Sorry about that, but since Dodge does not put a super charger on a Dak (Get
it DC?), even though they should or Twin Turbo, you are right about the even
the odds for Dodge corner. Factory versus factory the Ferd has it beaten by
at least 1.8 seconds (looking at both specs).
Now the Vette versus the Viper, Hmm! We all know who is better,
GO-DODGE-GO. Hey! Where is the DakViper at?

I may not be the type of person to drive one of these. but neither am I
going to pretend that I would have a chance in a race against it. Even after
you add NOS that only put you one tenth of a second faster than a bone stock
275hp 89' camaro IROC-Z without NOS. So somebody needs to get their heads
out of lala land and start realizing sometimes you need better aero-dynamics
than any truck can offer. Also at 38K for 375hp it is still cheaper than a
Vette with 345hp. And in response to that "F"*cked "O"ver "R"ebuilt "D"odge
lightning VS. the Dakota R/T I don't consider them equals unless you put SC
on the R/T to even up the playing field. Sorry if I was too harsh, I just
had to vent.

Why not with the Dakota?
I run 14.09 @ 94.5 on the motor....13.4 @ 100 on a little juice!
It handles as good as any of those and runs with 'em too.
Curious....why so much money for only 375 hp? Aren't those bowties over
300 hp stock? Surely 75 hp of bolt-ons doesn't run 10 grand!
