dude, those trucks arent really that fast. a bigger throttle body, m1 intake manifold, 1.7 roller rockers, and a free flowing exhaust and you'll whip him. get a set of slicks on the back and im sure you'll beat him. most of the time races are won by the driver if 2 vehicles are relatively equal.

Meh, your RTs must be a lot faster than my SLT. All I know is that mine is heavy and not fast.

yea the r/ts are damnd fast, they really move, my friend has a 4x4 durango r/t and he can out run the rams so you know they are fast but idk how much faster than ur truck although they dont have the extra axle or t-case that urs does and most of them are single cab, thats alot of weight lost there

Ya SC are harder to find, less production numbers. CC are more common.

In my Dakota Club here in Texas, im the only one with a SC Dakota...

really, i think i have only seen 1 or 2 r/ts that were not single cab, most of them around here are either durangos or single cabs, i guess it depends on the area

Well around here there isnt many R/T's around here. For some reason the dealers dont get them in.

There is nearly NONE around here in Maine. I had to buy mine from Nevada and have it transported here to Maine.

You should beat him stock for stock. The R/Ts run what, high 14s stock ? Thats what the rams run with the hemis, in a regular cab. So, you should beat him.
