I recall seeing these excuses used by many Dodge owners already. So tell me this...

Perhaps they should have done some better planning instead of trying to make the truck look good(which it doesn't).

Im sick and tired of excuses.
Ya you do have to shift it.Thats your problem,You bought it!
Ya it does have 22s.Thats your problem,you bought it.
Ya it weighs more than the Lightning by more than the tow rating,thats your problem, you bought it
Those are ALL problems that come with the overpriced piece if *****.No excuses.Dont start complaining now that you have one how many disadvantages it has,Your the idiot who spent 15k more for a ugly,heavy,non traction getting ,clunky shifting toilet.
Dodge boys are full of excuses.........always have been.

That being said, if you take an SRT10 and just put 18" alloys and drag radials, the race would more than likely be a bit closer than many think. Go ahead and say it, "For 45,000 it should be quicker than that." Right or wrong for a 5300 lb truck with 22's to run as quick as a stock Vette which is 2000 lbs lighter is pretty good.

Didn't motortrend get a pretty good time out of a stocker?
That truck could be a serious contender with a set of slicks & some traction bars. Granted, it may burn up the clutch on the 4th time down the track...but if you can justify 40k+ for a truck that doesn't tow, you can probably afford a new clutch every other week.
