They have been running 10s for a while on that platform. 9s for a while now too.
I think some of the big hitters are in the 8s even but don't quote me on it.

As for Ricky's:
What's cool about Ricky's car is that it is a fast SOB that is still very drivable. Still has a manual, still can be cruised around, and is still rather unassuming.
Congrats Ricky, that's only a few ticks away from 9s!

Ya I had Joel to some work on my car before I sold it, Ricky was helping with the clutch install. This was a while ago, while the car was still at realtune for the motor build....2 summers ago i think.

did not see this thread LOL please delete the one i created haha... thanks for all the love guys, I did alot of work on the car when it was stock motor and trans went 11.45@125mph, then i went 10.64@137 last year at gld, then last weekend beat current bests... I also cut a 1.59 sixty ft, but it did not go into 2nd gear... FWIW, it is not easy to cut low 1.6's and high 1.5's in the sixty fts, so i would not say its all checkbook, but last time i checked you gotta pay to play :)

O ya stock ported 55mm tb and stock cams still :) very, very streetable and gets 28mpg..

Yeah, mine was running mid 11's years ago, and not even touching it's potential (I was running 20lbs of boost with a GT35R, lol). Aaron and RealTune know their SRT4's that's for sure!

Great job again Ricky!
