I recently bought a 99 Dakota R/T club cab and after reading and watching reviews mostly from years ago, it looks like back in the day the truck's performance was comparable to performance cars of it's time. However, moving to the present day, 20 years later, 250 hp isn't uncommon even on affordable sedans. Torque on the other hand I believe is still above average for today standards. Unfortunatelly, this is a also heavy truck.
So I was wondering, what modern vehicles would a stock Dakota R/T still be competitive against as far as performance goes?
