E55 vs. SRT-10 supercharged ???????

Just wondering which will win? I think it will be close. My brother in-law and I are about to leave to go pick it up in Yuma. Its a 2004 6spd with a paxton supercharger with long tubes, high flow cats and magna flow muffler. I guess the guy did titanium gears with a high performance clutch to so what do you guys think? remember its 5000lbs and is has trouble with traction because its still a pick-up truck

Your worst nightmare...
Hmmm that will be a close call...I would give the advantage to the E because it is lighter. Is your Renntech a stage V? Please bring a camera.

E55 should handle it fairly easy. While the SRT-10 trucks are wicked fast as a truck their tranny, gearing, weight, aerodynamics etc hold back it's performance.

If it were a Viper then I'd have to go with the complete opposite of what I just said.

The truck will def out tow you, and has better ground clearance-so off road, I give to the Ram-
The E should walk pretty well on this-

Yeah the truck traction is an issue. It cant launch well because there is no weight over the rear axle, might want to do it from a roll to be fair.
