Here are two pics the track photographer got of me from a few weeks ago

First the burn out (breaking in the new 12" drag radials.)

Next, the actual launch of the truck. I didn’t realize how high the front end pulled until I saw the picture… the driver's front wheel is lightly touching.

[moparsz]

nice durango, what did it run

I fell in love with that D when I saw it at carlisle last year, great pics but they still don't do that truck justice at all. Undoubtedly the nicest durango I have ever laid eyes on in my life.

[03SXT]

Didn't post a time as I had a fuel problem after first gear. Truck went super rich. At about 100 foot out the fuel dropped into the 8's on the air fuel meter. So it started acting up and I let out of it quick shifted to 3rd then just cruised it down the track at 2000 rpms in 3rd gear.
Hear are the times for the attempt
60 foot – 1.655 sec
330 Foot – 4.659
1/8 mile – 7.233, mph – 94.74
½ mile – 12.426, mph – 79.91

Pulled a nice 60' time and lauched at 2000 rpms. With a 4200 rpm stall I have plenty of room to bring the rev's up and improve on the 60' time. I just want to get a full pull down the track which hasn't happened yet.

Only a 12 second quarter mile? :sorry: ahahaha! :funny:

I think my Durango might run an 18!

Awesome truck! You'll get it running even better and be running even faster!

 

[clint282cc]

LMAO YEAH 12s! hahahaha ran a faster time then my truck idling down the track! lmao! whats all done to the motor again? i remember nitrous... but there was a charger on there too right?

 

[Heavy D]

yeah I know it's real funny that I ran a 12 sec run and that was only in first gear.

Going fast seems to have it's problems and I'm always getting them.

The motor is a 416 R-3 with a Procharger on it. I do have nitrous but have no plans to use it as I think I can do it all on supercharger alone. I have to get the motor making full passes before even thinking of nitrous. With the sixty foot times I see I don't think I need it to run 10's.

 

[KOZMO]

Sweet, sweet rango.

 

[clint282cc]

well, since its on... you might as well use it

600hp should be plenty to get you in the 10s... but another 150hp should put you in 9s now THAT is cool...

if you look it up on youtube, the fastest "SUVs" are like trailblazer SS and SRT8 jeeps and they are only in the 10s... imagine having the fastest... IN A RANGO! now thats badass.

 

[DakotaMike]

Great looking Durango!!! How about an engine bay pic?

 

[clint282cc]

hes the featured truck of the year on the home page. plenty of pics there.

 

[DakotaMike]

Thanks, I just took a look at them. Very nice!

 

[DakOnFire]

hope your rango is ok after that fire.... oh wait thats just paint!



i had a turbo'd rice rocket that was slower than your botched run lol

 

[gocartone]

7.23 1/8 is a low 11 using one of those race calculator things, 10s shouldn't be a problem if you can make a good pass with it! That's moving for a fat pig!
