They run around mid to low 13's I believe and they are supercharged out of the factory. I think it will be a drivers race giving you the upper hand since you have the z. Good luck.

They are not supercharged from the factory. Gen 2 Ford Lightnings are.

SRT-10 Rams have the Viper's V-10, naturally aspirated. There are, however, several supercharger kits available to fit that engine.

If it's stock, I think it would be an interesting race. If he's really blown, you're toast.

I still really wonder why anyone would develop a kit for such a low production # vehicle....

because people that spend that much money on a low production vehicle will generally pay a lot more for the mods... so as a percentage, the profits will be a lot higher.

Bingo. That, and it's a Viper engine. Aftermarket R&D is already done.

Well, how many Vipers are produced each year? We talking about 30,000 a year?

What does the production # matter? The parts are already developed, and are sold for quite the premium.

How many supercharged SRT-10's do you think are going to be floating around? 1500 were made and if 10%(who know's) of the people buying do something like that..not to many kits are going to be sold then.

Just because you can afford an SRT-10 does not automatically make you stupid when it comes to buying kits...your still going to shop around, meaning companies cannot charge $20K for a $4K kit just because you have money.

Thanks for the info. I have not read up on them and because they beat the lightning I assumed they already were blown. Good to learn something new .

I would be surprised if there will be more than a handful in the nation.

Who knows.

Maybe there will, and maybe there won't. What I do know, is that around me supercharged Vipers are almost a dime a dozen. I'd say a good half of the Vipers local to me are not anywhere near stock. I'm betting this truck (like the Lightnings) will be much the same. A little power is good, but a lot is great

The production number is not important in itself.
It's just the fact that lower production numbers equals a higher value vehicle. People that spend 50k on a car will most likely be willing to spend more dough on an intake than those that spent only 10k on their car.
