i liked the truck though, from about a 25 punch he could get it sideways.

They're nothing special stock, mid-low 15's, but with the right combo they can put out some good power. But as with any truck, traction is always the key, I've lost to 13sec cars before because I was on street tires and can't hook under 45mph, on DR's tho, it's a very different story

if you ask any true dakota or dodge geek those were not R/T's. it was mearly a sitcker package and some aesthetics. most of them were 4wd too.

the R/T ended in 03. i have a 02 RC R/T that runs 13.0ish with pretty much bolt ons. damn heavy truck though buy handles great. i am trying to sell mine though. into doing the boating thing now not racing

couple pics of mine
