RE: no love for dak R/T's??? - 1/22/2005 4:32:28 AM    Dr.Bleed   Posts: 8 Joined: 1/18/2005 Status: offline Thought about trading my R/T in for an 04L. Could have got the L for about 15k with trade in and talk down... Stuck with the R/T though. Reason is the extra weight (and the fact my truck is nearly paid off). The things the L can do with 400hp is what a modded Dak R/T can do with about a 50hp disadvantage. Not to forget handling as well, and the Dakota R/T's nimbleness is second to none when it's panned against the big bulky SRT-10 Ram's, Lightnings, and the Silvy SS'es.
