RE: 5.9 dakota vs 5.7 ram
My money would be on a hemi ram, unless you're talking about a highway geared quad cab 3500. All things being equal though, the 5.9 isn't that quick. It's a torque motor, a real truck engine, and generates its power down low, whereas the 4.7 and 5.7 generate more of their power up top.

It is all about weight. My old 2003 Dakota R/T std cab was only 4200lbs. How heavy is the lightest 2wd ram 1500 w/ a 5.7L? Got to be over 5000 lbs. It would have to be a 2wd, 5.7L manual, standard cab with a short bed. The best ¼ mile time I could get out of my bone stock 5.9 R/T was 15.08 @ 89 mph. I had a lot of Hemi ram owners try and race me all the time, but they all lost. All were 4wd or 4 door Ram trucks. I never raced the light ones. They were allways very pissed off when I beat them. One time this guy could not stop talking about how his truck was going to walk all over mine. We raced from two stop lights. I pulled a car length on him out of the hole both times. We raced again from a 30 mph roll, put a car length on him again by 60 mph. After that he just kept yelling with his head out the window that his truck would walk away from me on the freeway. I said no way was that heavy truck going to beat me. So I told him to lead the way to the freeway so I could follow him and shut him up, but he turned off the road to go home. He was driving a 2wd 5.7L ram with 4 doors and a short bed.
What is the best ¼ mile time someone has got out of their 2wd, 5.7L regular cab, short bed, manual 1500 Ram? I kinda want to know.

Well i have seen them race before and the Dakota R/T won. The Dakota had a aftermarket exhaust on it but that was it. If you look it up the R/T has a 0-60 in 6.8 seconds and the Ram does it in 7.0 and the faster you go the farther the ram falls behind because of weight and air resistance.
