Took a trip down to Santa-Monica Today, And alls I got to say is DAMN! Its a whole different beast down there! (Im at 2500 feet), I didnt realize that elevation made such a difference, 1st gear was almost useless at WOT as the tires just lighted up in smoke. Cant waint to start modding this thing!

-Sam, A very Happy R/T Driver!

What's the curb weight of an R/T? My QC 4x4 with about 5 gallons of fuel, me, and the canopy on it weighs about 5200 lbs and it's far from smoking the tires off.

Dakota R/T is more that just another truck... it's a cult.

When our Dokota R/T lived in NYC, It weighed in at 4082 Pounds I think? I would have to go find the papers, Cant remember exactly, But somewhere around that number.

Oh, that's about a thousand less than my qc. [sm=insomnia.gif]

I guess that would do it.
