94rt, i do know there are some quick ones, but they have do be done right, and most are owned by some what older guys. its just when you see the teenagers and early 20's when theyre all riced up and make an awful loud noise but go nowhere....
exactly those loud things **** me off....sounds like a big dog barking with no bite....yea i got that once someone pulled up and was like "dude your truck is smoking bad when you left that light, you might want to get it looked at" i said to him a what you mean this...held the brake mashed on the gas real quick and he was on my passenger side too, so he got a load of smoke in his face, i'm just glad i was in the turning lane and the light changed...lol....then you get the other one's that love it and ask you to do it again...there's something magical about that cloud of smoke.....damn mmstar, look what you did you got me missing my baby...i posted a pic of her earlier in this forum like page 3 or 4....i'm gonna cry....lol i'll give the 10 up right nw to have that beast back!

Hey now, i'm 19 and have quite a few friends with hondas, toyotas, mitsubishi, nissan, etc. Most of them which would smoke a truck. Some of them are in the 11-12s, and my fathers supra would beat a vette in reverse

diesels fun dude and you know it, but you got yourself a fast girl right there so you shouldnt be complaining to much. but i do recomend you get back into diesel while keeping your SRT when the funds allow for it. im working on getting rid of my ram and buying a CTD asap as many of the guys on here know ive been trying to do that for awhile now lol....sooner than later... your truck was pretty though...

bro i'm 25 and just got rid of my diesel...i love the 10 but hated it at the same time til i got that tranny issue 1-2-1-2-1-2 fixed....the 10 is fast and my only reason for keeping would be that it may be a collector truck in the far future since they are not made anymore and never will be again! But there is nothing and I mean nothing like the torque and power that you get in a diesel...i'm not sure about the cummins but that PSD used to whip through the gears like no tomorrow..it has the strangest but most satisfying shifts since most rev out at 3500 rpm....man o man do i miss the diesel right now....1 day i will do it again..maybe a dodge this time! i miss letting that thing spool up and ripping the tires off that truck..everyone as amazed that it could spin 37's like that, the other sound i miss is the flap that opens and closes in the intake and flaps when u let off the gas!!

thanks sweet SRT. i love that srt as well and can understand why you kept it. not many fully understand what a diesels potential and capabilities are until they have owned one that has a lot of power. i have yet to build a cummins, but i know a lot about them and theyre suppose to kill PSDs so thats something within the next year or so im going to have to put together for myself and see. ive always been a dodge guy and will be buying a ctd and will be holding onto it for a long time. sorry to make you miss your diesel so much man lol. and btw, i just realised your in ft lauderdale. i have a house in plantation and in coral springs..

damn you don't live too far and i'm usually out that way....so when you see me riding around give me a honk....lol.....yea no one knows about the diesel potential until they own one and especially chip one....i hear the CTD are supposed to handle power upgrades way better than PSD and if I was to get a PSD again it would only be a 05-07 year...my 04 6.0 blew head gaskets and egr cooler 3 times....forget about the 08-09 6.4L they just plain suck...you can;t do a single thing without the computer bitchin to you...lol but def hit me up when you see me around....i'll let you check out the 10 hell you can even drive it, if you want to....
