New Dakota Coming?
We Hope They Do It Right
There's been talk that Dodge is bringing back the Dakota. We're saying Dodge because RAM Dakota just doesn't sound right to us, although in all likelihood, that's what they'll call it. Whatever name they slap on it, we hope the pictures we've seen floating around of what it might look like are not accurate because so far, we're not impressed. In fact, we dislike them so much, we're not going to re-post them. Although, to be fair, we're huge fans of the 97-2004 Dakotas. We think Dodge hit on the perfect combination of size and looks with that one. It looked muscular and svelte at the same time; tidy proportions with brawn in all the right places. FULL DISCLOSURE: we're also partial to these models because of how many we've helped build over the years. From custom crate engines, both naturally aspirated and blown, transmissions, fuels systems and exhausts, we've had lots of fun with the Dakota, including our very own turbocharged Dak that you can have a look at here
.
While we're waiting to see what FCA does with the Dakota, we'd like to remind you all that we're still very much involved with the ones from the last generation. We have all the go fast goodies you could want to make your Dakota run hard and drive well. Our PIE spec'd and built supercharger systems are the perfect way to add easy, reliable horsepower to your mid-size muscle machine. Have a look at the kits
and let us know if you have any questions.
