Mine's black too and Stacy is right....it does get dirty easily....but,
when it's clean *nothin* looks better than black. It does tend to show
stone chips easier too. My Dak is only 5 months old and I've already got
about a half dozen to fix up.
As for the hp increase.....the '97 Ram 360 is rated at 230hp. The '97 Dak
318 is also rated at 230hp...just less torque. The '98 Ram/Dak 360 will be
rated at 250hp. I'd say you could *maybe* hope for 240 out of the 318 next
year if it raises at all. If it was me.....I couldn't wait for the '98s. ;^)
