The R/T is a little bit slower in the 0-60, but it's faster in the quarter (though probably not enough to notice a difference between either cars). However, the R/T is much sexier than the GT in my opinion, with better seats and IRS to boot.

the bullitt did it in 5.1 and it had less weight.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
