Guys, this happened a few weeks back, and I thought I might post this here too..

We were on our way home after going out to dinner, and I pull up at a stoplight behind a SRT-10 (Viper 8.3L 505ci V10 engine) 4-door Dodge Ram and my girlfriend is like "WOW, a SRT-10?" (I had showed her a SRT-8 Cherokee a few weeks back, she really liked them..) Anyways, I pass him and get stuck at a stoplight up a ways, and he pulls up next to me. I looked over and he was just staring at us.. I take off like normal up to about 10 and so does he, and then he hammered it, so I did too.. We raced up to 90mph and I had about 1 1/2 cars on him... I really didn't pull on him much until about 65mph. My first encounter with a SRT-10, and I was actually quite surprised I faired that well with my basically stock automatic Corvette.

345HP > 500HP

I just did a little research, and I guess these things run a 13.7 @ 103 1/4 mile time stock.. (4-door)

Here are a few pictures I got on my camera phone after:

I hate to be an ass.... but you do realize you raced a 4-Door truck and still barley outrun it right?

Sounds like its time to mod the Vette. Don't want any close calls.

srt 10 trucks are about as fast as a srt 8 charger/magnum. they just heavy sob. I have been thinking about buying one even went up to the dealership and test drove it. I think i am leaning more towards a charger though.

I drove over to Olathe Dodge thinking my car was great.
I went for a test drive in a Charger SRT-8.
I almost fell asleep driving my car home.

Atleast I look good everyday when I'm at the gas pump! haha
