Keeping in mind that the Dodge Dakota is obviously far from the fastest thing on the road, if it maybe the 3.9, 4.7, 5.2, or the 5.9, I dont think I should be here'ing about how every other car ever produced in america is as quick as the Dakota.

A few examples... Some guy says he beats a Mustang, and everyone is like... "Oooh but there are plenty of other Mustangs out there that could still wipe the floor with you!!" (this is rather obvious)

Another example is the Lightening. A guy will say he beat a lightening. Then another guy will hop in and say "Oh but there are plenty of other lightenings that are much faster than your dak!" (there always is)

Last but not least somebody will say they beat a... 5-Speed saturn for instance... Then you have people on there saying.. "Well they must have not known how to shift there Saturn!!" (Ironically enough there was a post about this scenario a week or so ago and the guy who was talking the smack finally mustered up the courage to run it and only pulled an 11 second 1/8th time.)

The bottom line is even though its always nice to have a grip on reality knowing that the Dakota is deffinatly not the fastest vehicle on the road, this website should be a place where someone should be able to logon with his/her Dakota and talk about smoking someone or brag about there ride without being criticized about being nothing compared to a car that runs 7 seconds in the quarter mile...

My turn to rant :)

Why do people forget about the little thing called 'forced induction'?

I got SO many friends that constantly remind me I can't hang with a lightning. Well NO CRAP, give me 8psi and if I still lose to a stock lightning, it won't be THAT much of a difference!

Well, I'm done now.

we might as well race are wallets rather than are rides because the one with the money tree gets the win...

Bigdak, I realize that. I wouldnt have started this F'in post if I wasnt well aware of that. My point is why do people always have to add there 2 cents about how there is something faster, when its obvious?

I guess its the same with people like you though, there is always someone who adds there 2 cents that lacks basic comprehension skills.

What a fool, I dont even know why I waste my time asking simple questions.

My point is its like nobody can ever savor glory for winning a race, because there is always someone who is like "Yes your fast but...!" ... we dont need that.

Victorys are very short around here. You post that you beat someone, and in a matter of minutes your defending yourself against someone else.

Ever been sittin' at a lite and some fool pulls up beside you.... and when the lite changes he shoots his little wad off.... and goes a couple or so car lengths ahead of you.... then, as you sit there looking over as you cruise past him, you are thinking I was racing and didn't even know it. WANNA RACE, GO BIG TIME (cause anything else is childs play!!!!!!

Anything can be decent, A Saturn was mentioned up top, I had a 98' Saturn SL2 with 186,000 miles that was a salesperson used and I pulled a 10 sec 1/8th mile. I have nothing against 4 cylinders it just takes a lot more work and sacrifice in drivability to make them fast. Anyway I love my Dakota!
