Hell know! I own a Stang and that damn Dakota scares me..... With some of
the improvements that are mentioned here, I can see a 12 seconds or high 11
second Dakota easily built than spending additional 20K. But now I own one,
DAMN, that power band is incredible. Dodge made a strong come back with the
compact truck and seeing those tin can Nissan and wanna-be Toyota trucks,
what a joke!

Steven St.Laurent, Hi! 2 seconds faster in the 1/4 mile? WOW!
That means if the average Club Cab R/T runs 15.5 that the 96 4.6 Stang,
the subject of this post will run 13.5, WOW! I guess we should trade all
our Daks in on Fords WOW! Dave Waco
