You may be quicker than my Sy on a quarter mile track slathered in VHT

:rotf: Yeah and even then who cares? I can do the same thing at the track I can do on the street.

Re: Another RAM SRT-10 down

Am I the only one finding hilarious all of the SRT-10 trolls on this forum as of late?

A video of a lightly modded Ty absolutely decimating a modded SRT-10 and another story of a Sy with a chip and exhaust doing the same. God, that must really bother you SERT guys. That SRT-10 got RAPED! Post up some vids of you guys stomping SyTys. If your trucks really are that much faster, you must have lots of kill footage.

But I guess you can always comfort yourselves by repeating the mantra “Well, our trucks are faster in stock form then yours”. Good job. That matters to maybe the 5% of this board that have stock trucks. I doubt many of them race anyway. But if they did, I’d still bet gas money that most of them would stomp your ass on the street from a dig. But don’t take it too hard. Your truck is faster stock vs. stock. Just tell that to the guy driving the SyTy when you roll up after him at the next light.

I think we are being pretty respectfull here as guests, we aren't trying to convert your beliefs about anything, just sharing info from our experience with the SRT-10. Seriously, none of us are at all bothered about a couple of SRT-10's losing a street race, but it seems you hold lots of hostility. Not sure what your trying to prove with this post cause it's all over the place. Comparing a very lightly modded SRT-10 to a more heavily modded Sy/Ty on a street race is really apples to oranges, obviously who ever has to more usefull mods is going to win.

Re: Another RAM SRT-10 down

LOL. Maybe, but I played nice for a couple of weeks while these guys trolled our forum.

You may be quicker than my Sy on a quarter mile track slathered in VHT but unless you bring drag radials and a perfect launch, you aren't going to reproduce those results against me on the street.

I've noticed a trend starting where some people think the SRT-10 simply connot get traction on the street, it's pretty funny. Just like how we adjust tire pressure, burnout, launch technique, etc. for optimum traction on the dragstrip, we can adjust for optimum traction on the street. A stock SRT-10 with a competant driver does not need drag radials.

Re: Another RAM SRT-10 down

:rotf: Yeah and even then who cares? I can do the same thing at the track I can do on the street.

What you running at the track with your mods? Looks like your Ty runs strong.

Good job on the race Rookie, like FlyingLow said they stoped making the SRT-10 in 06. Looks like a 06 quad cab you raced. Depending on which headers he is running, and if he deleted his cats can make a good bit of difference performance wise. There is no traction controll. The QC's have allot more TQ management built in from the factory, a stage II reflash (and I think also the new SCT tuner) will remove the TQ management and makes a big difference from stock. I even hear one reflash gives .3 seconds quicker in the 1/4mile than the other reflash. If he says it's pulling timing and such it sounds like he did not get the TQ management removed, if so his other mods might not be giving him the full potential.

I wish we were close so we could have made it happen but I just sold my stock Syclone and the new owner is going back to Alabama in it so it won't happen with me. Guess I'll have to exercise my muscle now with my other Syclone but it is anything but stock .

Re: Another RAM SRT-10 down

I think we are being pretty respectfull here as guests, we aren't trying to convert your beliefs about anything, just sharing info from our experience with the SRT-10.

Respectful as compared to what? You are still a troll. No, you and the two or three other SRT-10 trolls (FlyingLow, Tooloe and maybe z-man) are being argumentative. One need only look at one of the SRT-10 sig pictures to illustrate this point (that picture/caption is dumber than hell, btw).

You?ve joined this forum specifically because one of you got butthurt about someone posting a couple of months ago about a Sy or Ty rocking a SRT-10 on the street. You?ve been sharing your stock vs. stock SRT-10 information now for a couple of weeks. How long exactly will the whole process take? And how many people on this forum care? Aside from you four, I count exactly zero others.

Seriously, none of us are at all bothered about a couple of SRT-10's losing a street race, but it seems you hold lots of hostility.

Apparently you are bothered, or you and your two or three SRT-10 nutswingers never would have taken the time to join/post in this forum. Is this linked on some Ram SRT-10 forum or something?

