whoh. I have a 99 club cab 318 and my friend has a 99 r/t. now it depends on
the tranny you have in it, but my truck only weighed 100 pounds more than
his (we had them put on scales). I have a standard. this shows that a reg
cab r/t and a manual reg cab sport have a major weight difference in favor
of the sport and that even a reg cab sport auto weighs less than an r/t.
