I LOVE IT

that truck is gonna kick some MAJOR ass, I can't wait to own one and bust some Lightning ass. i'm trying to find out cost on it right now, and hopefully will be able to get one within the first few years they're out.
oh... did I mention that I LOVE THAT TRUCK!!!!!

the cost wont be out for a while yet. its not even out of the concept stage yet. it probably wont be till 2003 that we get any hint of a cost. I am guessing $42K

what links have you found for info on the SRT? I've got three

Thanx

I have made my own website for it. you can either click the link in me sig or go here http://www.tcnj.edu/~mikulet2/syty/srt10.html
there are some links at the bottom as well as a link for specs i have gathered towards the top. enjoy.

has anyone heard anything new on the RAM SRT10 ?? I haven't.. and I'm really wanting to stay on top of this, I asked the dealer that my mom gets all of her business vehicles from, and I knew more than he did, so I'm hoping someone knows somethin new

I heard from one of the RT guys who works at a Dodge plant said that one of the test vehicles has been having major mechnical problems, bascially the drivetrain cant handle the HP in such a heavy vehicle.
Thats all I have heard...

well thats sucks.... cause I really want one in about 5 years (after all the bugs get worked out, and I may have enough money saved up to do it) I hope they get it lined out... anybody got any clue how many cats are on it, or anything like restrictions that have been placed on it??

Just wanted to say hey, I'm new here. And I am losing sleep at night thinking about how I can afford the SRT 10 when it comes out!:D

hey boogyman, are you on DTO (www.dodgetrucks.org) also??
your truck looks familiar... and I love the SS/T's

No, I'm on Moparchat alot though.

Edit: I just signed up over there too! Can't have too much truck info!

How heavy are we talking? The Viper weighs about 33 hundred pounds.

the Ram SRT-10 is estimated to weigh around 5000 pounds. hopefully will be a little less.

Are you serious?????????? The Susburban weighs about the same and it's the second biggest SUV on American roads.

the Gen 1 Lightnings weigh in at JUST under 5000lbs..... and they were the FASTEST trucks on the road from 93-95.....

so admitedly the weight is an obsticle, but that engine is ALOT of the weight.. the Vipers have carbon fiber bodies (I think)

That engine is heavy but I'd say maybe 1500 pounds or less and I mean JUST the engine and nothin more. I'm sure you know this but the thing has aluminum block, heads (I think) and cast Iron liners.

they are slow as helllllllllllllllllllllllllll.......haha

fullsize trucks that is.......

the sy's and ty's kicked ass, but they are nowhere near fullsize... I think I've heard them called GO-CARTS before:confused: .... is that the correct term for them???? :D

j/k....

but they are fast for their weight, I respect them quite a bit, they are FULL of power.. just have to find and relaease it.

well, full size or not, my Ty weighs 4000lbs and I dont consider that light either, especially not for a V6....

you also have to remember thatthey have that one MAJOR downfall wrong with them..... they're that 4 letter word that starts with an F that your mother tells you not to say..........

FORD


j/k all you ford guys out there.... just kidding around

as far as price on this AWSOME MACHINE it will be competitively price with the lighting so i think that $42 k is kinda high especially since the lighting runs from 32 to 36

no until ford jacks the price in a few years when they "change" some things, or so ive heard...

First Post Here on AF... woohooo...

Anyhow, the Ram SRT-10 is, from what I have heard, is not going to be competively priced with the Lightning. Dodge is saying thats its in a completely different league :D. We all know the base price is 18,000, a slt plus, which is their stylish truck (1500 forward cab/SB) is running in the mid to high 20s... Hell you can get a lightning for that. But with new mods, especially the new engine, I'm guessing that its going to be at least 40,000, going up to mid 50s... Damn 40 would be nice.

Anyhow, I'm sick of modding my Ram so much just to get pissed off again and again at the line. Its time for a new truck :)

welcome to the board, and welcome to last year. I think everyone already knows the truck will probably be in the $42,000+ range, thats nothing new.

NJTy180, i was replying to SRT's comment... there's no need to be an ass :cool:

Ever since I saw this truck at the Detroit auto show, I fell in love. I now have something to save for. hehe. This truck will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine. I cant wait to test drive one. Now if only I can talk my dad into corporate leasing one. Too bad he can't drive a stick.

BTW, this is my first post, happy to be on the forums. :finger:

i know i'm kind late in a response but if you think about it...the main reason that the viper is so cheap is cuz there is a previous car to use as a base, its a new car (so to speak) but the srt 10, just like like the lighting, will be based off of an existing vehicle therefore cutting cost down dramaticly...i mean think about it, ford builds a F-150 sends it to SVT, SVT does their work then releases it....Dodge and PVO will be doin the same thing with the Ram 1500 so their for it will be in the same range as the lighting