I?m not the slightest bit hostile. I just call out BS when I see it. In fact, I like SRT-10s. But I?ve come to the conclusion that their owners must have a chip on their shoulder about not clearly being seen as quicker/faster in stock form than some 17 year old variant of an S10. And once we start modding both, forget about being quicker/faster on any level.

Not sure what your trying to prove with this post cause it's all over the place.

How so? I called you and your buddies on your BS a couple weeks after you started. I pointed out how bothered you are about the thought of SRT-10s being mopped up on the street by nearly two decade old, inexpensive and lightly modded GM trucks when in your mind, no truck beats the SRT-10.

I concluded my post by pointing out the lame and ricerish SRT-10 mantra ?well stock for stock we are faster/quicker on paper? that is being relied on. This discussion was covered on this board about 4 years ago. Sorry, you?re a bit late. Why don?t you point out that you have more horsepower per liter, half the cylinders or VTEC while you are at it?

Being faster/quicker on paper when stock doesn?t make much sense in the ?Kills? section anyway. Unfortunately for you, we don?t have a bench racing section.

Comparing a very lightly modded SRT-10 to a more heavily modded Sy/Ty on a street race is really apples to oranges, obviously who ever has to more usefull mods is going to win.

You posted in the other thread so surely you saw this:

I wasn't particularly trying to answer that question. Just showing it doesn't take much to take down a 500hp hyped up truck. At the time of that race, I had maybe 1k in to my truck in mods. The turbo was the stock turbo with a bigger wheel in it by JWaller and I had 3" exhaust cat back. The turbo I had to buy because I blew my motor and he offered me a nice option for it. I paid like $650 for that and about $150 for the exhaust. That and I had a chip.

Our trucks are how much older than yours? You'll never have an apples to apples comparison for that fact alone. You can fall back on your ?faster on paper ?paper argument. To me, how they match up on the street is a little more relevant. If I cared only about track performance, I never would have sold my 110mph trapping Spirit R/T for my Sy. I doubt you'll find too many stock SRT-10s or Syclones at the track. And we all know the outcome when the modded ones line up.

How is an oil-burning Ty with a stock turbo with larger comp. wheel, chip and cat back exhaust or a Sy with a chip/alky ?more heavily modded? than a SRT-10 with ?undisclosed mods? or one with full exhaust and chip? These are 16-17 year old trucks with stock long blocks and stock turbos. We aren't making excuses for the higher milage or years of abuse many of our trucks have taken. 1k in mods vs. how much for just a set of nice V-10 headers? What is your basis of comparison for your statement? You?re all over the board here.

Re: Another RAM SRT-10 down

I don't anyone minds is going to changed by this thread.

My take is that 50% of the stock Syclone probably don't even run right given their age and finickiness. The other 50% of the driver don't know how to boost launch properly. If SRT-10 is a good driver, he probbaly going to beat most random stock Syclone he runs into in 1/4 mile, even if he can't run 12.9's on the street. The SRT-10 is going to lose the 0-60 race, unless the Sy is really running poor.

If my Syclone was stock, I beleive would take down most stock SRT-10's I would randomly run into because most of them can't run their best times on street tires and I have seen lots of unskilled drivers runnning poor number with them.

I sure wouldn't run a SRT-10 with a stock Sy from a roll and expect a good outcome (perhaps at altitude, this would change) When my Sy hits the road this summer, it will have a bigger turbo, I am not worried about SRT-10's. Ofcourse I can lose to any vehicle if the owner pumps enough money into it. I will give them a big :tup: if they do.

Good points, Dave.

The more I think about it, aside from being a pointless argument, this fastest/quickest (paper/real world) stock vs. stock truck is also moot, given that this truck (ok, SUV) isn?t being included in the discussion:
http://www.dragtimes.com/Jeep--Cherokee-SRT8-Drag-Racing.html

With AWD, those suckers are cutting 1.7-1.8 60?s on the track. That?s the stuff of Sy/Tys. And like SyTys, I bet they can reproduce it (or very close to it) on the street.

