running a 5.9 dodge dakota
this kid in my school is always telling me when he gets his dodge dakota 5.9 rt that it will blow any car out of the water especially a 4 dr fam sedan with kids pouring out the back seats ....now im curious, the 5.9, is there any way an 99se-l can take it stock and auto? if not should even a 50 shot or some bolt ons be able to take him? thanks and any info on this would be helpful

Still...not worth it.

If youa re stock, he might get you. I see the Dakota R/T 5.9 @ E-Town run 15.6-15.4 STOCK. With at least a intake you will stand a change. If you use a 50 shot, you will walk him completely.
I got burned by a R/T w/ exhaust when i only had a CAI and i was running 15.5's at that time.

Some of you might be getting the Dakota R/T confused with the Durango R/t.
The Durango R/T runs from 0-60 in 7.8 seconds. The Dakota R/T is faster. If its a Durango R/T that your racin', you better not lose. (Although you have the slowest 4th gen ) If it is indeed the Dakota you better stay away untill you get some helpful mods. So heres a quick review:
Dakota ownz Durango + Maxima(stock)
Maxima ownz Durango
Durango iz owned by everyone

I love these posts....claiming the outcome of every race by magazine times.
plus...where do you get off saying he has the slowest 4th gen?!?!?! Every 99SE-L I've seen around here has been just as fast as any other 4th gen.
Craig...get a clue man....

check out www.dragtruk.com The majority of trucks on ther are big *** motored Dakotas. Dodge is also selling Streetrod packages including a Hemi Crate motor set up for the Dakotas. As ugly as those little $hits are, they are fast. Remember, theres no replacement for displacement........

I am just stating that the '99 is the slowest model of the 4th generations. Becuase of the weight, extra emissions ect. It may be minute but it's a fact. Just like the '97 5spd is .1 slower than a '95 5spd. It's not noticable but it's still there.
And about the claiming the outcome of a race...If they were any manuals involved, I WOULDNT assume bro. BUT they are both auto's. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to drive an auto consistantly. That's why I "assumed" the race.

The fastest STOCK 4th gen EVER is a '97 SE 5-speed that ran 14.7 BONE STOCK....
you are really claiming that 1 tenth between auto tests makes ANY difference at all on the road?!?!?! Come on.....
It also doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that with 345 ft/lbs of torque in RWD pick-up, launching isn't simply mashing the gas....unless you are trying to give somebody a smoke show....

RT's are pretty quick. My friend has a quad cab V8 and it rips me up off the line, and he'll beat me up to 60 mph but I'll usually take him after that. Also, is that GMC truck called the typhoon or the cyclone, are they 2 different things or is it the Typhoon?
