Default 2012 Durango RT

Gentlemen, I couldn't believe my eyes when I noticed one outside the Lihue Dealership. I took it for a test drive and I have to say I was impressed. I'm actually thinking of getting one and bolting a Kenne Bell Blower to the Hemi in it.

Or Maybe a Magnuson blower.

Na, you'd have to change your name and move to the durango side of the forum. Just too much trouble.

That is pretty sweet though. I saw a very good review in a mag recently, sounds like they did a good job on the nu durango.

I certainly hope they build an SRT8 Durango or 392/6.4L Hemi Durango. Initially I plan on buying another Hemifever tuning package and bolting the Blower up to the stock Hemi R/T. I'm thiking I will probably get low 13s/high 12s with that. At around 50k miles I would exectute the swap to the 392 and statr serious modding.

I like centrifugal superchargers. The one I had on the Dakota was great. If you don't want to run the blower all you have to do is put the stock belt on it and put a filter over the intake.

They do look good. I'm going to get the redline. The wife test drove it with me and she loved it also. Now I can't wait for spring, lol.

I will still get another G3 Dakota project truck. This RT Durango wil be my daily driver, lol.
