HMMMMmmmmm.....I was under the impression that the SRT-8 was going to be the new version of the Dakota R/T. Dont get me wrong its cool...for a car, but I wish dodge would just show us what the new dakota will look like. If it looks like that m-80 or powerbox i for one will not be getting a dakota. Guess i have to get a Ram.

Hers what I found on an Edmonds auto site:
"Like the Durango, the upcoming Dakota has been successfully kept from prying eyes, so very little information is known. Expect the same engine lineup with the addition of the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 for the R/T version."
and I also found this on MOPAR site:
The Hemi's first vehicle was the 2500 and 3500 Rams, where it is the base engine. It moved next into the Ram 1500 (calendar year 2002), then eventually to the Grand Cherokee, LX cars, Durango and Dakota. Hemi production began in June 2002 at the Salitillo plant in Mexico, with a projected production of 440,000 engines a year. Only about a quarter of those engines will be used in heavy duty pickups, with the rest expected to end up in Grand Cherokees, large cars, Dakotas, Durangos, and light duty pickups.
The engine's unique two-valve hemispherical combustion chamber within an aluminum head provides impressive air flow, torque and power (hallmarks of the original), and gives the engine its throaty rumble. Fifty-six pounds lighter than the 5.9-liter V-8, the 5.7-liter Hemi produces 41% more power and 12% more peak torque.

the author doesn't know chrysler vehicles very well, if he/she thinks the last rwd car was built before 1973.
