bit mild and really keep it as a reasonable DD. I'm picking up a silver 2005 SRT-10 (2D 6 speed - no thanks to the auto with all that extra weight) with 35,000mile today for $18,000 from a local guy here. Truck was checked out on car-fax and had a tech go over it for me, passes with flying colors. I realize the trucks are fairly fast stock but i'm going to need a little more grunt then what it's packing. (I'm guessing the stock number is around 417 RWHP?). If im aiming to keep the truck N/A and looking for a 575-625 RWP number i'd assume that can be done fairly easy on these motors? I'm new to the Viper platform, i've had a lot of Z06s over the years but never found my way into the Viper. I'm guessing with $10,000-$20,000 I can get myself a nice 650RWHP truck without sacraficing my DD ability? Anyonehere have a 500-700RWHP truck they use as their daily? love to hear soem input. Thanks again for anyone that replies and I look forward to good times. (Apologize if the post is stupid, I had these damn intro things)
PS: Anyone from Michigan,Texas or Utah? Currently living between Mi and UT and will be moving to Texas for abuot 14 months first part of the year.
