Having owned both a 98 4x2 V8 auto 3.92 SG and a 99 R/T, The R/T is a little
quicker at low rpm ranges, not a great difference at higher rpm ranges. However
the 98 had headers, the R/T does not (cause I am told the ones I took off the 98
318 wont fit). The handling is quite another matter. The R/T handles great,
Better than any truck I ever drove (and I used to own a GMC Syclone). The ride
is a little firmer and cornering is great with almost no lean at all. The R/T
sounds a lot better. A word to the unfamiliar, apparently no magnum engines
run very well until several thousand miles of break-in.
