Thanks guys,
What this video illustrates more than anything is the potential of the SRT-10. When you consider the 60’ time of 2.07 sec., for this run, along with the lost traction on the first two shifts, this car is classified correctly as a high 11’s car.
Good drivers on this board have been saying all along that the power is there, it’s just hard to get to the ground. Keep in mind, when DC added 50hp from GenI to genII, they also went up 1” on the rear wheel size (18”). Again, when they added another 50hp to genIII, they went up another 1” to 19”. Transmission gearing and differential ratios have remained the same for all three generations, meaning the SRT differential ratio of 3.07:1 is equivalent to a 2.63:1 when compared to the first generation. DC keeps giving us more HP and torque, they’re just making it more difficult for the average driver to use. What the manufacturer is telling us is, “Hey, it’s all there baby, figure it out for yourself.”
A nice set of drag radials on 18” wheels are a must. This would bring better traction and raise the differential ratio to a 3.29:1 equivalence, compared to the GenII. Viper CC racing has a larger crank pulley they claim would help move coolant through this puppy better. The car runs about 10 degrees too hot right now (200’F) and the power gain is noticeable when the SRT has had a chance to cool down. The rest depends on whatever your wallet will bear.

Thanks for all the compliments! Keep the faith brothers, and you just may see a 600hp GenIII coupe in 05/06.
