I am about to decide not to wait for the srt-10 after reading remarks about
further delays in availability, limited availibility and perhapps a very
high price. I have enjoyed my 99 R/T and while it has only 54k miles on it
and some of the extended warranty left and is in nearly immacualte condition
I may trade for a Ram if you guys will forgive me for doing so. I have
determined that the swb reg cab ram is only about 400 pounds heavier than my
R/T and with the 5.7 hemi will have 100 more horses before aftermarket
goodies can improve that. I wonder how much more power a few mods can turn
up. I know that a blower would turn it into a fierce tire melter. Also I
would really rather not have to shift gears myself. If I buy one it will be
a Laramie with all the goodies that I can get. I will insist on the 3.92
anti spin diff also. Any thoughts from the group? 17 or 20 inch wheels?
