R/T’s run around low 15s stock if I can recall from conversations with R/T drivers. I’d say homebrew turbo plus new pistons and you’re there. ---

Very cool. Honestly those prices seem awfully low to me (Turbo/Mani for 300?), but you’ve obviously done the research. Cool idea. SRT-4 in sheep’s clothing! :tup: ---

And I think that windshield banners and park bench spoilers are the lamest fucking things ever. I’m not an idiot. And I’m not a n00b, either. I’ve been here since June. I just don’t post a lot. I’ve been on a posting spree. I guarentee that I’ll stop posting this week. But dude, I know that everyone doesn’t want something fast. I don’t have a fast car. Hello. I was just talking about how blazers are sweet. And they’re obviously not fast, or whatever. Blah blah. I’m fucking rambling. But jesus christ. I just don’t like neons. They’re lame and ugly. I’d mod a Topaz before I’d mod a neon. Yeah. In your face. I’m a jerk. ---

props to the neon guys. When i first got my Dakota R/T and everything was completely stock, i went against a red 2 door R/T neon (possibly from thw West Senneca area, any1 kno him? anyone?) and i got beat like 4 or 5 cars. after i started doin stuff to my truck i ran into him again on the street and pulled him by like 1 car (with 2 of my ‘heavier’ friends in the truck). so i guess my point is mad props to the neon guys…the R/T ones can really haul if u put the time and money into them ---
