Jim,

My R/T will really smoke them Goodyears!
But it didn't want to when it was brand spanking new.
While it doesn't feel as fast as my 95 SLT, it does move.
I see you only have 800 on the ticker.
My R/T didn't really get loose until about 2000mi.
My fuel economy has picked up too.
Get about 18 hwy now at 70mph. Haven't checked the city .

Hang in there.............take a road trip :-)
