Lets see.
2000 Dodge Dakota, Black, 4.7L V8 club cab Automatic.
Was lowered with Hotchkis suspension. Extreamly flat HP curve. Dyno showed peak HP of 215@4800rpms and 270ft-lbs (but the recording started after the torque peak). Curve stars at 180hp@3500rpms, ramps up to peak then down to 180hp@5500rpms. Fast as hell for the stats, about 5.8sec 0-60 on big street tires, low 15s in 1/4. FOR SALE
2000 Dodge Dakota, Orange, 4.7L V8 Standard Cab Manual.
Basically the mythical track version. Faster in stock form than the infamous R/Ts. Now lower with Hotchkis suspension and competitively raced against Cameros and Mustangs in the AutoX. Haven't dynoed yet, but expecting to see 230hp and over 300ftlbs. 1/4 in mid 14s with daily driver tires (and my dumb ass trying to shift).
2001 Explorer Sport Trac. Wife's car, nuff said. (*"Sport", there's nothing sporty about it).
1973 VW Squareback, Automatic. Good old fashion air cooled fun. My father's been driving it since the day I bought it. Promises to bring it back, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
1973 Fiat 850 spyder. If you know what this is, your already laughing. Sitting in a car port rusting away, waiting to be parted out. The mighty 903cc motor is already gone. That removing the engine was the best mod I made to it, I can push it so much faster now.
