Hehehe, nope, we're all just pissed that we're are lugging around an
extra 1000lbs or so, and want to prove we can handle it! LOL! Actually I
have the same problem with Mini-van drivers as well; don't know if they
aren't paying attention and get in the wrong lane all the time or what
their major malfunction is but they are always trying to gun it and cut
in front of me.

I don't know about 5.2 daks but I get "challenged" quite often by
Durango owners. just cruising along minding my own business and they
will pull up next to me, speed up and cut me off. One guy even used a
"right turn only" lane to try and pass me. They have something to prove
since they spent more?

I was wondering what your setup was Colin. I have the 98
5.2
with the 9.25 3.92 anti-slip. These gears will throw
your head
back with the 5 speed.
Lookin forward to my first R/T encounter.
