Well guys, I was at the Goodguys Car Show this last weekend in Pleasanton, CA. I was the only Ram SRT-10 there. Of course there were a ton of L's, none of which would even give me the time of day!! I tried to get one to race me home, but the guy was a complete jerk!!! Gave me a thumbs down when I reved my engine... What a butthole, anyways I did meet one L owner that was way cool, saying there is "no comparison" between the 2 trucks!! Anyways, just wanted to let you guys know, if these car shows come to your town you need to get your trucks in there, I had more people looking at my truck then were looking at the vipers! I loved it!!!

Anyways, happy motoring!

The Goodguys are in Indy this weekend. Maybe I'll run mine out there. I entered it in a smaller show last weekend and you guys are right, they do get lots of attention. But there were NO L's at this show Oh well, guess I'll have to wait to hear that tinge of jealousy in their voices.

Absolutely true! There are plenty of L guys that are good. Then, there are plenty that aren't.

BTW, Last Friday night I went to a couple of Ford Dealers - looking for a used SVT Focus (because I need a beater). At BOTH Ford Dealers the Salesmen were surrounding my truck, sitting in it, and opening up the hood. Nothing but compliments, and this was before they knew why I was there! One Salesman went as far as saying 'F--k that Lightning, this thing is awesome!'
Personally, I still like the L's, very much so in fact, but I like this truck even more.

HDVIPER, Yes the Goodguys is a great car show; but I missed it this past weekend. I don't have an SRT-10, but I do own a Lightning. I see you are in my area; I'd like to see your SRT-10 sometime. I also know a good mechanic in Pleasanton if you are looking to do mods.

anything with a viper engine is always cool man.

I had a Chevy salesman say the same thing to me about the SS. But then again, that's not even a good comparison.

Might head up to Indy later today.ThankSS for the heads up.

Blackflash, We should definitetly get together. Do you know of some places to race around here? Or how about a place to get this thing dynoed? Let me know. Thx.

 

[Blackflash]

HDVIPER, I’m sure we could find somewhere to race LOL. But it would be better to go to a track. I would suggest Sacramento Raceway they have a Sat night racing called Grudge Fest. I think this would be fun. Besides getting some ¼ mile numbers on our trucks we can line up and see how the performance compares with these two bad a$$ trucks. Its $35 and I think we will have 3 passes at the ¼ mile. You will need a SFI approved helmet and a drive shaft loop. The grudge fest is this Saturday and then again on July 10. Or there is wed night fun drags that are June 23 and on the 30th. There is Infineon Raceway but is just bracket racing. For the Dyno, Modacar auto accessories in Livermore Ca. is the closest.

Not all L owners...

That sucks that they didn't show any love. I personally think the SRT-10 is an amazing truck and I would love to drive one sometime. I have always been a Ford guy, but there's no way a sane, reasonable human being couldn't be impressed with the SRT-10. I mean, it's got a Viper motor in it for God's sake!

I kinda like the quad cab version with the automatic tranny. Talk about the best of both worlds.

Great trucks guys. Remember, not all Lightning owners are jerks. Just the ones with small "members".

Thanks alot 2003, I appreciate that. Some people are just plain jerks anyways, including some SRT guys. If you are ever in Northern Cali, look me up, I'd love see your truck, looks like it is pretty badass as well!!!

Hey' I'd love to see California some time. Especially northern California, Orange County, L.A would be cool too. Someday.

However, at the current gas prices, it would probably cost me 4 grand to get there in the Lightning!
