Sometimes I wonder the same thing about my 99 R/T RC.
Everybody tells of their traction problems with the R/T and
the Motor Trend video showed an R/T smooking the tires quite
easily. Mine doesn't. The only way my R/T will burn rubber
is if I power brake it or really stand on it from a stop and
then it burns off maybe 3 or4 feet only. Exactly the same
as my 98 RC Sport did with the same 3.92 SG and the 318 V8.
If I feel any more power in the R/T it is probably $25 more
not $1,500 more.