Contrast that with SRT-10 Rams:
http://www.dragtimes.com/Dodge--RAM-SRT10-Drag-Racing.html

That?s mostly 2.0-2.2 short times on a prepped track. If that?s what they do at the track, it?s doubtful anyone is going to hook that good with a RWD Ram SRT-10 on the street. Adjusting for ?optimum traction on the street? as one person mentioned is not going to net one the same or faster times unless every boulevard in your town is covered in spent rubber and VHT.

All of those stock 12.7-second SRT-10s better upload their slips. I certainly wouldn?t pass at an opportunity to be the quickest stocker on dragtimes.com.

Good job on the race Rookie, like FlyingLow said they stoped making the SRT-10 in 06. Looks like a 06 quad cab you raced. Depending on which headers he is running, and if he deleted his cats can make a good bit of difference performance wise.

Yeah he said the headers and exhaust added 50hp. But he still laid 461 to the wheels. So if the engine is 500 hp and you add 50hp and you get 550. Thats 16% loss to the wheels. I think 20% loss is normal for most cars. So a stock RAM SRT-10 would put down 420 hp to the wheels. Is that right?

I, for one, think you have conducted yourself very well on this site. I had a SRT/10 for over a year and they are fine trucks but they do have some faults so I know both sides of the spectrum. Have had a number of Syclones over a few years and they are fine trucks but have 2 faults (weak trannies and sorry brakes). Said that to say this....they are different beasts designed for different performance aspects, yet both with OEM faults. Sure we are comparing a 17 y.o. brick to a 3 y.o. behemoth with strong sentiments on both sides. Both are great trucks within their forte although the majority of us around here like to feel our stomach touch our backbone for 10-12 seconds. Anyway, don't let the haters get to you.....they have probably never been in a SRT/10 so they can't make a educated comparison. I can, and the Syclone wins with ease .

Re: Another RAM SRT-10 down

As to what trolling really is, we have not bashed your rides, resorted to petty name calling and have shown respect in our posts. Just because we don't share your same views doesn't mean we are trolls.

You don?t need to bash one?s ride to be a troll. You are a troll not just because you don?t share our views but because you joined this forum for the express purpose of carrying the water for an SRT-10 when an actual member was simply posting a kill story. You proceeded to post a bunch of times of ?stock? SRT-10 Rams, when no one asked or cared.

As I said before, you are about 4 years late in that discussion. Good job. If there are so many bone stock 12-second Ram SRT-10s then you should advise them to post up on dragtimes.com. Go back and review your post history. I certainly did before I called you on your BS.

Any respect shown by this recent batch of SRT-10 groupies is backhanded at best. Discount the driver of the SRT-10 in the vid? the road looks wet?. Blahblahblah. Just look at the sigs of our humble SRT-10 ?guests? (now changed).

I couldn't care less if you?ve done a chrome air intake, headers, exhaust and chip to trap a Buck o' 8. 108mph would be knocking on 11s in a Sy. Good job. Hey, maybe post a full image of your time slip in your signat? oh wait, you already did. Awesome.

Your way off on the reason why I joined this forum, which I already made clear in another thread that one of your members started asking about the stock vs stock 1/4mile comparisons between the SRT-10 and Syclone. Obviously you care or you would not be getting so defensive in your posts.

Your first post on this board dug up a thread 1.5 months dormant. If someone posted something that bothered you on another forum, take it up with him there, through email or PM. Save me the SRT-10 nutswinging. I like other cars/trucks too (I'm a Ford guy at the core, Mopar being a close second). But you don't see me gushing about how awesome they are here when someone kills one of them.

Unlike you, I never denied not caring. I care not to read/deal with SRT-whatever nutswinging BS or I would have kept playing along. I think your behavior, although not overtly rude, is still contemptible. You have no interest in this forum or our trucks other than to defend your SRT-10. That really is pathetic.

That's laughable, last time I checked bashing, name calling, and your general tone in your posts are hostile. What BS are you talking about? All the numbers I have posted were true and proven. That's your choice to feel that way, we did not go parading around announcing we are quicker and faster, ever. I just stated the numbers that our trucks run and provided proof like I was asked to. In fact I have not said anything negative about the syclone or typhoon at all. Your last sentence in the paragraph is a prime example of how your posts are all over the place, and how ironic that you think we have a chip on our shoulder after that blanket statement.....

