Guarantee you that a 2.2 Mopar will give you less trouble than any Dakota. I
have owned several examples of both. Out of my three personal cars (not
including my wife's car) my Charger 2.2 is my favorite car. Without a Turbo
and a 2.2 it is on the verge of 15 second 1/4 miles and this is with almost
no engine work as per SCCA rules
