Ram SRT-10 Guinesses Fastest Prod Truck!
As in the june 04 issue of Truckin'.
The record run, which recently took place at DaimlerChrysler's Chelsea Proving Grounds in Michigan, on Feb 2, 2004, outran the Ford SVT Lightning's top speed of 147.54 mph, (set last July) to achieve a 154.587-mph blast, an average of two passes over a flying kilometer, independently certified by the Sports Car Club of America. Piloted by Brendan Gaughn, a six-time winner in the 2003 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Now for a lil devil's advocate, this run was in Feb and the Ford's was in July. Colder air is more dense. Just as dense as Ford's run in July. With a 7mph lead im pretty sure that the difference would be a bit smaller, If both runs were done in identical conditions.
