On - Road When the 2500 models swapped over to the new radius arm front suspension (Ram calls it a three - link), the goal was to reduce body
roll and increase
roll stiffness — we can tell you firsthand, it works perfectly at just that.
Introduced for the 1987 model year and based
on the Porsche 911, the CTR featured an enlarged and highly tuned version of Porsche's 3.2 litre flat - six cylinder engine, lightened body panels, an integrated
roll cage (adding chassis
stiffness in addition to occupant safety), upgraded suspension and braking systems, a custom - designed transmission, and several unique trim pieces such as polyurethene bumpers, and the use of the side mounted oil filler (a Porsche feature for the 1972 MY only) necessitated by relocating the oil tank forward to clear the intercooler
