I don't know nothing about that stuff either. Your truck probably isn't stock if you won those races. Compared to other vehicles, the R/T's motor is a JOKE!! with 250 HP. Some V6's have more power than that. I wouldn't complain if it had power. They should put the HEMI motor in the new Dakotas. I don't like the new Dakotas. I like 2004-1987. I'm pretty sure the R/T's a bad truck. I've got an '02 Dakota SXT with a weak V6 in it. I've always wanted a Dakota with a V8 in it.

while the r/t only has 250 hp it makes up for it with its torque. with 345 pound feet of torque and 3.92 gears they really pull.

My R/T is stock and has plenty of power, more than I can use. I also have the Shaker hood which takes cold air from outside and adds some power. True it only has 250 HP, but it has 345 ft lb of torque to get that HP to the pavement which is not bad. Yeah, they could have done better in the HP department and put bigger and 4 wheel disc brakes on it too. But I bet the vehicles with more HP cost a lot more too.

that is a true 250hp! i have raced two mustangs now one old and one new and i bet if i had a r/t i would have taken them! dont forget that those are always peak numbers so i think that the 250hp stays much longer than say the new mustangs 300hp

sounds like you got yourself a really nice truck babyboy!
