ok guys....well my birth day is comeing up in Nov i'll be 17... and i think i'm gonna go buy me a truck or car.... I'm looking to go fast so what do u think about these..The Dodge Dakota R/T with the 5.9 or a newer Mustang i'm looking for something that will be easy to drive on the interstate beucase i plan on haveing to drive to baylor just about every day for college next year.. but eaither way i'm looking to go fast and look good and i know a camaro is the cheapest way to go fast but i don't like them so whats your im put on the to listed above?

 

and why do you wanna go fast so bad?

 

where are you wanting to go fast at? heres some advice... save the racing for the tracks before you wind up around a tree.

 

no i just want to have something besides a 4 cyl lol..... hell i race a bettle bug the other day and lost i wanted to cry lol...no but i don't wanta go fast i just want something that i can work on make it go fast and make it look good like a show quality caror truck and i want it to be diffrent...but i'm leaning towards the Dakota R/T and i do plan on running what ever i get at the track.... i'm not some stupid little teenager i would like to make it to 30 lol :) no but do any of yall have any imput? about these becuase i'v only found one R/T and mustangs are all over the place

EDIT: I would also love to be able to pull up to a stop light and rack off the pipes of a V8..... :badgrin:

 

then defantly a camaro...... they are cheaply modded to go fast. i had a friend running 9's in his camaro....

 

i personally am getting a 91 prelude, and am gonna work on it... make it into a camaro v8 eater :-P

 

i don't like the way they look lol....... hmmm idk i got 2 months to figure it out just thought maybe some of you guys had owned an R/T or a newer mustang....also my mom say why do i go fullsized and get it over with..and keep it threw out college..so who knows o well thanks for your help!

 

you getting rid of your ranger to get the "fast" car

 

Just wondering, you are talking about a quick car and a show quality vehicle. How much $$$ are you working with here?

 

well i could get a rumble bee if i wanted..so thats about my price range i have alot saved and my mom and grandmother said they would help i just have to make the payments..which is not a problem

 

gotcha...my local firestone and meineke call my truck the Ford Rumble Bee... you could even consider a V6 Ranger...

 

go with an older body mustang then... like a 91 with the lovely 5.0 yummmmmmmmmy!!!!

 

u know i'v been thinking about the 4.0 Ranger becuase i like my ranger alot hmmmm..no u guys got me thinking lol

 

man Joey0480 u really got me thinkin...i'm fixin to go test drive one lol

 

go for it...I think most the guys agree on here that the 4.0's have quite the power. And then chip it...and you will be set.

 

hell yeah... stay with the ranger ive got a 4.0 7inch lift and 33s and i can still spin my tires.. but i wouldnt sugguest trying it.. got a funny noise from the rear end but anywhoo get a 4.0 chip it flow it and then go with it... yeah you know you love my rimes and blkout check out the hoda song its preety b/a. lol im just joking around..

 

that songs pimp lol.. i burned it to a Cd and went threw the High school parking lots the other day where all the Hondas and civi's park lol....but as soon as my mom gets here i'm going to go look at one...... do the 4.0's come with a 5 speed does anybody know?

 

im driving a new 4.0, and its got power!!!!!

 

I'm hopeing to be driveing something with more power soon! lol

 

just do the 4.0 i promise its fast and will suprize you with its low end torque

 

Don't forget they don't sell your engine anymore. You have more low end torque than the new Rangers do. I turn 33"s with 4.10 gears with the OHC 4.0L and it is nothing to get excited about.

 

ohh my bad see thats why i come to this site to learn and i just got learned a good lesson... are u sure you dont get a little bit excited...


lol

 

i think i'm going to wait until this summer to make my mind up...and i'm gonna try and find me a dakota R/T to test drive......and anything is more exciting than a 2.3

 

It could be worse, but the Ranger isn't my first choice outta the stable if going fast is on my mind.

 

get a ranger. i did. never had any regrets!
