Stock for stock..R/T's are sometimes equal, if not faster on the track. The softer suspension and tires on the R/T's allows for better grip and weight distribution. The 5.7L also produces more power and torque down low, where you need that power in drag racing.
Fully modded out the SRT has more "potential" for being a race winner than the R/T, but stock for stock and mildly modified (long tubes, full exhaust, intake, etc) the R/T has more practical power. A lightly modified R/T will run in the high to mid 12's, a lightly modified SRT will run only in the high 12's.
SRT's come far better equipped from the factory, so they have less room to grow. The R/T's exhaust manifold, throttle body, tune and exhaust is so bad that they turn into different animals when modded.
