It wouldn't take them much effort to stick a L92/6spd in a RC but I wouldn't hold my breath. All they seem to care about is the vette, and camaro.

There is a Tundra guy on one of the Dodge forums who basically said "I hate to admit it, but I haven't seen a Tundra quicker than 13.8-13.9"...which is still freaking hauling for a big *** truck.

I didn't realize that with the GCsrt8. Maybe it is. I've tried to get info(stall, str) out of Dodge, because basically they put out those vids and all that pre-production info saying it has a higher stall converter, but never any real facts on it. A lot of people were skeptical about it, but it's pretty obvious when you drive it.

Is your insurance more expensive with that R/T option?

It's really hard to tell what the suspension does, because the TM retards the power so much from a launch.

Good luck finding one to test drive! They only made a handful of 09s, production should be starting up about now for the '10s though.

Yeah, I think I will. I've got a buddy with some 17s, he's already offered them

I think this truck would be in the 12s with all that(maybe with drs though). Mostly the tune, this truck is held back a lot. Can't blame dodge, with the lifetime drivetrain warranty!

Honestly, I don't know.
