Brian's just plain wrong, sorry....
And a $1500 difference? We're talking about an RC 5-speed.... You can pay
more for a Neon....
And Ed's 4.7 is pulling a 4x4 QUAD CAB with a Camper shell and tall tires.
DAMN IMPRESSIVE!!!
Don't get me wrong. I'm not claiming the 4.7 is more powerful than a 360.
And I do think it is far easier to mod a 360.
I'm just saying the 4.7 in a RC with a 5 speed and 3.92 SG is the Hemi Road
Runner of Chrysler's line up. No frills just all the go fast goodies.
Now that's just talking 1/4 mile stuff....
If I was going to build a canyon carver or autocrosser, I'd stick with
stripped down 4.7. Why? The 4.7L is 150lbs less than the 360. I'm going
to put a Hotchkis suspension and tuned Bilsteins on it anyway. Everybody
changes the exhaust, even the R/T guys. Hell, most of my R/T buddies
change roll pans and air damns too. Why pay for the R/T if you're going to
change everything anyway to build a canyon carver.
I'm looking for that RC V8 with the AM radio, bench seat, and the roll up
windows! I even like the Chrome grills... Most of the show guys take the
Sport decals off anyway, and you didn't think I was going to use the stock
wheels and tires did you??? Hell, Edison is broke..... I wonder if Dodge
is sitting on any stripped down white fleet Daks???
Cruise on you stylin' R/T guys!!! :-)
