What did you do to your Ram today???

[2021QCBH]

It didn't take much to put the 5.9 into the 2nd Gen Lightning territory. Shoot, there was a Lightning running at my local track last weekend that was running slower times than the 99 Dakota R/T I just bought. Has headers, M1 intake manifold, ported throttle body and a tune.

I’d love to have another some day. Unfortunately everyone wants one now and they are going up in value. Honestly, since I’ve had one and I probably can’t afford the Viper I want I might look for a first gen SRT10 regular cab. Itch my scratch for a fast red Ram and a Viper.

I was raised on that though. Dad had a 79 lil red express and a red Shelby Dakota when I was a kid.

There were confirmed rumors back in the day that they did built two manual RTs. It was for one of the engineers on the project. He made them build him a 98 and a subsequent 03 for the final call.

I know if a few manual swapped ones, but never heard of any factory built ones. The SRT-10 Rams are ridiculous in prices. I have two Dak R/Ts. My 2000, that this engine/trans is going in, which is my track toy. And just picked up a 99 in May for $1500, 100% rust free, several mods already, brand new tires, some slight body damage from 180k miles of use, just didn't have a title, but I'm almost through the process to get a new title for it.

Oh how I long for the day when I can go "pick up" a toy.

Damned kids and their incessant needs just keep sucking up all my pennies....

Yeah, been there for a while. Started a new job last December with a good pay increase which has helped. Plus my son graduated high school this year and has a full ride regents scholarship for college. My daughter and step-son graduate next year, and my daughter has my GI Bill to use
