This is not the kind of Ram SRT-10 you will find at a dealership. An automobile is only as good as how well it is kept and maintained. This one is kept and cared for immecably by a true automotive enthusiasts AND is covered under the full factory warranty. I have personally inspected this vehicle for Body Condition, Chassis & Suspension, Interior Condition, Engine Operation, and a Test Drive Evaluation and found no discernable flaws. She presents as she is, a well cared for nearly new vehicle.
It seems only fitting that the world's fastest production pickup* have the world's coolest paint job. So the design team at Dodge went wild and created the 2004 Dodge Ram SRT10 finished in "Arrest Me" red. This limited-production model takes the incredible performance of SRT10's 8.3-litre, 500-horsepower Viper V10 engine and wraps it all in some of the brightest red paint you'll ever see.
This future collectible also has a number of other special design features that make it an instant classic:
- 22-inch polished aluminum wheels.
- Special numbered dash plaque.
- Aluminum centre stack bezel.
- Aluminum door spears.
- Stitched leather steering wheel, seats and Regular Cab manual transmission shifter.
- Functional Viper Ram Front Air Dam.
- SRT-10 Rear Spoiler.
Like all SRT-10's she also comes dressed in white-faced gauges, drilled metallic pedals, a Hurst shifter and leather/suede sport seats.
The SRT-10's clutch is heavy, similar to that of an old muscle car, and the 505-cubic-inch engine rumbles and shakes the cab with as much mechanical noise as there is exhaust burble. As much brawn as there is under the hood, it's surprising how little exhaust noise there is at idle and low rpm. However, find an open stretch of road, drop the Hurst shifter from fourth to third, nail the gas pedal and suddenly it sounds like the truck is tearing a hole in the sky. With nothing less than purebred racecar urgency, the Ram jets forward like it's being shot out of a catapult, pinning the driver to the seat. Handling is tighter than you'd ever expect in a truck, and the brakes are fully capable of reining in the SRT-10's prodigious power. Here are the stats:
0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds; ¼-mile times in the mid-13s; a 60-to-0mph braking distance less than 120 feet; and, get this, a top speed 150mph.
Those figures place the SRT-10 in the same performance stratosphere as such notables as the Acura NSX, BMW M Roadster, Camaro Z28 SS, C-5 Corvette, Ferrari 456M, Jaguar XJR, Porsche 911, and the Lamborghini Countach. Go ahead, try to find one as nice, with low miles, priced like this. She's the one to get into your garage.
