Buy a Vortech S-trim and some MT ET drag slicks (some 28 x 8.5 would work nicely on some regular 15" Dak or Durango rims) and bolt them on your R/T one weekend and then go racing the next! Also, you could see how many races it would take to blow up a syclone vs. a Dak to determine the true winner. I have heard that the Syclones are not very reliable (prone to cracked pistons and thrown rods), but I have yet to hear of anybody on the list blow up their 318/360 dakota/ram.

I have posted a message similar to this before and several people had little
confidence in the Dakota vs. the Syclone. I you look at the Syclone mailing
list they're always talking about races against slow R/Ts. Here are the
specs.
GMC Syclone Specs: Power to weight- 12.5 lb/HP
- 4.3L V6 Turbo Charged 280HP
- AWD
- 3500lbs
- 0-60MPH 5sec
Dodge Dakota R/T Regular Cab: Power to weight- 14 lb/HP
- 5.9L V8 250HP
- Rear wheel drive
- 3508lbs
- 0-60MPH 6.9sec
So guys it looks like the only thing the Dakota lacks is traction. What can
we do to improve this substantially? What is everyone's thoughts?
