Pics of the new beater......

Here's my new daily driver. I already like it more than my turdgens. It's a '99 Dakota R/T. It is sloooowwwww but it's fun to drive. Now i'll be able to tow the Z28 home when I break the 700R4/10 bolt.

Yeah, you're right, it needs a 2"/3" drop. I'd hate to think what the ride would be like. It's already kinda choppy.

I just saw one of those exactly like that for sale at Humberview chev olds on Bloor St. Did you buy it from a GM dealer?
If so, I took it for a test drive just for kicks..

That is what the R/T basically stand for.

I bought it at Dilawri Dodge here in Ottawa. The R/T package gets you the 5.9L, 3.92 9.75" rear end, big sway bars, and a 1" lowering all the way around. You also get the cheesey decals.

Steve, we'll have to have a beater race. Too bad you'll clean my clock

The Magnum 5.9L does a great impersonation of an L98. It feels great for about 300 feet and then it just falls on it's face. Dodge really corked these engines up. The stock downpipes off the manifolds are only 1 7/8".

Good stuff Paul. I'm hoping to upgrade my winter beater soon too, but it won't be a 5.9L though.
