Assuming the 5.7L HEMI R/Ts do put down 410 lb/ft torque, how come thats only 10 less than a 6.1L HEMI SRT?

Don't get me wrong, when I was considering a Challenger I was only considering an R/T myself as I think the SRTs are very overpriced. But for $10k more, there should be alot more of a performance gap between the two models. Of course if ALL the mags/Dodge's numbers are truly correct, there really is about a .5 sec difference in the 1/4 mile between the R/Ts and the SRTs.
