Wayne Finch Prowler Junkie Posts: 4011 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: SEP 2000	posted 01-16-2004 10:54 PM While at the Smokies this past summer, I had the chance to test drive the Ram SRT pickup (thanks to Laddie, Bob and the Chrysler gang). It has the Viper engine in it that produces 500 hp. What a machine - and it handles awesome. I have never thought of myself as a "pickup truck" guy, but this is more than a pickup. The Viper Club of America arranged to have a special run of 50 of these trucks made in Viper Blue with white stripes and were having a draw to determine who received the opportunity to buy one of these. Well, I got the call today from the Club telling me my name was selected. Awesome - I can't wait to get this machine. As part of the deal, I will be going down to Daytona where the 50 trucks will be delivered to participate in the pace car activites of the Dodge Truck Series 200 at Daytona Speedway. Also included are special passes to the Daytona 500. This is going to be awesome. ------------------ 99 Black Stock Plate PROWLERR 00 Woodward (#98 of 151 - Custom Interior, Plate PPROWLER, Matching Trailer (numbered & pinstriped) 2002 CANDY RED: Extensive modifications Plate PROWLLER, Trailer 99 Supercharged Shelby Durango 02 Blue/Silver Viper GTS ACR SPECIAL BUILD #1 of 1 03 Black Viper SRT-10 500 HP ***See Scrapbook for Pictures This message has been edited by Wayne Finch on 01-16-2004 at 10:55 PM

CJ Prowler Junkie Posts: 18860 From: Rochester Hills, MI USA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 01-17-2004 08:52 PM Wayne.......Congrats! The truck is very reminiscent of the 1996 Dodge Ram Indy Truck which was the Official Truck of the Indy 500 that year. The Viper, of course was the pace vehicle. We were living in Cincy then and Bob did a dealer drive-away at the track. There were 154 Ram Indy Trucks that dealers came to drive back to their dealerships. It was several days of activities, photo sessions and driving on the track. The very first pre-production truck was used for color mastering, etc. and Bob was driving the truck as his company vehicle. It was then the first Indy truck sold to the public (me). Since I'd had the opportunity to drive it while he had it, I loved the truck and he bought it for me. I thought it was interesting that the SRT10 paint scheme was just like the Viper and Ram Indy Truck, so I thought you might enjoy these pictures. Lined up on Pit Row!! My truck was the last one in the left hand row! 154 1996 Dodge Ram Indy Trucks Pretty cool! Bob and Indy Racer Johnny Rutherford

CTProwler Prowler Junkie Posts: 3915 From: Sherman CT USA Registered: NOV 2002	posted 01-17-2004 10:16 PM Awesome truck. I would buy one if it was a 4X4 I can't see buying a pickup without it! If i buy a 2 wheel drive i like the looks of the SSR better! More of a Hot Rod! Bring it up to Niagara so we can all go for a ride. Will they allow you to sit people in the back in canada? They won't here in CT! ------------------
