I recently picked up a truck from a board member. Truck needed a lil work to get it running right due to a set of ported heads he had put on. Here is a overview of my thoughts on the trucks so far.
Looks - Not a singe truck on the road that is sexier than a SRT 10! I've owned lifted GMC/Chevy trucks, lowered Chevy trucks, Z06 Corvettes, Camaro SS, Pontiac Ram Air, and this truck gets more attention than any of them. Very happy with the looks of the truck, they did a good job on it.
Interior - I love the looks of the 04-05 interior. Only complaint up to now is the shitty cup holders! lol You put a drink in there and it is coming out. The seats are Awesome, although the large bolster makes is a lil trick getting in and out without putting alot of wear on it.
Engine - The Viper motor makes killer power! Has a broad powerband and pulls hard for a 5100 lb sled. They layout is good, making it easy to work on compared to the LSx based stuff I'm used to. I'm just a lil big to crawl in there and and pull the intake too many times!
It is a lil gas hungry, but it is getting 13.5 with a aggressive city/highway mix and I'm perfectly ok with that as it is worth it.
Handling - The truck handles great. It does ride a lil stiff compared to the new GMC truck I'm used to, so that is taking a lil getting used to. The steering wheel seems to have a lil dead spot in it. It isn't real bad, just noticed it due to the bad ass rack and pinion system in the new GM trucks. This takes some getting used to for me.
Brakes - Holy shit! Easy on these bastard or you are on the damn dash! Touchy.........touchy! But when needed, they haul the beast to a stop better than I think my 03 Z06 did!
Overall...............BAD ASS TRUCKS guys! We are very lucky to own a truck that no other manufacturer had the sack to build! Hats of to the Mopar guys!
