good question...the SRT line is in much need of an upgrade to separate itself from its little brother. thats why i couldnt justify paying another 10k for that little of a gap. i know theres more to it than just horsepower and torque, but those are big factors for me.

there is also some speculation that the real hp numbers are more in the lines of 390-400 in the new re-worked 5.7 for '09, but dodge would never advertise that since its so close to the 6.1 and the only number a lot of people look at is the horsepower.
