After leaving the gym this evening I'm exiting out of the parking lot and see a black SRT10 truck drive by. I dont see alot of those in town so I catch up to get a better look and realize it has paper plates so it's a new owner. He finally see's me rolling next to him and he gives me a nice big thumbs up and I return one to him as were still driving down the highway we both look at each other, grin and point ahead of us and wait for a clear stretch of road and at this point were going 60mph so he slows it down to 30 so I'm like okay sure why not I kick it down 2 gears to 3rd (mistake) and honk it off, he gets the jump on me (I should of put it in 2nd) but it only takes a quick shift of the jeep and I'm pulling, passing and walking away so we slow down and he wants to go again this time we go at 40 and I let him honk, I bump it down to 3rd and wait for the third honk and hit it down to 2nd and easily jump and pull ahead and notice he backs off pretty quick. We pull over and I found out that HE JUST GOT IT TODAY!! At this piont I feel horrible and could tell he was like WTF just happened and you could tell he was kinda sad about the whole thing so I spend an hour with the guy talking about why he lost and so on to make him feel better and he goes into the story that he now feels like the sales guy lied to him about the power of the truck and so on. I tell you guys I really, really felt bad for doing it and now wish I had not:(

no its not... !! POOR dudes ego just got stomped on... it sounds like he wasnt a full blown car enthusiasts b/c he needed the dealer to tell him about the truck... im sure the dealer told him it was the fastest truck on the planet... AND than the first day he get crushed by some jeep suv with big shinny wheels...

didnt they stop building those srt10's? or did he buy it used... ?

Wade, if the owner of the SRT10 was a girl I would totally understand why you feel that bad, but being a guy enjoy the kill bro! Heck you should have told him to go back to the dealer and trade it for a jeep SRT8 lol :D.
Bro, don't feel bad, he had 2 more cylinders than you.
Ohh one more thing... You spend an hour explaining to the guy why he lost to our jeeps? What's wrong with you Wade :D, it should have taken you less than a minute to get the point across :D.
Good kill, bro! Congrats!!

Nice kill. Next time he'll think twice before racing a Jeep--any Jeep. :D I can just imagine how gun shy he is now. He'd probably back down from a race with a Laredo if he found himself beside one at a light. :D

He bought it used but had low miles, very clean. We chatted alot about the differences between the 2 with weight being close I told him his gearing and heavy wheels/tires just dont do well from a roll. Seriously if you guys could of seen the look on the guys face you would feel bad as well, imagine coming home from the dealer with your new jeep after your swelled head finally got in (LOL) and run something you think you should kill and get your azz handed to you wouldn't that take the feeling away you just had.

Those SRT10's are slow. I'd definitely take one over the TBSS though. :p Nothing to feel bad about.

Don't feel bad for the viper truck dude. A set of pistsons and a $5000 STS turbo kit on it and he's making 1000 horsepower easy. They're much more mod-friendly and tunable than the jeeps are.

Nice kill bro don't feel bad. Everyone underestimates the power of the beast until they are already in the rear view and by then it's to late. The reaction that people have on these rigs when we blow them away is priceless

Good luck getting traction in that viper truck with 1000hp:p

just put a ton a mulch in the back :) or get some concrete blocks!

if you have 1000hp... i doubt it would be a DD... at least i hope not... so you could do some suspension work:)

Exactly!! All 1000hp would be good for in one of those trucks would be a world record burn out.

Yeah anything can hook with enough money thrown at it. I'd rather have a quad cab viper truck since they are automatic.....TT that beast and throw some huge meats on the back and a big stall converter in it. That would be a fun truck and have room for 4.

This beast is 1200rw:eek:
