Don't know if anyone posted this yet but I just read in Truck Trend Magazine (nov/dec issue) that dodge will be ( or is allready) selling a modified Dakota R/T to commemorate the dakota R/T's last year, details are as follows: Reg. cab only, added a magnum MPI single plane intake manifold, cast aluminum valve covers, Magnum R/T cylinder heads, high performance cam and lifter set, low restriction cat-back exhaust, and a cold air intake, dodge estimates the $3225 in modifications increased the output to 300 horsepower. Article also says this dakota posted better numbers than the ram with the hemi,0 to 60 6.6, 1/4 mile 14.9@99.3 mph Base price $24,770 as tested $27,995

In 1993, a regular cab Dakota with 5.2, auto, 3:92 gear, K&N drop-in air filter, and Mopar Performance 25hp computer ran 14.4 second 1/4 mile. Cost? $15,000. So the "pre-R/T" was faster than the "last R/T". Don't count on the manufacturer to build you a quick vehicle. Take the base platform and improve on it yourself. Save bucks and gain satisfaction at the same time.

Than again the older dakotas were lighter than the gen 3's and that $15,000 in todays prices would probably be close or more than the prices I listed in my first post, not that I'm looking at this R/T I allready own a dakota

Or you could do what I'm doing and put a 408 in a '95 Dakota. :)>
