World's fastest production pick-up truck

[stunninglyAsian]

The Dodge Ram SRT-10 unleashed its Viper power today, taking its place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the "World's Fastest Production Pickup Truck."

Only recently off the Saltillo, Mexico, assembly line and not modified in any way for additional power or enhanced aerodynamics, the Dodge Ram SRT-10 posted a two-lap, both-directions average speed of 154.587 mph over a "flying kilometer" on the 4.71-mile oval at the DaimlerChrysler Proving Grounds here in Chelsea. The record run by the Dodge Ram SRT-10 was certified by Guinness World Records and the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). The previous record was 147.54 mph, set last July by the Ford SVT F-150 Lightning, before the Dodge Ram SRT-10 went into production.

"When we set out to develop the Dodge Ram SRT-10, our mission was to create the ultimate performance truck," said Dan Knott, Director, Street and Racing Technology. "With 500 horsepower, sports car-like handling, world-class braking and race-inspired design appointments, we know we reached our goal. Setting the Guinness record today simply confirms that, and solidifies the Ram SRT-10 as the ultimate -- and fastest -- performance pickup."

Oh...you mean I still haven't answered your actual question? That is: why wouldn't a person buy a sports car?

I dunno...because he might be an idiot?

Well, because:

After racing around like some race-car-driver-wannabe, a person can hall a load of bricks and two-by-fours and shit, afterwards. :rolleyes:

or you could just buy an audi and eat a sandwhich.

I don't get it but it sure sounds funny. :smile:

When I had my 89 Nissan Sentra, I could afford a to eat a hogie.

A reference to me.

...though...I almost never eat in the car.

I used to. Had a habit of scarfing down breakfast while driving to work -- horrible McDonald's or 7-11 crap, but that was a different time and, more importantly, a different car.

Plus, it aint safe.

Wonder if there are people who talk in the cell phone and eat in the car at the same time. :rolleyes:

[mrazntre]

especially when you're also talking on the phone.

And smoking a cigarette while you're changing the CD.

After the 2004 Ford GT destroyed the 2004 Dodge Viper, its only fitting that Dodge extracts its revenge on the Ford SVT F-150 Lightning. So how much does the Dodge Ram SRT-10 cost?

I used BIG WORDS! :biggrin:
