Have never heard aftermarket exhaust on a V10?

My first hand experience was that it startled the hell out of me... partly because I didn't expect the driver of the Viper that I was giving the thumbs up to to throw hard revs. It sounded like violence itself.

It's a truck. Not many trucks run.. 14.8 in the 1/4, and your GA was no where near stock to do that, imagine doing the same thing to this V10 as you did to your Grand Am!!!

for some reason the pics didn't load for me and from what I read I thought it was the Viper. My fault After a refresh I see its the truck....bad ass! I thought 5000 lbs was heavy for a Viper !

Not to mention that Lightnings are almost at that point stock and easily go past that point.

At least Dodge has something to compete with the Lightning.

The pics didn't show up when I first posted this, so I chenged them.

It was the 5000LB version of the Viper, then I switched it to the truck since the pics didn show up.... what... you haven't seen it before?

What stupid crap, who needs a 8.3l V10 pushing 500/525 when the 6.0l v8 LS2 is doing 400/400 and will no doubt is far lighter

I second that. wtf

It's cool, but I'd rather a Lightning or F-350 Super Duty.

I still find Lightnings more sttractive. I've never been a fan of the v10. True with the right exhaust it sounds like violence, but then again, a v8 with the right exhaust can sound like World War 3 is starting.

Anyway, I think the Silverado SS regular cab with the 6.0L (I assume if made it would get the 6.0L LS2), 4000 lbs, 400 hp 400 ft-lbs and the 6 speed would smack the Lightning and Dodge. I wish GM would make that. It looked so freakin mean compared to either of those trucks really.

Back in the day Chevy started this **** with the 454 SS and now they're completely outmatched, that kinda sucks. Would be funny if they cammed out that 8.0L engine, raised the redline and did some things to extract more power, along the lines of 550 hp or so. Dreaming sure is fun. How about a 572 BBC with about 700 ponies?

Don't forget Syclone & Typhoon.

I agree I am sick of GM not dominating the performance world in nearly every category of vehicle as usual.

BTW they should go north of 400/400 on the aSilverado. They need to SMASH the competition not just edge it out slightly. Put that 8.2 liter V8 in there with a blower or something.

Have you ever heard a V10 with exhaust? I have heard a million diferent V8's... NOTHING sounds like a V10. You owe it to yourself to hear one, a loud one. It's a unique sound, does not sound like a V12 or a V8... Yes I am a bigger fan of V8's but.. you gotta hear a V10, trust me.

That was underestimated marketing numbers.
2 magazines have run 13.1s now. Many of us
are expecting to see high 12s once the trucks
start getting into real world drag racers hands.

MotorTrend and Sport Truck both got 13.1s.
