Fastest in your dakota - 7/3/2007 12:16:37 AM    Bad96_3.9 Posts: 435 Joined: 5/8/2006 From: Crawfordville, FL Status: offline What is the fastest you have ever had your dakota up to????? I have had mine to 112 and it was still climbing. i have a GPS so that is how i know, speedo only goes to 110. I was racing my buddys 99 trans am(not really a race) and had it up to 110 with 5 people and a full tank of gas. Not too bad for a v6 truck. < Message edited by Bad96_3.9 -- 7/3/2007 8:04:28 AM > _____________________________ 1996 Dakota Club Cab 2wd SLT Spray in Bed Liner Custom Racing Stripes 3.9 to 5.2 Conversion!!!

RE: Fastest in our dakota - 7/3/2007 10:12:55 PM    JetNoise Posts: 100 Joined: 2/16/2006 Status: offline 110 on generally unpatrolled highway near the state line. Physically the truck would go faster, but I'm a wuss. And I miss hills, too... One of these days I'm taking my truck to West Virginia to go play on some back roads. _____________________________ 1996 Dakota SLT Extended Cab 318 5.2L V8 2WD No, it''s not a Hemi...

I dont trust it at speed. ;)  I had my Camaro upto 163mph once, but its not a Dakota so I guess it doesnt count. (in reply to jonnymagnum) Post #: 12
