4 owners since new If you fire a 12-gauge shotgun packed with 00
buck, you'll get a sense of what it's like to pull the trigger on a
Ram SRT-10: a loud roar, followed by a cloud of smoke, and,
suddenly, heavy metal flying through space. The only difference is
that this truck's Viper-sourced V-10 firepower, good for a
5.2-second 0-to-60 run, surges smoothly at your back and not
abruptly against your shoulder. Dodge's Performance Vehicle
Operations group has created more than just a tire-melting,
500-horse cargo bed in search of a chassis. The Ram SRT-10 is a
comprehensively well-matched 5150-pound performance recipe that
turns a short-bed, standard-cab Ram into a sport-truck-cum-Trans-Am
racer. Installing the Viper's 8.3-liter, OHV, aluminum V-10 into
the Ram's platform is philosophically straightforward, as the truck
is factory-offered iron-block V-10 in HD form. Getting the job
done, however, required numerous detail changes, including a
revised intake system, oil pan, mounts, and cooling revisions. The
only transmission offered is the same Tremec T56 six-speed manual
used in the Viper. Steering-rack response is crisp, and there's
braking muscle to spare in the form of 15-inch front rotors and
14-inchers in the rear. Viper power requires a massive tire-contact
patch to be remotely useful. So, in the interest of "usefulness,"
Dodge fitted the SRT-10 with steamroller-like 305/40R22 meats. We
were prepared for the shaking and chassis booming often associated
with oversized rolling stock and its barely manageable unsprung
mass. But the suspension tuners at PVO have worked some magic. The
ride, although not luxo-car smooth, is firm and not at all
uncomfortable on good road surfaces. The only serious
suspension-related edge is some rubbery chassis shudder on bumpy
roads, where the laws of physics regarding minimal wheel travel and
big-tire inertia won't be denied. Key to the truck's surprisingly
obedient behavior: Bilstein shocks, shorter and stiffer springs, a
rear anti-roll bar, a new front knuckle design, a two-inch
ride-height drop in front, a 3.5-inch rear drop, and an effective
traction-bar system. The result is a big, fast hunk that does what
it's told. The SRT-10 spent some valuable aero time in the
company's wind tunnel and learned a few lessons from Dodge's NASCAR
Craftsman Truck program, too. Up front, a deep fascia with a
splitter reduces lift. Out back, a rear wing reduces drag and adds
up to 165 pounds of downforce at track speeds. This truck also has
a color matched fiberglass bed cover over a rhino-coated bed. The
bulging hood, nonfunctional scoop, and rear fascia with dual
exhaust cutouts are unique to this sporting variant. Inside, you'll
find softly stuffed but sharply contoured grey and black leather
buckets with "SRT-10" logos stitched across the backrests. Looking
sports-car sharp is a carbon-fiber leather-trimmed steering wheel.
Behind the wheel is a full complement of large and easy-to-read,
silver-faced gauges including a 160-mph speedo and a 7000-rpm tach.
Dodge claims the truck will do 150, so that speedo's none too
optimistic. Aftermarket stereo and rear seat speakers compliment
the interior. These trucks are hard to find! As always, we will
