WHY ASK WHY? Any Viper-powered vehicle is okay with us, and this one really hauls.(News)
Byline: MIKE FLOYD
Fast cars-and trucks, SUVs, golf carts, whatever- get two thumbs-up around here, so when an outfit like Chrysler's SRT performance tuning firm works its magic, it gets attention.
One favorite SRT creation is Dodge's pickup screamer, the Viper-powered Ram SRT-10 standard cab, which recently snatched the title of world's fastest truck away from Ford's SVT Lightning.
So why should SRT create this Quad Cab monster?
"We wanted to give Viper owners a way to tow their vehicles to the track and then be able to take the truck out for a few laps as well,'' said SRT director Dan Knott. Yeah, right. Would it also have something to do with a burgeoning sport truck market?
Or how about: Because you can never have enough vehicles with an 8.3-liter 500-hp V10 in the engine bay? Whatever the reasons, thanks much, Dan.
The SRT-10 Quad Cab was developed to fill the void created by the standard-cab Ram SRT's main pure truck shortcoming- its lack of towing capacity. The Quad Cab is a mite kinder and gentler than its racier sibling.
