Guys I am just wondering are they going to come up with a Dakota R/T version, for the new body style?

I believe there were rumors of an SRT-8 Dakota with a Hemi slated for 07.

Dodge had a Dakota R/T at the 2004 Chicago Auto Show and it was hideous. Ugly wheels, Ugly height, Ugly decals, Rumble Bee-like hood scoop, and the worst thing of all was the 4.7L HO 260hp motor - complete letdown with the Hemi motors available.

There has been other rumors of a Hemi SRT version, but every DC rep I have spoken to at shows/SEMA/etc. has said the Hemi won't fit between the frame rails. They've all been brainwashed into thinking that "It's the only V8 in it's class already, they don't want/need the Hemi" - of course it is, because the competition's V6's have more horsepower and better gas mileage, they weren't dumb enough to make an underpowered V8 like Dodge did.
