I SOLD MY 04 QC hEMI 4WD FOR A 04 SRT-10 RAM. i hope it was a good move. Any opinions? Any simple mods without touching the integrity of the v-10? tHANKS

 

Wow, Enjoy your new ride. Can you post some pics for us. Did you take a financial beating trading in an 04 ??

 

I don't know anything about mods for the SRT-10. I just know I want to see pictures of yours!!!
Enjoy the ride, I know I would!

thanks everyone for your response pictures are on the way!

 

Not to bad on the financial beating. They gave me 1000 less from what I owed with taxes included. The payment went up but I figured you only live once what the hay! The dealer was so happy cause it had the thunderroad package and its common down south were I bought the truck and not up here. He didn't have 1 on there lot and they are a pretty big dealership.

 

How many miles did it have when you turned it in?

Don't you just LOVE the SRT-10?! I'm so excited for you!!

when Ik turned the other truck in it only had 500 miles. I love both trucks sad to see the hemi go but also like the srt-10. I work from home so do not drive much. How come the Ford Lightning with 5.4 supercharged engine is rated the same 1/4 mile time 13.6 with around 350 hp and my truck is only 300 pounds more with 500 hp and runs the same time? Does anyone know?

 

I believe the Lightning has between 380-390 HP, but HP is nothing if you can't get it trasnferred to the ground. The Lightning may have a better suspension setup than the SRT-10. I'm not really sure though.
