ok brendan. we see the rear end. now can we see the REST of it?

Young Gun · August 07, 2007, 01:58:11 PM

But the buttox is just so nice -- lol. I'll post up more pics after it gets washed later. The front end looks like crap right now. It could really use a new paintjob which I want to do sometime.

JohnF -- That is my neighbors house haha. Reason for it being over there is because our entire front left yard is dug up because they are replacing a watermain. He said I could park it over at his house as long as I keep the driveway clear for his g/f to park (hence the reason its so far up and over to the right and why I dont have any better pics yet). I'll get some later because at the rate this work is going in front of our house I think im going to have to go the carwash uptown.

what does it run in the 1/4?? is it supercharged or anything?

gearhead400 · August 07, 2007, 06:29:14 PM

probably 5.9 like the r/t right? I dont think dodge ever messed with superchargers in their trucks, atleast not for production, i could be wrong though because i've never been into dodge trucks.

Very clean for the year, I bet it sounds real good too! If it where mine i would level it and drop it 2", then cut off the nice chrome tips and dump the mufflers right before the axle.

Nice truck!

No idea, I havent really thought about running it. I would have to guess in the high 13's, low 14's if anything. It isnt supercharged but it does have a decent amount of power. Tires come loose easily and I think it would be a waste to supercharge it. I did want to try and find a older Viper engine and see if I could do a swap somehow and make it a manual, but that will be really costly and I dont want to go crazy on this truck.

The paint does have its defects here and there but is in good shape. The exhaust is awesome on it, very mild yet packs a decent punch. When you fire it up you definetly let everyone in the neighborhood that your going out somewhere lol, but going down the road it is more mild. I actually want to raise the front an inch because from the side the front is lower and it ruins the look IMO. The exhaust tips look really badass from the back and side so I wont touch those. When you look at the truck from the side it looks very "blah" since you dont see the blue stripes. I think im going to have someone put a solid matching blue line going down the side, just a pinstrip kind of thing. Most cars nowadays have it.

nice truck. i have a 97 ss/t in red with the silver racing stripes. it looks like i have the same exhaust tips but they come out in front of the tires on both sides. also has a belltech drop kit in the front and rear. nice to see another ss/t im the only one in homestead with one. it stands out like a sore thumb.

Anoriginal · August 10, 2007, 03:40:12 PM

Good looking truck.

They had 245hp and 345ft. lbs tq.

Best 1/4 times reported in factory form are high 15.80's (as in 15.88). Most run 16.20's.
13's or 14's, nope.

The hyrbid kid · August 10, 2007, 03:55:41 PM

Thanks. Im surprised to find another ss/t owner on here lol. I have seen a 96 Ram Indy pace truck around my town, but no ss/t models. The only thing different from the pace truck and ss/t is the paint I think, could be wrong. Mines covered up in our backyard. My parents denied my license for awhile for no reason. Long story made short = Parents love being in the backyard and making it look good, I park truck outside, cover it and hide keys creating an "eyesour" protesting my license lol. Sounds selfish but they told me the day I was supposed to take my driving test that I have to wait.

ds650kid · August 11, 2007, 12:58:33 AM

yeah dodge made the ss/t to replace the indy pace truck i believe. its cool having an uncommon vehicle. only 2000 were made

thats why i said i'd drop it.

svtbolt04 · August 12, 2007, 03:41:58 PM

Why would you lift a street truck...Get away from your "lift it and put boggers on it" faze and lower it and boost the crap out of it.

I would only drop it if I could bag it. I dont want a low truck that will be scraping everywhere. Around here most businesses and "important" destinations have some sort of incline to get into the parking lot. Bagging would have to be a must.

I want to lift the front one inch because the front has a "stagger" and is lower than the rear. Looks horrible that way. One inch... probably not even that. When the hell did I want to lift it up high and put boggers on it?

Chevy1500z71 · August 24, 2007, 10:52:37 PM

dont lift the front drop the back if its on leef springs its an easy kit.
