In the discussion of really fast pickup trucks there is no way to exclude the mighty Ram 1500 SRT10 and this week – we look at one of the fastest Ram SRT10 regular cab pickups in the world. In the video, the claim is made that this is the fastest Ram SRT10 when it was posted more than two years ago but the discussion in the comments reveals that this truck is now running in the low 9 second range so this is very likely still the fastest Ram SRT10 in the world. (Technically it would be the quickest based on drag strip runs as “fastest” generally refers to high speed trucks not drag trucks.)
This video shows baseline runs made at Speedworld Dragstrip in Arizona by a Ram 1500 SRT10 regular cab packing a Viper V10 engine modified with a massive turbocharged, a nitrous setup and a serious set of sticky rear tires. Other modifications are unclear from this video but it definitely sounds like the standard 6-speed manual transmission has been swapped out for an automatic transmission – although that doesn’t make this video less impressive.
As you can see from the video, the driver of this Ram SRT10 is playing around with launch techniques – some of which don’t work very well – but on the better runs in this video the super quick Ram easily runs in the mid to high 10 second range. The best trap speed (a great indicator of power) is 133.02mph while the best ET is 10.50…although the trouble on the starting line shows that this truck is capable of way more than mid 10s. The comment that the truck is now sniffing the 8 second range doesn’t come as much surprise considering that the truck was running mid 10s two years ago with some obvious launch, tuning and suspension issues.
Crank up your speakers and enjoy this video of a turbocharged, nitrous injected Dodge Ram SRT10 regular car in action on the quarter mile!
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
