Yeah, the SRT-10 Rams are on sale right now. Motor Trend tested one in it's Truck of the Year tests and to be eligible for that the vehicle mucst be on sale by Jan 1st of that year.

Sure a pickup would have more traction problems than a car due to the decrease in weight in the back, but can you tell me a vehicle that puts out 500+HP to the rear wheels only which wouldn't have traction problems? It will just be more exagerrated as you add more power, but that's all part of it. If you could build a perfectly balanced vehicle with unlimited traction and more than 600HP and RWD, you'd be a billionaire.

Dodge Ram SRT 10 is a beast too.....they both run high 13s.....I would be more than happy to drive either, but I prefer the Rams styling.

Why did you dredge this up from nearly two years ago?

Ford's 4V Supercharged 4.6 is an amazing engine. It can handle something like 800hp on stock internals, so its not too much of a surprise that it can pull on these types of cars. Its just funny to see a truck run such high-end sports cars.
