Some friends and I were leaving a local strip club last night when I noticed a red SRT-10 prowling around the parking lot. So, being completely sober, I pulled along side him and gave the obligatory, 'nice truck.' So what did he respond with? heheh.... "Man, I'll seriously smoooooke that Lightning."
that's exactly what I was hoping for...
So I follow him out to the interstate where we trade 135+ passes for a few minutes before we get off onto Shadeland north for some stoplight action. I wondered a couple things after I put a couple car lengths on him from a dig. First being, "I wonder if he is upset that a nearly stock (4# lower w/ predator tune) Lightning just picked him off w/o ever being pushed to wot. Second, I wonder if he regrets paying nearly 50 grand on a supposed 500/500 lead sled. hmmm......
So yeah, I don't race much on the street, but SRT-10's are supposed to be the baddest trucks around. Having the oppertunity to prove otherwise felt pretty good.
*note*
It was kindof risky to push the truck hard w/ the outside temp being a bit below 55F. There are several stories around NLOC.net about guys destroying their modded L's in cold weather. The most I ever pushed was maybe 3/4 throttle........anything more and it started pinging a bit.
