KissMySilvSS Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I think I can speak for everyone on this site when I say, we bought the truck because it looks cool and it has a little more juice than a regular silverado, the bigger motor is nice, but face it obviously money wasnt an issue for any of us, someone who buys a truck for .02 has quite a problem, plus almost everyone on this site has some kind of perfomance mod, as most truck owners do.

KissMySilvSS Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 and if you wanna talk about money, the srt-10 is 50k for a reg cab 2wd, now that is a ridiculous price.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
383ss Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I was actually really suprised at all the options that came standard with the SS. I didn't realize all the cool shit and toys it had till I was driving it home from the dealership. From the info center that tells you about 100 different things to the heated leather captains chars to having power seats/lumbar for both passenger and driver and there's much more. all that and AWD I don't think the 35k that is probably the average most of us paid is bad at all. I STOLE mine for 28,8XX after GM card savings. I'm happy as hell with my buy, but I will be the first to admit it needs more power... then again I'm used to driving a 500+hp camaro for a hemi to have all that, it will run the same high price tag and you won't have AWD.

KissMySilvSS Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 yeah but you can spend 30-35K on an ss then supercharge it and you will have a much better truck than an srt-10... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Dodge Hemi? If I had wanted a truck from a foreign manufacturer, I would have bought a Toyota. But, I wanted American and since that means Chevy or Ford, I bought the Chevy. Don't tell me how it was made here, blah, blah, blah. Daimler an American company, or not? NO! End of subject.

stvejay Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Motor Trend testing of the silverado SS, and Dodge Hemi shows the Silverado SS on top also. stvejay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costabilo Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I think the fact that the Hemi has to use it's lightest varient to compare just to keep up is dissapointing. I would like to see what the hemi would do with about another 500lbs (4x4, quad cab) on it. With nearly the same hp/torque numbers you would think it should be just as fast, but it's not. I think that dodge should have put the power to better use in their design . This is why I didn't buy a Ram Hemi. Here are some info from motor trend to back up my thoughts. 2003 Chevrolet Silverado SS 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Hemi POWERTRAIN/CHASSIS Drivetrain layout Front engine, awd Front engine, rwd Seating cap 5 3 Curb weight, lb 5300 4800 TEST DATA Acceleration, sec 0-30 mph 2.1 2.3 0-40 mph 3.2 3.4 0-50 mph 4.8 5.0 0-60 mph 6.6 6.8 0-70 mph 8.6 8.8 0-80 mph 12.1 12.0 0-90 mph 15.4 15.8 0-100 mph 20.2 20.9 1/4 mile, sec @ mph 14.99 @ 89.05 15.11 @ 89.06 Braking, 60-0 mph, ft 119 132 -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troyz34 Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Numbers on the srt-10 ARE NOT and I repeat ARE NOT 13.1 the latest number I have seen are 13.6 in car and driver. I know I could beat a stock one with my extended ss with all my goodies and not just riding on a motor. Thats what dodge does they built a motor and throw a chair on there and then people spend loads of cash cause they are fast and then most of them are dissapointed because it just isnt fun riding only on a motor.
