Fast Gator,

Those trucks that we were driving were dealer trade-ins.I'm sure that any technician that works on cars and then test drives them definetly get on them,and besides we only go up to about 70 on a highway. How about when a Viper owner or corvette owner takes his car in to get something fixed on it and the technician test drives it after working on it,gee I wonder if he gets down on it. Hell yeah he does!!

Yea, but I didn't pay for the viper or corvette. All Iam saying is I don't want some "jockey" from the dealership running the ***** out of my $30000 investment. If someone going to "drive it like you stole it" that someone would be yours truley. Peace

key words here, DEALER TRADE-INS a trade is when someone trades in their car for another its nobodys car but the dealers and the people who owned it certainly got down it while they had it. Maybe i should have said F-150 owner instead of corvette owner. sorry for pissing YOU off. And one last thing,dealerships couldn't care less about the way any employee drives any car as long as they get the sale.im sure damn near all dealerships are like that.

p.s. jockey?

I have to say somethin about this, first of all, my girls brother has a 5.4L f-150 RC and i smoked him in a race, and then just like coolva said, this is the 1st gen R/T, they may have tried out muscle trucks,but this is the first Dak R/T, which is quicker than the 1st gen L's whether you believe it or not, cuz i have beaten 3, and dont does have plans for the R/T, a 5.7L hemi in 2004 i believe, so while you guys are comparing your blown trucks my a truck without a supercharger, think of whatis being compared, and yes a blown R/T with an 8lb would run with or beat a L, I've seen ithappen many times..

theres no way it ran 15.1 with a blower, that is impossible unless he blew some cylinders, my cc R/T ran a 15.1 stock, and with heads, a cam, new intake manifold and a 52 mm tb, i run a 13.8..i know a few guys in the club that i am in who have 8 lb blowers who run around 13.8-13.6, kenne bell is a garbage blower for the dakota
