After all that, 215rwhp and 340rwtq isn't enough for you.
Was it not fun at all for the first little bit, or was you expecting more from it?

Hey Nate, is that T/A white and REALLY loud? If its the one I think it is, it runs low 12's on 17' ET Street radials.
Does the Ram have big chrome exhaust like a big rig? If its the one I see at Shannonville all the time it runs high 13's real low 14's, a long way from 10's lol but still fast for a big ole truck.

sell it and get a 87-93 GT 5.0
You gotta step your game up.

I think once you have a 5.0 you will be happy for a bit. Then slowly do it up. Your car now is nice but at the end of the day its a V6. I am not saying that to offend anyone so please do not take it the wrong way. I saw a couple nice clean notches on the auto trader. Or even the Cobra at the link below.
