This week on Regular Car Reviews, It's a 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 Viper review! This is the world's fastest production truck, and it can be yours. The fastest production truck ever made is a big title to live up to, but the Dodge Ram SRT-10 Viper has somehow managed to remain the performance truck of all performance trucks. But is this wild combination of a Dodge Ram and a Dodge Viper really the type of truck that truck guys would like? Is it the type of car that performance car guys would like? Join Brian for a test drive and a discussion about all the pros and cons of this one-of-a-kind, exceedingly rare truck. Watch as RCR reviews the 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 Viper!

When I was little we had a neighbor who reviewed cars. He would come home in Ferraris and corvettes and all sorts of fancy stuff. But one day he came home in one of these. My dad asked him how he likes it, and he responds by ripping a block and a half long burnout and says: "it's got a small traction problem"

@TheCharleseye Жыл бұрын

But...is it _really_ a problem when that's what the truck was built to do?

@quillmaurer6563 Жыл бұрын

Come to think of it, I could imagine this setting another record for production vehicles - the fastest burnout. The highest speed at which a vehicle can spin the tires on dry pavement. This probably has the highest ratio of horsepower to weight on the drive wheels of any production vehicle, and I'm sure doesn't have particularly exotic high traction tires. And we all know that spoiler don't do shit, it's only there to say "You aren't supposed to use this 'truck' as a truck."

I would be getting on the highway and people would automatically pull out to pass me as soon as we got on the highway (because, don't want to be stuck behind the RV... fair enough) but then they'd fall back behind me, because I could accelerate faster than them and get up to cruise barely after clearing the merge. Of course, it also got 10MPG. Didn't matter if I was driving fast, driving slow, fully loaded, pulling a trailer.... always 10mpg.

This is the same formula Chevy used to create the 454SS, but with actual effort involved. Not just the V10 out of the 2500, but the Viper V10. An actual 6-speed manual. Actual suspension work to make it handle. Ford had to slap a blower on its 5.4 and still couldn't get within hailing distance of this thing. Total beast!

@P71ScrewHead Жыл бұрын

Sure, but Ford never had to try hard to outsell Dodge n Chevy, so that's the reason why Ford always uses smaller engines vs those other 2.. Example 4.6L 2v vs 5.7L n the 5.0L vs the 6.2 n 6.4L.. Low compression engines vs higher compression engines.. Now the Coyote uses higher compression but back then Ford didn't.. i think sales trend caused these changes, these 3 car makers get together n decide how they plan on moving forward.. Probly why they got rid of the other brands, less to negotiate..

@Bryan_Jake 2 ай бұрын

I can vouch for the limiter on the older 6.2 SVT Raptor as mine was removed when tuned many many moons ago.

Potential failures I don't care to examine.

This would be another reason the record might not ever be beat, similar to the Hayabusa's record. Early '2000s Dodge (and even Dodge now) are the sort that would rather have you sign waivers and include a meeting with an estate lawyer in the purchase price than put any sort of limiter on their over-the-top madness. Other companies like Ford, Tesla, and so on would try to hold a more "sane" reputation. The limiters could be disabled and go faster than this one, but - like post-Hayabusa motorcycles - once that's done it's not "production" but "modified," thus leaving the "production" crown untouched.

Missed opportunity - discussion of the precession of the simulacra - how the real is evacuated by signifiers, such that all that is left are signifiers, and these can be mixed and combined. The SRT10 is like Fishy Crackers. There's nothing fishy about fishy crackers except the shape, and it's a cartoon.

A buddy of mine's sister had a boyfriend back in like 2008 that had one of these monstrosities. I had a '78 El Camino at the time with a heads/cam/11:1 pistons L33 aluminum 5.3 and a T56 with a 3.89:1 9" and a bunch of suspension stuff and other goodies. We raced, and I won, but barely. We let each other drive each other's rigs and raced again, and I can't imagine how it was that close, it was downright dangerous, that thing was all over the place until the top of third. Just a crazy machine, super fun.

@@Rescinded_Rainman The V8 Supercar ace cranked out a maximum speed of 277.16km/h in the stock-standard Maloo, but his entry in the Guiness World Record books is a two-way average to eliminate any wind assistance.

Dodge: Sticks the 840hp demon engine in a current ram, Calls it the "Hellhound" and gives it a 170mph top speed citing "we broke our record because nobody else would". You're welcome Dodge. But let's not pretend GM couldn't stick twin turbos on an LS to make 1000hp, then stick it in a silverado/sierra and call it the Helldorado.

As someone who's had countless flight hours in a j3 cub with both franklin and continental engines. And extensive time in a steerman. Which is the radial powered trainer biplane used in ww2, i can say that your description is accurate. J3's are smooth and its a wonderful plane. But steermans are smoother, rawer if thats even a word, more powerful, and viscerally engaging. Its a different animal and i love it.
