Hot Rod tested a Dak R/T RC and got a 14.85 @ 91 out of it. Damn good for
a truck, or a sports car! Mustwang Cobra's are in a totally different
territory tryin' to fight Shamaros and Firechickens. Just 'cause a 250 hp
truck doesn't beat a 300+ horse car (that weighs less), don't be
disappointed. Dakotas are easy to upgrade, cheaper to upgrade(when we buy
in groups ;-) ), cost less(execpt at some of those punk-ass dealerships),
and have more capability than a car. What else can tow a sh*tload of stuff
and then run 14's??
Besides, I only have to own one vehicle - not only does it go fast, but it
also hauls stuff.
