>>>Ok, fact time.
Cheaper yes, faster no. I have seen one of the vaunted 4.7/5 speed/3.92s
running at the track, best was a 15.1 and he could hit every shift PERFECT
and launch that sucker GREAT! There are 00-01 R/Ts running mid 14s BONE
STOCK, with freaking auto trannies.
>>>The going rate for stock RT's is lower 15's, but I guess that's
subjective.
And have any 4.7s hit 13s with just
bolt-ons???? 100% N/A???
>>>Mr. Matt = 14.1, that's pretty close; about 15 flat stock.
With the 4.7 you lose so much, it would cost
thousands to reproduce the suspension and rims of the R/T ALONE!
>>>RT wheels=$126x4 - $200 for stock wheels = $300. Hotchkis suspension =
$1200. not exactly thousands and hotchkis is quite a bit better.
And to add
to that there is only a 1500-2000 dollar price difference.
>>>Really? RT=$24410; 4.7L 5spd=$20,800 and that's paying $420 extra for a
tire and handling group that would be swaped out (see above). There's you
thousands. Based off the Dodge website, similar equipment. Now if you
didn't go for all the luxuries that bring the 4.7 up to RT equipped (AC,
lights, power etc.) we're talking only $18500. And of course nobody
mentioned weight savings of a 4.7L+manual combo over a 5.9L+auto, remember
how the 'cuda was as fast as a charger? and gas mileage... yikes...
