Today i got a chance to see some of what an SRT-10 could do. This is the truck with the 500 horse viper v10. He was coming up on me, i was cruising at 80. So i got out of the way and let him pass immediately recognizing what that truck was. So i got behind him cruising between 90 and 95mph. then there was this fairly long hill to climb. he went WOT (i think he downshifted the truck into 4th gear or it might have been 5th- are they 6spds?)- i heard the distinctively loud howling grunt of the v10 hustling up the hill. i then decided to help push him up the hill we both got up to about 110mph before we had to quit, but to my surprise he was not pulling on me. the truck was wide open, and i was just 2 car lengths behind him in 4th gear and actually slowly pulling up directly behind him going up hill. i couldn't believe my SC would do that. i think it was more like he didn't know how to drive it, because there's no way that a mild modded SC should do this. this is a 500+ ft lb viper truck that i was pulling on- maybe i imagined the whole thing, but that engine sounded like it was WOT or very close to this to me. Had he dropped it in 3rd, i don't think he had enough rpm to support 110mph and pull harder. Plus the truck is a few hundred pounds heavier than the SC. That's my take on it.
