Red light drag race

[BlueScapegoat]

Of course Red is the fastest color. The SRT-10 is still the world's fastest stock production truck. My 04 6-speed is just a wee bit faster than the 23 Gladiator. Keeping it Mopar.

I've also got a red '04. Straight piped dual 3", racing clutch, intake, coils, electric fan conversion, 93 octane tune, 1/2 drop, drag radials, etc.

My Gladiator is also a tuned diesel. It's a lot easier in 4wd to launch the diesel from a stand still and it's impressive for what it is but the Ram is going to be ripping by as soon as the clutch is fully let out. Not even close.

And in all honesty the Ram isn't that fast by modern standards anymore. But it's a pure analog death machine so that's pretty damn cool.

I was on Parson's Road in the Smoky's and it dumped me onto the Dragon at the end. Those
rice burners didn't want any part of this.

So last night I pulled up to a red light and a gas Gladiator sport pulled up beside me and started reving his engine to show off his modified exhaust. I power brakes and bumped in. He took the bait and I blew him away I don't think he knew he was messing with a diesel. Very funny experience in my new ecodeisel.

You still want to race? Call me.

Two jeeps drag racing? You should have seen who could go slower at idle.Then see who’s got 5.38s and Klune-V under drive and a multi speed Atlas transfer case, like 300-400:1 crawl ratio, now that would be impressive.

Haha my 2023 Rubicon XR with the V6 E-Torque and factory 4.56's makes my Mojave with 37's on 4.10's seem like it is broken down the acceleration is so different. Loved short red light goes with cars with that XR.

Nope but will go thru there in April 2025. I never raced the JK when I owned it. I have a JT now. My son has the JK now and still going strong with the LS3. Best engine ever put in a Jeep and I am including the Hemi's with that statement. LS3 is lighter and puts out more HP per pound than the Hemi's and doesn't require the steering column to be moved. I loved that JK. The JT I have will eventually get a LT1 crate motor I have when the conversion kits are ready.

Very cool I was wanting to see one swapped in seen lots of hemi, and small blocks but I agree the ls3 is awesome and I'm a full blown Mopar guy I have a 34 Ford roadster with the ls3 and a 32 Ford coupe with a ls1 and a wienand 871 I still think the ls3 is funner to drive. Where you headed in April 25? Lots of cool trails within 100 miles of Cheyenne nothing extraordinary but cool trails

Oh, are we talking about our go-fast? Y'all have 50% too many wheels, 33.3% too many cylinders, and 100% too many street legal lights, mirrors, license plates, etc.

 

[BourbonRunner]

You guys and your straight line vehicles. Take a turn for once. Sheesh.

Sounds like you are a hot rod guy too. I'm getting too old to build another one but your sound like fun. Had a 33 Ford Five window coupe with 427 Chev in it. Also 55, 57, 66 Chevs with big engines. Great fun. That was back when doing so was not that expensive like today. I have settled on Jeeps now as I mostly overland with them. No rock crawling though. Too much carnage and I don't like to walk long distances I am headed back to Idaho and Oregon in April to visit family and love to travel Wyoming. Great state but would require a divorce to move there and those are too expensive these days. I have traveled extensively in all states but my favorites are Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and crazy Oregon where I grew up. Love the SW too for overlanding. Will try to remember to email you before starting my trip. Would love to see the hot rods!

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade... But the gasser is faster and quicker than the diesel. I'm sure the mods made him slower, but stock racing stock will have the gasser finish first.
