I have an Indy Ram, not a Dakota. Although those new R/T's have caught my
eye...

    I'm running 14.5 - 14.7 at about 93-94 mph. Bill's been running
about 105-108 on his 12.80 runs. A Dakota goin' 135 would have
one heck of an ET! :-) For reference, Dahrl is turning 10.6's at
125mph in his '88 Sport.

  From what I've seen, if you compare a Dakota to something like an
F-body or a Mustang, if they have identical trap speeds, the Dakota
will probably have the better ET. (Due to wind resistance, no doubt.)
