Any particular reason it was considered a bad year? I've got a '99 w/51k+ mi. No probs.

There is no bad year. There are no big differences that would change performance that much. I saw a road test of a 98 CC that ran a 15.1. It's all about the track, the weather that day, and the driver. There could easilly be some difference in performance from one truck to the next but the average of all 98's is going to be very close to the average of all 99's and so on. When R/T owners talk aboput the best year R/T it's often just an inside joke because there are no real differences (at least that can't be overcome). The 98,99, and 2000 models have an easier time getting smog legal parts directly from Mopar but that's about it.
