Well it is indeed a sad day in my Dakota world. Last Friday night I went up against my freinds 2000 Nissan Frontier(non-supercharged) Dessert runner(2wd) with some 3.? V6. I dont know if it was my bad reaction time or that I have auto and he has stick or my Dakota is 4wd with almost 104,000 miles and his is 2wd with less than 60,000 on it. I have decided to stop trying to race my truck against others and stick to light to medium offroading in my Dakota. I have thought about performance mods for my 93 but I think I will save my money and spend it on mods for my next truck, a "fresher" Dakota 4wd with V8.

Hey, cheer up! I have some good news to help if
you'd like to hear it. This past weekend, my
friend in his R/T whooped the crap out of a ford
lightning by like 3 car lengths. He has nos, but
the lightning has a supercharger. It kind of
balances out. If the R/T had just a supercharger
as well, it could've still beaten it. Just not by
as much. I have a '97 dakota v6. It's not so fast,
but I'm an off-roader. I know exactly how you
feel!!! Take care.
Yours in Dakotas,
Tony

Andrew: dont feel to bad because if the 2000 Frontier is similar to the 93' the gearing in the rear end was something like 4.35. I had a 93 4 wheel drive SE V6 auto extened cab 31x1050x15 and the gearing was something like 4.64 if I remember correctly and when taken out of overdrive and the tranmission set from econmy to power, these switches I think were removed in the newer trucks,when stepped on would get up and move even with 90,000 miles on them.

Its probably a good thing I dont race any more because yesterday I was driving and noticd my motor was doing about 28,000 rpm at 25 or 30 mph. I think it may be the tranny going out.