I?m not a liberal therefore feelings are irrelevant in this discussion. I THINK that way based on what I have seen thus far. And I think a lot of what you post is polite sounding, backhanded BS.

You deny ever doing what you did in your very first post, ?parading around announcing we are quicker and faster?. More BS called out:

Your first post on this forum:

Actually, I never said the SRT-10 runs a 12.5-12.7, I said that they have run 12.7-12.9@107-109mph in bone stock condition and I kindly showed you links with proof which you chose to ignore.

While that alone is no big deal in my book, subsequent similar posts prove my point (you are trolling). Acting polite and adhering to certain internet decorum does not insulate you from being a troll. You are a polite troll. I?ll give you that.

Again, what BS? What did you call? All the numbers we stated were true and proven. Your cheerleading and bashing on the side clearly shows that your the one who is bothered by all this. I told Rookie and Tytilidie good job on the kills. Never did I say the SRT-10 is unbeatable, I seen videos of stock RC SRT-10's run 15+ second 1/4miles and I seen videos of stock RC SRT-10's run 12 second 1/4miles. They are not fool proof and the driver plays a major factor.

No, you and the SRT-10 gang essentially told them good job, but ?too bad the driver mod was not included? or ?were the roads wet?? or ?not exactly stock vs. stock?. That?s a backhanded complement and BS behavior. It?s not a requirement of the Kills or Racing Your Brick section for trucks to be stock. Tytilidie never billed his as such, just a lot less modded then than it is now.

It is amazing though, that it took a couple of years for drivers to perfect the launch of a stock SRT-10 and they can now be run a better part of a second quicker (and a couple of mph faster too) in ?stock? form than what automotive magazines originally road tested them. (/sarcasm)

I concluded my post by pointing out the lame and ricerish SRT-10 mantra ?well stock for stock we are faster/quicker on paper? that is being relied on. This discussion was covered on this board about 4 years ago. Sorry, you?re a bit late. Why don?t you point out that you have more horsepower per liter, half the cylinders or VTEC while you are at it?

Like I said, we don?t have a bench racing section so I don?t know that you would have had much of a substantive response anyway. Believe me, your lack of response is no big loss.

Yet another bold "bench racing" blanket statement, so by your mentality your saying any modded Sy's Ty's will beat any modded SRT-10 at the dragstrip? Even after this statement?

You may be quicker than my Sy on a quarter mile track slathered in VHT

Your funny, and you wonder why I say your posts are all over the place?

Wow. Were my posts really that hard to follow? Let me hold your hand while I walk you through them.

Mod for mod, just about any SyTy is going to mop up an SRT-10 on the track or street. A Sy weighs 3500lbs and change. An SRT-10 is around 5000-5500lbs. When you trap 108mph and run 12.7 at the track with a 5000lb pickup a Sy with similar mph (a stock long block/turbo will go this fast) is knocking on 11s at the track and can still click off deep 12?s on the street. How may stock long block SRT-10s are in the 10s? How many heavily modded ones are in the single digits (fiberglass and tubeframe look-a-likes aside)? It?s the simple physics of weight and traction, both of which you lose in comparison. If you think I am just benchracing, check our timeslips section. All but maybe two are street driven.

I can understand your confusion in the second part of my post because you only posted half of it. Maybe you only read half of it as well. Allow me:

You may be quicker than my Sy on a quarter mile track slathered in VHT but unless you bring drag radials and a perfect launch, you aren't going to reproduce those results against me on the street.

I assume you?ve raced on both the track and the street. Which one has abundant supplies of VHT and sticky used rubber deposed on smooth cement? Which one has less surface consistency, contours that are random and many times a dusting of sand, gravel, dirt or other such debris? If you think you can cut a 12.7 on the street with street tires, you are delusional. I know I can still run deep 13?s on the street (in the decade old dry rotted tires I ran at the track) because the launch is no less violent and after that it's just shifting from D to OD at 95mph.

Wow, just wow. Where do I start with this mess.

