all of you are joking yourselves if you read the specs on the r/t vs 4.7 the 100 or so extra lbs does not shadow the fact of 20 to 30 more horse power or the fact if you hypertech them the r/t has 25 to 35 more horsepower plus the r/t has over 350lbs of torque i do believe torque is what gives you the jump on the go and if i am correct the 4.7 is at least 100 ftlbs short of the r/t. i have a 99 r.c. r/t and i race you slow pokes all the time even when i had a blown tranny i beat you 5.2,s and 4.7's now that my tranny is fixed by the time you half ass racers hit the gas im at the next light. ive beat the new g.t. mustang that was funny only if you could see the poor little guys face it was like when you take a kids toy away or like when the bullies pick on you at school (and by you i mean all of you who bought a 5.2 thinking that it would compete, and all you mustang owners) sorry you guys couldnt understand the meaning of race technology while you were at the dealer picking up your turtle. you might be more efficient but since when does efficientcy equal power. (oh thats right in your own minds)well get a clue and come to reality you are like a little boy in a mans world there is no competing. and by the way the r/ts bigger rims weigh way less than your 15s shipping weight from the dealer is 8 lbs yes thats right 8lbs. put that in your pipe and smoke it(god knows your truck wont)

Everyone knows that the fat RTs can,t shift for themselfs. Thats why the 4,7s "stick" it to them with almost 80 cubes less. Im getting rubber in third while the RTs are trying to figure out why they lost.(hey man, I blew my trans.) By the way, mine came on 16s and RT rims are still porky. Now-Let the tongue racing begin..

The realdakotar/t says,

"you might be more efficient but since when does efficientcy equal power."

What are you a retard?

The 4.7 is 73ci smaller than a 5.9 but makes only 20hp less. That works out to .800 hp per cubic inch, to your .695 hp in the R/T. Torque is better too at 1.03lbft/ci compared to .958lbft/ci in the R/T.

"plus the r/t has over 350lbs of torque i do believe torque is what gives you the jump on the go and if i am correct the 4.7 is at least 100 ftlbs short of the r/t."

Last I heard, the R/T makes only 345lbft compared to the 4.7's 295. I'm no mathematician, but I think thats only 50 lb ft.

So, if you have done the math, by now you would have discovered that theoretically, a 4.7L bumped up to 360ci would make 288 hp and 370lbft vs. a stock R/T with 250hp and 345lbft.

Welcome to reality

Are you sure the mustang even knew that there was a race, or- did he just see a puppy do a burnout at the lites and you claimed a win?

I have a club cab RT with a shaker hood and a Mopar PCM. I haven't done anything else to it since 2002 except for much better tires. However, I've beaten Trail Blazer SS'es from a dead stop on 2 occasions, even in all of the SS'es LS2 glory. I would suppose if a 5-speed 4.7ho had the edge on me, it would also have an edge on the SS right? (logically?)

Also a Club Cab Dakota R/T only weighs a little over 4100lbs. If you think that's fat, the Challenger and the Charger both weigh as much as that. (Before all of you get excited I'd trade my RT for a Challenger in a heart beat.)

I don't know... I really wish the RT would have came with a 5 or a 6-speed (especially after watching those Keisler 6-speed RT videos on youtube) but I have to say the lack of ability for the 46RE to shift properly is easily remedied in the form of a shift kit.

I haven't posted on this forum since 2002/2003 either, I forgot how entertaining it is. :^)

I would have to give this one to the 5.9, due to the fact my dad had a 98 extended cab ram 1500 4x4 with the 5.9 and the truck used to break your neck when you laid into it, i beat alot of chevy and ford 1500's in the truck on the road. it wasn't even moded other than a magnaflow muffler. I now own a 95 c/cab slt dakota 4x4 with the 5.2 and it doesnt really have that snap of the 5.9 if i could afford it i would swap to the 5.9 in a heart beat.
