Go faster without voiding any warranty (I'm sure that lifetime warranty would be affected by a cam install) and get better brakes and suspension tuning as well as better seats. Considering what you pay to get a decked out R/T, you'll have better luck a more valuable package. You seem to be forgetting there's more to a car than how fast it can accelerate.
I still think you're paying too much for a disappointing car. The car accelerates like a GT, but actually handles slightly worse. The SRT-8 will probably be a similar story to the Camaro. The Camaro will handle a lot better, but accelerate near the same. Think of your purchase that way, then tell me why you still want the Challenger.
One good thing about tihs article is that it shows the Mustang is over 3500 pounds unlike everyone claims. So the R/T only weighs what? 600 pounds more? And the Mustang guys say the GTO was fat.

I don,t care about warrantee or full package because I was going to mod the srt anywayz but it would take longer. For example, I am swapping out the seats...so I rather pay less and get cloth, I am going to upgrade the suspension ect ect...so I rather start with a cheaper car with similar power and make it unique. My order came out to 39 at invoice price due to the stupid 2500 gg tax and added $ for the stick. The RT is 26999 invoice price, and is ready to be modded. I dunno my car is still not even in d status so who knows when it is going to get built since dodge decided to build the stick srt8s last. Oh and trust me the RT will probably handle better due to IRS but that is yet to be seen.