Maybe you missed this part:

Dont forget we are @ 6000 feet up here.

Were both trucks racing at the same altitude? I?ll chalk your mention of that up to a VTEC-esque ricer excuse. If you complain that a turbo car is not affected by altitude (BS) do you also complain that AWD cars have an unfair traction advantage?

And this part

he said he had a few mods but they didn't sound like anything that would really make a big difference.

So lets see hows a Ty with a stock turbo with larger comp. wheel (that should help build more boost right?), chip (that ups his boost right?), and cat back exhaust more heavilly modded than a SRT-10 with a couple of "cheap easy mods that don't make a big difference"? Do I really need to explain that to you? Seriously? Wow.

More ricer excuses. So an SRT-10 can have a chrome air intake, headers and full exhaust, all things that help it breath better, but as soon as a turbo guy ups the boost or puts a slightly larger wheel (in what is in stock form a pathetically small turbo) he?s ?more heavily modded? by your own previous statement. Tytilidie said he had $1k in his truck. $1k will hardly buy a decent turbo and none of the other required supporting mods. How much is a tuner for an SRT-10? A set of headers? I bet a chrome air intake alone is a few hundred bucks.

And if you?ve never thought someone has downplayed what they?ve done to their ride (?cheap easy mods?), especially if they just lost or think they might lose, you are incredibly na?ve.

Ultimate Chip, 3 Bar, Meth Injection, EGR Delete, Strait Through 2.5" Exhaust, AFPR, Johnson Intercooler Pump, Heater Hose Intercooler Lines, 255 Walbro, 30 psi Boost Gauge, EGT, Cone Air Filter, Dual 12" Electric Fans. That mod list doesn't qualify as being more heavily moded than headers, exhaust, and a chip that supposedly still doesn't take away his torque management? Wow! You should quit now, while it's only the foot in the mouth, pretty soon the whole leg is going in.

Excellent job at cutting and pasting Tytilidie?s current sig. It is, however, unfortunate for your argument (whatever that is beyond carrying SRT-10 water remains to be seen) that most of those mods were not in place at the time he raced that SRT-10 (fortunate for that poor guy, though or it would have been worse). Tytilidie said so later in that thread. (http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?t=47477&page=1&pp=40 post #39)

Do your homework before you try and discount someone?s kill or before you accuse others of missing something. Whose foot in whose mouth?

This is not to take away from Rookie's or TYTILIDIE's kills, this is just because I'm simply baffled at JayLo's mentality.

And I am just as baffled by the sloppy manner in which you present your argument, by how relentless you defend a Ram SRT-10 on a Syclone/Typhoon forum and by the fact that you would be taken aback that a Syclone/Typhoon board member might be biased towards a Syclone or Typhoon.

Re: Another RAM SRT-10 down

I didn't get that perception at all from your posts. I think his beef is with JayLo (?).

No one dissed on SRT-10s. And the SRT-10 owner in the original post sounded like a standup guy.

I'm sorry if my response here bothers any of the SyTy guys on here. And sorry for hijacking this thread. I have no problem with SRT-10s or anyone on here personally. I am just sick of reading all of this SRT-10 crap from members who joined this forum for apparently no reason other than to stick up for their trucks.

I can only image that me going over to an SRT-10 forum and telling everyone how quick my truck is on the street would go over just as well. They might put up with it for a while, but sooner or later someone is going to have enough.

I just did it to joke around and to lighten things up.

Re: Another RAM SRT-10 down

Seriously I think this thread has more than read its course. Nothing we be solved, you are just cluttering up our forum.

While that alone is no big deal in my book, subsequent similar posts prove my point (you are trolling). Acting polite and adhering to certain internet decorum does not insulate you from being a troll. You are a polite troll. I’ll give you that.

Honestly I have gone into other forums to be what you call a 'polite troll' to properly represent SyTy's. Most of those forums, I could careless if I ever got banned from them (I haven't been banned yet) and I am sure the SRT10 guys mostly feel the same way. the are here to contribute to SyTy's and are just here to defend their trucks. The SRT-10 owners are just as passionate about thier trucks as we are about ours.

I like SRT-10's. They taste like chicken.
