I guess that's my feeling. I was reading a copy of the Winter 1997-98 issue
of "Power Wagon & Sport Utes" magazine and they claim a Dak 4x4 5.2 automatic
clocked 0-60 in 7.5 and the 1/4 in 15.89 at 84.5 mph. All this with 3.55
limited slip. It stands to reason taht IF one can "hook up", the 3.92 would
be even quicker. Something just doesn't sound right with that R/T test.
