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.
Agreed. I think both the SS and SRT are rated at 420 ft/lbs torque, the big difference is the HP ratings (RT about 50 less). Again, this is why I picked the RT: for the additional $8-10 grand, I can mod it to out perform both the SS and the SRT.
