I just got my 04 GT automatic and my friend is already challenging me. He has a 03 Dodge Dakota 4x2 extended cab with the 4.7L V8 automatic. The only mods I know of that he has is straight pipes while mine is stock. I know his truck is pretty quick b/c of the large engine in a small truck, but how should this race turn out? I do know that his quits at 100.

Thanks,

Chris

 

straight pipes as in no cats?

well, either way, you should own him...easily.

 

When I said straight pipes I meant no mufflers, just a y after the cats (which sounds pretty mean btw).

Chris

 

you will take him.

 

****... he weighs aroudn 4000lb's... it shoudlnt even be close.

 

Thats pretty much what I figured but I just wanted to check. Thanks for the replies.

Chris

 

there are alot of parts available for his truck, but if i lost to a dakota and a GT, i would be pissed...even if he had one of the "HO" dakotas, with a 5 speed, i would still put my safe money on your GT.

 

i raced my friends dakota and he has a exhaust and some other stuff done to it and i wasted him. i have a stock 96 gt.

 

now, if the friend in question had an RT dakota, it will be a much tougher battle...

 

yeah, the fastest dakota r/t's ran a 7second 0-60 and that was before dodge detuned them b/c of people losing control of the *** end of the trucks due to all the torque in the weightless rearend. if you cant outperform the small v-8 with a GT, then something is incredibly wrong
