I have a quad cab ram with the hemi and auto.

It has the factory 3.92 gears and IMO it seemed quicker off the line and faster overall!!

My trucks door sticker says GVWR = 6650 lbs, GAWR front = 3650 lbs and GAWR rear = 3900 lbs.

So is the weight of my truck which one?????

Axel just throw another 2-3 grand into your GT and then you'll smoke a stock SRT without having to try hard.

That is all about how much weight you can have on as load.

What is that? Smoke a SRT8. Only car I have seen smoke a SRT8 was that super charged GTO.That is about a 10 grand mod.
Mustangs have there place...like in my rear view mirror.I beat a Shelby..LIFE IS GOOD!

You beat a Shelby GT or a GT500? If the latter I don't believe it. If true all that proves is the guy driving the GT500 needs to practice.

It's a piece of cake to get a stock mustang GT into the mid-high 12s. 2-3,000 will do it.

Just confirmed with my son...2007 SHELBY GT 500 with 6 speed.....He was riding shot gun with me.
So....he needs practice..I gave him jump and he had me by door..he was chirpin tires when he hit second and third....
I walked by him....That was before K & N and Predator tune.($700 mod)
Would not even be close today.

lol nice. And yeah I think he needs practice.

FWIW my original post still stands. 2-3,000 into a stock GT and you will be at or beating a stock SRT8.

$550 - driveshaft
$600 - CAI/Tune
$500 - 4.10 gears
$500 - Tires
$300 - LCA,panhard bar/brace

SRT8 pwnd.
