I"ve nver run mine on a strip yet... the first one was an R/T with a wicked-sounding exhaust who tried to muck with me on 75 at 190, and we both took the ramp west, with me on his ***, he couldn't go thru it fast enough, and when we hit the straight, I pulled on him from about 75mph... the second was the same place, but the R/T was behind me, and couldn't keep up on the ramp, and yet again pulled him from 75 on... and the third was a couple of kids who tried to play car tag with me, on 190/tollway, and I pwnd them as well--then we stopped in a parking lot and talked tech for a while... 
It's good to see young people taking interst in American iron...

SRT-10 aint really a truck for trucks' sake
So what's the point of buyin a truck that has no capacity for towing, a God awfully ugly front end (i mean what were they thinking) and a half-ton truck that cant act like the other ram 1500s? If I got a lightning, I'd use it as a real truck to tow my mustangs and give my bronco a rest.
