Finally got to run a 5.0.
I was out for a drive last weekend, waiting to merge onto the expressway, when I see a blue with white stripe 5.0 approaching. I goose it through the first two gears to see if he is interested, he is. Traffic is a bit thick but as luck would have it we catch a red light. We look at each other and nod, so I know it's about to go down. I bring the revs up to 2000rpm, light turns green and we are off. I instantly pull, the old 6.1 is roaring as second gear comes and goes. I'm three cars ahead at 100 when he lets off. Srt 1 5.0 0
We slow down and he pulls next to me at a 50mph roll and guns it. My pig of a trans wouldn't let me grab 2nd, so the 5.0 jumps out a car and a half by the time I get back into my powerband and start reeling him in. Once my nose hits his door he shuts it down. A win is a win and he caught me sleeping. Srt 1 5.0 1
We drive a bit further in traffic, him in front. The road is about to go from two to four lanes and all clear ahead. I hear him downshift in anticipation, then a bit of smoke and the roar of the coyote as he breaks into the right lane. This time I was ready and in 2nd gear. The boat is screaming through the kooks lts as I stop his pull. Third gear comes and I sail past with a wave. The road ahead is all clear, so I keep my foot planted on the loud pedal. Speedo passes 140mph and I have an easy bus or three on him. He flashes his highbeams at me and throws a wave, then exits. Srt 2 5.0 1
Been wanting to run a 5.0 since they came out, but never had the chance. The coyote did not disappoint as it held up much better than the ss 1le I've ran a few times. Only mods I could tell where exhaust, lowered springs, and bigger tires out back. I'm a h/c/e car, around 450 rwhp and 150k miles hahaha. Thanks for reading
