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?

Jim, I'm wondering what you've already thought up for the center console and
all your amateur radio gear!

I think the new Rams are awesome. The 20's do look good, but I'd sure hate
to have to pony up the bucks when it's time for new tires.

Back to lurk mode....
