I find these post amusing! (no flame intended) but really, why not find out the easy way...we can BS all day long about what we think we know...

Why don't you pull up to a light and find out which is faster that way? Then come tell us about your kill (or being killed)

Just my .02

I'm about 300% positive that the R/T will mop the floor with the V6.

My uncle thought he could beat me because he has a lighter truck with a stick.

He has a '97 RC Dakota with a 3.9/5-speed/3.92's , cat back , V8 TB , and a K&N FIPK - I have '99 CC with a 318/auto and 3.55's - M1 , headers and exhaust.

I beat him on the street a few times and also at the local 1/8 mile strip - I think his best time was a 10.33@65-66mph and I ran a 9.58@73 - his weighs about 3600# and mine weighs almost 4300#.

I think I'm gonna go with the R/T on this one because they have 17 inch rims.

Enough with the sarcasm! I just happen to be the v6 owner jeff is talkin about. First of all, I never said I could beat him with his mods. Second of all, the R/T only has a K&N FIPK on it. Those mods aren't on the truck right now. And just with the K&N on it, it ran a BEST of 15.76, which is within v6 territory if i'm not mistaken. So suck my balls!

I think if the 3.9L is mated to a 5-speed it would probably take him. I have that setup minus the mods and it is still pretty quick. The 92's 2wd trucks only weigh 3195lbs according to the title, very light!!! I would say with a good launch the 3.9L would win easily.

Just my opinion
