Florida, eh?
If I had anything fast, I'd get a buncha chick's riding in it while I made pulls. Seems like nice recreation.
What’s local about this truck? Illinois plates....

That's pretty amazing.
I didn't watch the whole thing, but is it a supercharger deletion and now turbo?
I look forward to the video where the diff or driveshaft explodes.
Doesn’t get much more local...Alberta plates, he’s from Calgary...Quote:

Guessing he already owned the Trakhawk, and decided later to just go HAM with it.
That is likely what happened. Many regular srt-8 Jeeps have gone substantially quicker at the track. If I remember correctly the quickest is at 7.0x seconds now.Quote:

Therefore to build an SRT to this level and have it reliable enough to drive as much as James does, you’d likely end up buying an entire Trackhawk driveline, electronics etc. in order to have the best and strongest components. I’m sure there’s other ways to get to this level of build but the Trackhawk is a good starting point and he has the coin to build on this platform.
OMG. Moar details please.Quote:
